has the republican party left you and others behind for president trump? where is the party? >> time will tell. that was the state of my opponent last night. this is the party of donald j. trump and i can't viusly -- i c disagreed. it is the party of working folks that have put up yard signs and licked envelopes and done all of the things that do to advance politics and this notion that it is belonging to anybody at the top is an inverted pyramid. based on again the design of the founding fathers, wherein a few powers were to be reserved at the top but everything else at the state and local level particularly with republicans who have espoused that n federalism for a long time. we're just in very weird place that i've never seen before. in the case of last night, it cost me the election. >> is the republican party, now the party of trump? >> that is what many are saying.
