A Big Night for Republicans. Now What?
The midterm elections are finally over, pending runoffs, and it looks as if it was a good night for Republicans. So what are the lessons that we can take away from this election? According to Cato scholar Michael D. Tanner, Republicans will be making a mistake if they interpret this election as an endorsement of the Republican agenda. “If Republicans want to build on last night’s success, particularly for 2016,” says Tanner, “they will have to come up with a positive agenda, and prove that they can govern without surrendering on basic principles. That’s a tough order.”
