Skye and Brian also talk about former Governor John Kasich's virtual visit to a Medicaid expansion committee, review the John Locke Foundation's Civitas Partisan Index, and discuss why unaffiliated voters are now the largest voting bloc in the state.  And, of course, they run down the #DoPoliticsBetter #NCGA Bracket Challenge.
