The one thing that everybody needed, both the Republicans and Democrats and Scott needs this too and all of the public, all the pundits, right? So I'm in this category. I'm going to criticize. You know what we all needed? There's one thing we all needed. A big old dose of humility. That's what we all needed, right? We all needed to be a little bit wrong and just have it slapped in our faces, right? So everybody got to be a little bit wrong on this one.

Here's how the Democrats are wrong. The strongest governors won easily, right? The governors who handled things like Republicans and had real plans and real solid policy things. DeSantis being one, Abbott being another. I guess what's his name in Georgia? Georgia governor is Kemp. Yeah. So those three governors are being held out as good models. So if you're a Democrat you look at those three governors and you say oh, and Youngkin another example. Yeah four governors let's say. You would look at those governors and say oh every time somebody acts like a good Republican they win big. How about that? The people who actually act like real Republicans not crazy Republicans. You're not extreme Republicans. Not Marjorie Taylor Greene. I'm not criticizing her. I'm just saying that she's in that way, right? So if you're a Democrat you need to have some humility that when a Republican acts like a Republican without the crazy they win hard, right? Being a just a normal capable Republican governor and you don't just win you win with like a punch. It's like a win plus. It's not even close. But then you throw the crazy in and what happens? Not so easy, right? You throw in Dr. Oz and he's not exactly a traditional Republican is he? You're not quite sure what you're getting there because it's a little mix of stuff. A mix. You know his background has some sketchy stuff according to people. What's crazy about Oz is some of his things he's promoted in his entertainment career. Now I don't necessarily think that should haunt him because that's a different kind of job but it is. I think it does. I think it leads to the not serious feeling. You look at DeSantis and you say he's serious or not serious. DeSantis is as serious as a heart attack. You look at Abbott. Is Abbott a serious politician or not? So he's serious. That's a serious guy, right? Those are serious people. But you look at Oz and as serious as he may be about politics at the moment you don't get the same feeling about him, right? It feels a little more opportunistic. Would you say a little opportunistic? Which is nothing wrong with that by the way. If you're not opportunistic why aren't you? You should all be opportunistic. You know that's our system. Play it the way it was designed. Be opportunistic. But it might not look good. Might not look good as a candidate.

Is Masters done or does he still have a chance with what's uncounted? Is Blake Masters done? That race hasn't been called yet, right? Because there's still some small chance that the remaining votes go his way. Small chance. Not looking good.

Do you think that Trump made the quality of candidates not matter? I think a little bit he did. And what I mean by that is what Trump did was maybe solidify the team play aspect more than anybody else did. You could imagine or you know 20 years ago you could imagine a Republican or a Democrat just voting for the other team because they like that candidate. It's easy to imagine a Democrat voting for Reagan, right? That's pretty easy to imagine and it worked. But Trump came in and he basically made it a blood war. So being on the side of the blood enemy that doesn't work the same, right? Reagan liked everybody and so it was okay to be on his team even if he didn't like 100% of what he was doing. Trump is so polarizing that I think people just voted for their team. So I think that the team play nature of things just eliminated the quality of the candidate except remember good pitching beats good hitting and vice versa. Except where the candidate was so strong like the Republican governors we mentioned where the candidate was so strong that nothing else mattered and people said oh okay I can get beyond that.

Rasmussen said that 25% of the people they polled say that the late results make them more confident that the election is fair. 25%. So 25% say that when you don't immediately have a result like every country in the world can do that that's probably an indicator that things are more secure than you thought. 25 percent. Sometimes that's called like one quarter. Oh and why does that number keep popping up anyway?

Here's the most unexpected but not really story of the day that has nothing to do with this but we'll get back to it. Remember Alan Dershowitz was accused by one of the Epstein victims, young women. And the victim, young woman who has been accusing Dershowitz of sexual impropriety for years today recanted her accusation. She fully recanted her accusation. What? Yeah exactly. Exactly. Yeah I'm watching the comments over locals and the people are like what what. Now does recanting your accusation mean that it wasn't true? It doesn't, right? It doesn't mean it wasn't true. But I'm going to pat myself on the back for something if you don't mind. All right. When many of you were basically saying you know Dershowitz is dead to you because of those accusations I said he has an unusually strong defense and you better wait. You better wait on this one because he's not hedging. He wouldn't write it. He wen
