What the hell happened last night?

We got our butts kicked, meeting Republicans.

At the end of the day, Democrats out maneuverers and certainly had, and at the end of the day,

what they did is they created one crazy candidate here in New York, which we're going to have to

live with the new mayor, an experience, and certainly

socialist by inclination, and two progressive women who, we've got new governors of Virginia and New

Jersey. The women I worry about more because they're articulate, and they have an interesting

story, and they blew us out. I mean, the margins were way better than anybody anticipated.

Then he goes for the last two years in legal entanglements and potential impeachments and all

the rest of it.

So he's got to basically get his focus and his White House's teams focused on those midterms.
