camper tonight, he has lost a seat, but on the other hand, he might be doing a victory dance because he wouldn t even say bannon s name and he wanted to say this guy keeps picking losers. i m doing the right thing for the party, he s not. i think that sounds about right. one of the big winners is the quote unquote donald trump likes to call the swamp, but establishment republicans. remember, at the beginning, they wanted luther strange, they lost that race, and then you saw establishment republicans, including richard shelby, the senior senator from alabama, saying, hey, listen, don t quote for this guy, i am not voting for this guy. this speaks to the larger problem the republic and party has. t now that donald trump is in the white house, i would argue ase, part of the farther left fringe of the party, i think he is connected synonymously with steve bannon, the biggest problem they have is how do they talk to suburban voters? how do they talk to suburban voters of virginia? now we
