Ryan GirduskyHOST
They swing wildly.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
If they had any kind of deep, deep knowledgeable insight, they would have had Francesca Hong losing the Wisconsin governor's race, which they said she had like a 90% chance of winning.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
She lost, uh, not by much, but she did lose.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
They've gotten most things wrong.
Sean HannityHOST
He won by a point.
Sean HannityHOST
Uh, Francesca Hong was supposed to win.
Sean HannityHOST
There were polls had her up by 30.
Sean HannityHOST
Many polls had her up by 20 points.
Kyle KulinskiHOST
And they're absolutely fucking despised.
Kyle KulinskiHOST
But you can't, I mean, pretending like Hassan says death to America is something he literally has never said, doing the whole fake, the moral panic over Francesca Hong with the, you know, cancel Thanksgiving.
Kyle KulinskiHOST
They're pretending like Abdul had anything to do with that.
Kyle KulinskiHOST
He didn't.
Jay WeberHOST
He says most Democratic politicians and voters don't come from those places and they're far less likely to fall for the DSA pitch.
Jay WeberHOST
And he points to Francesca Hong's defeat in Wisconsin here in the Democrat gubernatorial primary as an example.
Jay WeberHOST
So he says a better way to think about DSA isn't a hostile takeover, but as the vanguard of a radicalized professional class, it's a continuation of a trend already reshaping the Democrat Party.
Jay WeberHOST
Professionals increasingly run it, and those same professionals have grown more radical, especially in the Trump era.
Jim GeraghtyHOST
Uh, thankfully this one has a happy ending, and thank God, and thank goodness for Tom Tiffany.
Jim GeraghtyHOST
I'd also point out that, like, this was a race that certainly dropped off the national radar screen after Francesca Hong lost the primary.
Jim GeraghtyHOST
Um, the polling I had seen, it looked like it was pretty darn close, maybe to other, the Democrat who won the primary, David Crowley, with a small lead.
Jim GeraghtyHOST
It's not like, oh good, there was this, you know, this plane crash for Tom Tiffany, but just an observation, this probably puts the race back on people's radar screens, um, as we get into the he- the heat of the, the, the, you know, the, the peak of campaign season.
Stu BurguiereHOST
This is a, a couple of weeks old.
Stu BurguiereHOST
It goes back-- I know we have at least one more loss than this because it was Francesca Hong.
Stu BurguiereHOST
Ugh, she haunts me throughout this primary season.
Stu BurguiereHOST
But, uh, the, uh, you know, these are the sizes of pr- prediction market positions that we take.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
Hold on a second.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
Francesca Hong, who lost the socialist, who lost the Wisconsin governor's primary, was leading by more than 20 points in five different polls.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
And she lost the race.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
The Iowa Register had Kamala beating Trump by 14 points.
Jim GeraghtyHOST
Uh, thankfully, this one has a happy ending, and thank God, and thank goodness for Tom Tiffany.

Reince PriebusGUEST
Yeah, no, I thought so, too.
Reince PriebusGUEST
And, you know, he's a decent guy from Milwaukee, sort of a, you know, I was hoping Francesca Hong would have won that race because, you know, Crowley's not a nut job.
Reince PriebusGUEST
I mean, he's pretty straightforward.
Reince PriebusGUEST
But he's a decent guy.
13 MINS LATER
Reince PriebusGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I guess I just take the averages to just give myself a general view of where things are at.
Reince PriebusGUEST
When I read that list of polls, the way I take it in is that, well, no matter what polls you look at, It's close everywhere.
Reince PriebusGUEST
And, you know, you look at the polling in Wisconsin, obviously, Francesca Hong was supposed to win by 20 points.
Reince PriebusGUEST
Of course, that didn't happen.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These races ultimately are local, and all politics are local.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My understanding is that Francesca Hong has made clear her present stances to her electorate.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, she's
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
moved away from a lot of that.
