On this week's Friday roundtable MPR News' Kerri Miller talks with our guests about the ways in which regional politics relate to what's happening on the national stage. 


Our panelists talk about immigration, campaign spending, and walleye, as well as how non-traditional candidates are tapping into the politics of frustration.


Our guests highlight the gulf between the traditional and non-traditional candidates by examining the campaign styles of Donald Trump and former Governor Jesse Ventura, and Sen. Bernie Sanders and how traditional candidates respond to them.
