And the message seems to be we did all the right things.

We just need to talk about them better.

That's what Speaker Johnson said this week after the election results.

Not that there was any real lesson for the party, but just that they needed to sell President Trump's policies more effectively than they have in the past.

Just like Democrats during Joe Biden's entire presidency.

follow in his footsteps at those kinds of moments so that's where we are now well julie tyler lisa thank you all very much thanks so much michael thanks for having us
