Trump defied all conventional wisdom to win a decisive victory on Tuesday. The GOP recaptured the U.S. Senate and they appear poised to retain the U.S House. Chris and Sean discuss elements of the Trump victory and why it was likely a foregone conclusion months ago. They talk about the inflection points in the race, some of the reasons Harris couldn’t make the case, and how much Trump over performed in very Democratic states. They discuss the Senate races, and then move to Arizona where there is a spirited discussion about the failures of Kari Lake in losing what should have been a very easy win. They discuss how the abortion issue did not deliver for the Democrats as they expected and they briefly discuss the crisis of the lack of fathers. Finally, they talk about the huge defeat of Prop 140 in Arizona (and all other states where ranked choice voting was on the ballot) and how that movement is dead.
