tammy: you are watching a live special edition of tucker carlson tonight where we go inside the issues. we go to tucker as he tackles america s struggling middle class and why some 2016 trump voters turned on the g.o.p. in the midterms. donald trump became president two years ago thanks largely to a huge surge of support from the american middle class. they supported him because they are dying as a group the american middle class is shrinking in absolute terms and in many cases dying younger. they reached out to the president to help. but, in 2018, in the midterms we just had last week, a lot of those voters seemed to have drifted back away from the republicans. the house went democratic. republicans lost a bunch of senate races in states that president trump won two years ago. how did that happen? what should republicans be doing to change it and what should be their positions moving forward? no one has watched more carefully than j.d. vance. he wrote the book hillbilly
