the g.o.p. canal block these radical kook programs that biden is pushing. they conduct investigations. they can do what they need to do. but is this good enough? no, it s not good enough. if the republicans allow the same d.c. establishment that you see on tv all the time telling you how smart they are and they know everything, if they allow them to control the agenda and the money, the future is bleak. carley: let s bring an republican strategist chris spirit good morning to you. a little bit of optimism from mark 11 but a lot of republicans are surprised about the news ovr the weekend that the democrats e seat which is considered the best pickup opportunities for republicans. what happened there in overall, what happened no red waves that people anticipated? first off, i think mark is right in many ways, but some

results? i ve been talking about this for years. it seems as if i was the only one talking about it. today there are a whole lot more people talking about it. the way i would interpret it, look, this should have been a huge red wave. it should have been one of the biggest red waves we ve ever had. president biden s approval rating was so low, one of the lowest historically. more than 70% of the people thought the country was going in the wrong direction, and yet we still didn t perform. i think common sense conservatives that focused on talking about issues people cared about like the economy and crime and education, they did win. but people who tried to relitigate the 2020 election and focused on conspiracy theories and talked about things the voters didn t care about, they were almost university rejected. i think it s basically the third election in a row that donald trump has cost us the race. three strikes, you re out.
