Tom Rogan: Mid Term Results a ‘Rejection’ of Trump Resistance from the GOP
EXCERPT:
HEMMER: "I’m looking for a theme. Here is one. 'Wall Street Journal' headline: Political Outsiders Progress in State Races. Is it still the year, is it still the two-year advance of the outsider, Tom?"
ROGAN: "I think it certainly is. And you see that rendered in the results that we’ve seen coming in overnight. But I also think quite interestingly you have seen this rejection perhaps of what some might have been saying was a growing sentiment [indecipherable] perhaps by people like Jeff Flake, Senator McCain to have Republicans push back against the president. The president has, I think, been somewhat vindicated in terms of at least his control of the Republican Party narrative in last night’s results. i think specifically look at Minnesota, for example. But it is interesting to see quite how much across the country whether Democrat or Republican voters seem to have a vested interest in having newcomers come into the field because they evidently don’t have that much faith in the old comers, the establishment."
