Dave is desperately missed in this crazy election year, says Sophia A. McClennen. "Letterman didn’t have to contend with that sort of partisan blowback,” she says. "The unique power of Letterman’s political interventions lies in the fact that he drew an audience from across the political spectrum. Letterman appealed to middle America. An Indiana native on a major network, he spoke to the heartland. His viewers saw him as a down-to-earth, no BS kind of guy and that was why he had such a special talent for deflating gasbags and exposing demagogues. We can be certain he would have had choice words for Trump.”
