and freedom. and the economy. they were lucky they are contrary to all these issues. what happened in michigan? they wanted republican, victories wanted the state house. and, now the new leader of the state senate is going to be from grand rapids, which used to be a republican area. and this is the first time in their history. and this is a first time in 40 years. michigan is the perfect case study and how to run these campaigns. you are absolutely right. it is message discipline. they stayed on. it they were able to talk about every single one of those issues at the same time. they made abortion rights into an economic issue as well. they convinced people about. that had the benefit of running against bad quality candidates. it is a good case study. and they took a stand, and they said that this is about democracy. this is about democracy. jocelyn benson, and the secretary of state he was reelected, sort of became the spokesperson for secretaries of state. i wouldn t tell, y
more normal candidates, if not what do you say when you have a guy who, attempted to overthrow the government of the united states, and they wouldn t vote to convict him? so there is no saving this party. you can only try to defeat it, and doing so, saying democracy and rebuild from the ashes. stuart, simone because i want to follow up on this point, to hear you say you are trying to burn the republican party down, that was something i had never heard you particularly say before. i find it interesting, because i look at what happened in nevada with the races between katherine cortez masto and adam laxalt, is the 4982 votes, that make the difference in her being the next senator, or adam laxalt being the next senator. how is that even possible what you are talking about? now that the republican party is, losing okay now there is
how then does the republican party react to what just happened? do they react? do they reform? it sounds like to me from listening to you that they are just going to ignore what happened and continue in their downward trajectory. this is what i see we re trying to. do they re trying to blame donald trump. they re trying to do to donald trump with donald trump does to anybody who gets in trouble. i never knew, this guy who. izzy trump, they re gonna be saying he s a coffee before it s over. look, it s really clear that there is a civil war in the republican party. which i think is going to make the russian revolution and look like a picnic. look at kari lake. these people hate mitch mcconnell. they are not gonna allow him to try to return to any sanity. stuart, thank, you fred, but we were analysis in the work for you and your colleagues have been doing to save democracy in this country.
donald trump was. i cannot confirm the joe biden does not run his own twitter account. and watch. i don t, know athlete knows this better than i do. what if the global economy improves, american economy, a proves in the next year. the only thing holding joe biden down in his numbers is not some crazy stuff they are saying. if it improves that, all inflation stabilizes. biden s job approval will go back up to where barack obama s job approval was when he got reelected. that is such an important point because going into this election, matthew, there was this debate that was happening and we were asking almost every congress men weather is patrick right here in new york, when a special election asking him whether or not it was the right call to make abortion front and center. whether or not it was important to make democracy front and center. whether or not we should be talking, about as they call, kitchen table issues like gas prices and the economy. and democrats were able to sa
that is just extraordinary. and, it has not happened ever in america. so i guess the repudiation of some of the big as you call waving bloody shirt election deniers in this election, could do two things, one it could cause republicans like many a you at the lincoln project, former republicans to say, hey, let s fix this, buddy let s fix it in the mold of liz cheney, of adam kinzinger, of conservatives who would like to be conservative and have a normal party unlike democracy, or it could shift in the direction you just did, people who don t wave the bloody shirt, but still don t really support the underpinnings of democracy that we need in this country. just to be clear, at the lincoln project, we are not trying to say the republican party. we are trying to burn the republican party to the ground. because i think that is the only way that you are ever going to be able to rebuild a sane center right party. pain is a teacher here. that is what is going the only thing that will make
