Dating across political lines 



Whether you’re single or have a partner, everyone can agree that dating is really hard. Many people feel that looking for love is especially difficult when spending time on dating apps or websites. And the growing divide between political ideologies can make it even more challenging.

MPR News host Catharine Richert and her guests talk about dating across political lines. Is it possible to date across the political spectrum? Does love come before or after party?
