Joining us now is Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation and author of a new book calling for what he's labeled the Second American Revolution. First of all, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks for having me. Look, we all just went through a tumultuous election year. Nothing about the election went the way anybody anticipated in terms of the campaigns. It was historic.
It was wild. And from the news side, it was very entertaining to cover. We've now made it through and we have a president elect Trump, the 47th president of the U.S., Let's start by focusing actually on the Democrats. What do you believe are the lessons that should have been learned by Democrats this go round? And do you actually think they're going to learn them?
Bottom line is the top lesson Democrats should be talking about right now is that when you govern like radical leftists and attempt to run to the center very late in the campaign, that does not work. Sometimes it works for Democrats to govern on the radical left, but they, over many, a long period of months, will move to the center and it works.
In this case, their record prevented that from happening. And the more the vice president tried to present herself as someone in the center, there were two problems that she had. Number one, enough of the American people realized that was a lie.
