About this episode

Daniel Horowitz discusses the reasons behind the GOP's losses in Virginia, attributing it to Trump's toxic image and the failures of the conservative movement.

Con Inc. is out blaming the Virginia loss on a lack of money and focus. Con Inc. is also upset that Republican states haven’t been as aggressive in redistricting. But this all misses the point. The reason the GOP is losing is that Trump’s image, messaging, and policies are toxic and conservatives are accomplishing nothing. And to the extent that there are problems with RINOs refusing to redistrict or a lack of funds from the RNC, that all gets back to the man they refuse to criticize. From the alienation of independent and suburban voters to the stark differences between how red and blue states wield their power, I dismantle the current state of the conservative movement and outline exactly why Republicans are bleeding political capital.
