Never shy about foisting their views on others, Adam and Jeff invite Chris Eddy, the retired general and recent GOP candidate for the 25th U.S. Congressional District in Florida to talk about what went right and what went wrong in his election bid.  Chris provides a statistical analysis of the early voting and election day voting and focuses on some of the  factors that may have prevented him from unseating the incumbent in a very tight election.  Jeff asks Chris why Democrats appear to be willing to "die on the hill" for various issues that appeal to very small groups of voters.  Chris also talks about the changes made in the last four years in the election laws of many states that caused the 2024 election to appear like a seamless process compared to the 2020 clown show that resulted in the Biden victory.  Adam points out that President Trump is bringing in more loyalists the second time around due to the very mixed results he obtained during his first term when he relied heavily on Washington "insiders".  All three seem to agree that Trump framing his policies as "common sense" rather than being motivated by ideological concerns would explain why Trump's policies are more popular than Trump himself--who is not exactly known for his cuddley demeanor.
