Candidates after votes cast, have the opportunity to bring all voters in

What this episode covers

00:00 There are a couple of moments in a political campaign where after all the votes are cast, all the votes have been counted, and a winner has been declared. There are two opportunities, two great opportunities that candidates have. 00:22 Number one, the winning candidate has the opportunity to go out and give their victory speech. In that speech, they've got an opportunity to make the people that voted for them glad they did it. 00:43 and to make the people that didn't vote for them, to make them uh confident that even though they didn't get your vote, they're still going to work very hard for you. 00:57 That's a great opportunity. There's also a great opportunity for the losing candidate. 01:06 in their concession speech. They come out, they show to everyone how gracious they are. They congratulate the winner. 01:19 They made the people that didn't vote for them go, you know what, I didn't vote for the guy, but he was a good guy. I just like the other guy better. 01:31 Thomas Massey did not take that opportunity last night in his concession speech. This is what Thomas Massey said last night. I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede and it took a while to find Ed Galrein in Tel Aviv. 01:59 did get the call through though. I have called and conceded the race. uh We've been honorable the whole time and we're going to stay that way. Up until then? 02:12 I guess? I don't know. But if that's what you call honorable Thomas Massey, m you might want to look it up in the dictionary. 02:22 to throw a jab like that in your concession speech. You know what that did last night? Everybody that voted against Thomas Massie, and I believe that's what a lot of people did. It wasn't so much that they voted for Ed Gilrain, they voted against Thomas Massie. 02:42 They voted for President Trump. 02:46 But you know what you did last night, Thomas Massey? You solidified everybody that voted against you. Everybody that voted against you went, aha, that's why. That's why I voted against that guy. You proved their point. You proved the president's point last night in that so-called concession speech. 03:13 let's go back to this is scott jennings over on cnn again it was the most expensive house primary in u.s. history and the president made it a priority to get rid of thomas massie and he succeeded because massie had frankly become an opponent of the president uh... inside of the party he just can't do that no messy used to reliably vote with the republicans that number had been falling over time this is one of the most conservative districts in the country it's certainly uh... a conservative area of kentucky 03:40 uh... they gave donald trump a massive victory in twenty twenty four and they expect the republican congressman who represents them to be part of the team the two big issues in the race that were in most of the advertising had to do with tax cuts and immigration and messy uh... was against trump on both of his big border security and tax cut bills they said look we can get a republican congressman will be part of the team and support the president that campaign work uh... i just want also add one of the fact 04:08 thomas massie tonight in his concession speech said something despicable anti-semitic nasty gutter politics at the end what a way to go out and he's exactly right what our way to go out now air senator eric schmidt has got a message out there to all the rhinos the war and the abstain files yeah i think moving uh... trump agenda forward you gotta remember you zoom out here 04:37 People, many people, not me, not you, wrote Trump off after he left office the last time. He brought back the most historic comeback in modern political history. No one's ever seen a non-consecutive term like this. And he ran on a very specific agenda, right?
