About this episode

Holy sh*t! Democrats roll to commanding majorities in both the Senate and House, cruising to wins in deep-red Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas (and just about everywhere else) and picking up key governorships around the country. Jon, Lovett, Dan, and Tommy go through all the highlights of this historic drubbing, the forces that drove it, and the emerging Democratic stars who made it possible. Warning: if you're looking for bad news, you won't find it here.
