0:00.0 | Now, this was my first time analyzing midterm elections and I learned quite a bit. Most importantly, |
0:06.4 | I learned why we lost. Put quite simply, Republicans are the losing party. Marjorie Taylor Green |
0:11.8 | recently said that politics are a blood sport and to be quite honest, she's right. Now, |
0:16.7 | typically in a sport you draft the best players in the league, understand your opponent's weaknesses, |
0:21.1 | learn how to properly play the game as a team work together for that big win, |
0:26.0 | but most importantly, you suspend the players that just aren't cutting it. |
0:30.3 | Now, unfortunately, the Republican Party has not learned these basic lessons, |

1:16.8 | Emmer was more focused in the last few months on running for whip than electing Republicans to |
1:22.4 | Congress. If there's one man responsible for the lack of a red wave, it was him. Now, we fast forward to today in the House GOP conference, |
1:31.7 | just elected, yes, Tom Emmer as their nominee for Whip. And let's take a peek at this man's track record. |
1:39.3 | First off, he once served as a paid spokesperson for a Soros-funded organization seeking to get rid of the |
1:45.2 | electoral college, but my friends, it gets much worse than that. He was also one of nine Republicans |
