Representatives, senate, american politics moderate to liberal northeasternen call themselves republicans, conservative sunners call themselves democrat. could find liberals called themselves democrats. two party coalitions were very diverse sort of ideologically and regionally and it s interesting, because one of the sort of the law of unintended consequences. right? newt gingrich and republicans got control over this massive republican revolution. gained 54 seats in 1994. he really believed it was the fulfillment of goldwater 64, reagan 80, the country asserting it was fundamentally a center-right country, and what actually happened was for parts of country, that s true. and really became republican and became red since 1994, but other parts of the country, like you re saying, new england. perfect example of this. used to send moderate republicans to congress over and observer again and reacted to this new republican party they were seeing in the form of newt gingrich, the form of ....
There s enough out there for the republicans to say, these are our priorities. but instead, they have decided to to do the most inflammatory trump-like things that they can. i don t know if it s to appease the marjorie taylor greenes of the party, but mccarthy better wake up, because there s a lot more moderates in this caucus than there are fringe candidates or fringe members of congress like marjorie taylor greene or boebert. so right now i think he s trying to run a campaign for speaker, but it is turning off the men public in great numbers, and we see it, because in 2022 with those issues top of mind the american public especially independents says, wow, we care about those issues but we don t think republicans can fix it. that s bad news. and steve kornacki, when we talking about, discussed your podcast about the 94 evolution. ....
