1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: With the drive by media in election analysis overdrive, Politico

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: has just noticed another reason for Democrats to be unhappy now.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: So far, Democrats didn't take over the Senate as they

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: believe they would. They did not expand their reach in

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: the House. There was no blue wave. But there's more

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: bad news for them. Political reports the Democrats performed horribly

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: in the state legislative races and that the state power

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: deficit is going to impact American politics for at least

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: the next ten years. Political warns this could ultimately mean

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: more Republicans in both Washington and in state capitals across

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: the Fruited Plain. Not remember something, folks, Because of Barack

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Hussain Obama, the Democrats posted horrific losses in many state legislatures.

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: The country was so disgusted. After the first two years

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: of Obama, Democrats lost over seven hundred seats everything from

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: dog Catcher to the Senate. Republicans took over the majority

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: of state legis slaters, and ever since the Democrats have

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: been trying to get those back and they've failed. And

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: the predicted blue wave that never materialized totally demoralized them

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: because they failed again. Now there's the census and the

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to control most of the redistricted seats

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: for the next five election cycles, and they ought to

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: use that power to the fullest extent possible without apology,

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: because elections do, indeed have consequences.
