The Republican Party won the election last week. It also won the popular vote and its people won the Senate, and the House; and the right to call themselves America’s majority party.
With post-election analysis pointing to the rise of the “values voter” some insiders are calling on the party to find its moral compass. Others are mapping a new path to the White House that bypasses the South, while others are saying this was a simple matter of the wrong candidate, with the wrong message at the wrong time. Democrats now trying to change the tune for the blue state blues.
Guests:
