Sean Davis News Explosion

There is no Barack Obama without the Iraq War. George W. Bush started a catastrophic foreign conflict, wrecked his party's majority, and handed Washington to the Left. Twenty years later, the exact same clowns are running the exact same playbook.

Turns out if you spend an entire campaign promising you won't get dragged into another stupid war, people actually expect you to keep your word. The experts swore there was zero downside. Losing an entire generation is a pretty massive downside.

You can always tell when Senate Republicans are getting ready to kill a wildly popular bill. The second voter ID showed up, they suddenly started crying about parliamentarians and Senate procedure. They had the votes. They just didn't want to deliver.

Senate leadership ran the exact same scam on the SAVE Act that they ran on Obamacare in 2017. They begged for total power, hid behind parliamentarians the second they got it, and handed Democrats an incoming 56-seat majority.

The establishment loves the minority because nobody expects them to pass a single reform. They traded a historic mandate for early flights home and zero accountability.

Republicans got crushed, and Sean Davis says it's the gas prices, stupid. In the first episode, he breaks down the three reasons for the GOP wipeout, Mollie Hemingway joins to talk about what comes next, and explains why prediction markets are just gambling.
