Post-Midterm Download: Why the Trump Coalition Collapsed || Isaac Saul, Tangle
The Trump coalition didn’t just crack on Tuesday night. In Isaac Saul’s words, “it was nuked.”
Two days after a historic midterm, Tangle founder Isaac Saul returns for a post-election download. We cover the polling miss, the Texas result that surprised him most, Trump’s quick concession, why gerrymandering backfired, and what a Democratic House should do about corruption without overreaching. We also take a temperature check on whether decency is making a comeback, and how to talk to a buddy at the bar who answers every corruption story with “what about Hunter Biden?”
