government and we will work hand in hand on a positive agenda to tackle this country's big challenges. donald trump pulled off an amazing political feet. he deserves tremendous credit for that. it helped us keep our majorities but it also showed the country , that people don't like the direction we are going. we need to change direction and what i'm excited about is we in congress along with our nominee who is now the president elect offered a very specific and clear and coherent agenda on which direction we should take the country and that is now the that's why i'm excited about working with our president-election, working with our vice-president elect on the transition to make sure we hit the ground running. there's no doubt our democracy can be very messy and we do remain a sharply divided country , but now, as we do every four years we have to work to heal , the divisions of a long campaign. i think president-elect donald trump set the perfect tone last night for doing just this and i

republican majority might give them. robin vos also sees a donald trump presidency as an opportunity to re-opened the discussion about raising revenue to improve wisconsin's roads, something governor walker is against. >> that is one thing where i am totally in sync with donald trump. i want to make sure we have strong infrastructure. you can't do that by borrowing more money or having phantom savings to be used in the future to pay for these projects. kathy: the next session of the legislature begins in january. ron johnson is headed back to washington. mike gousha is back to talk about the senate race. patrick: ron johnson outperform donald trump.
