Description: Craig Melvin gets to the root of the dysfunction on Capitol Hill by explaining how most congressmen’s districts are non-competitive because of gerrymandering; where few challenges from the other party mean more grandstanding and brinksmanship. MSNBC contributor Jared Bernstein, NBC’s Mark Murray, and Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., join him.
