While Americans were voting, I rejoined Peter Tilden at Los Angeles’ talk radio mega station KABC to discuss American Nations, American Character, and the implications for the midterms. Our conversation is available online as a podcast here. (See the Nov. 6, 2018 link.)
My prediction came true: Democrats made substantial gains in the US House in Yankeedom and the Midlands, flipping seats in Iowa, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, upstate New York, northern Illinois and (likely) Maine. Their other gains at this hour were almost entirely in Tidewater, El Norte, New Netherland and the Far West.
I was last on KABC in February 2017.
Enjoy the show and thanks again to Tilden and producer Joe Armstrong for having me on.
