“How do you interpret the results and what do they mean for the Republican Party going forward, especially when you look at the midterms? Well, we're very bullish about the midterms. I wouldn't read too much into last night. Special elections and off years are always sort of anomalies. They don't portend what happens in the future. No big surprises last night. I mean, obviously, we predicted all of this. You could say there was a slight surprise, I think, in the AG's race in Virginia, because Mr. Jones had such incredible things that he said and fantasized about his political opponents.” (00:32–00:39)
