Post Midterm Election Roundup 1/2: "Red Wave" that didn't happen and the role of Pollsters

Support our work by becoming a patron here https://www.patreon.com/Theantedote/ Your support is much appreciated!

Hosts Greg McCarron and Jeremy Rothe Kushel discuss the promised "red wave" that was expected to result from the 2022 US midterm elections that did not end up taking place, and then shift focus to the role of political pollsters such as Frank Luntz in shaping discourse and perceptions surrounding more than just elections. We then read from portions of "Proof of Conspiracy" by Seth Abramson which detail the work of pollster and operative Tony Fabrizio during the 2016 election as well as some of the history of Fabrizio's mentor and predecessor, Arthur Finkelstein. We also discuss Whitney Webb's recent appearances on the Patrick Bet David and Glenn Beck podcasts and her response to criticism she has received for her recent interviews.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/22/books/review/insurgency-jeremy-w-peters.html In one luridly fascinating section, Peters details how Trump defused the furor over the “Access Hollywood” tape by ambushing Hillary Clinton with her husband’s accusers at the second presidential debate in St. Louis. The stunt came about thanks to a “norm-shattering” partnership between the Trump campaign and Aaron Klein, a 36-year-old reporter for Bannon’s website, Breitbart News, who tracked down the women and cajoled them into attending.“In the history of modern presidential politics, no candidate had pulled off such a ruthless act of vengeance in public,” Peters writes. “It changed the game, proving to Trump and his allies that there was nothing off-limits anymore.” So pivotal was Klein’s role in Trump’s upset victory that Jared Kushner later told him, “My father-in-law wouldn’t be president without you.”
