Notable Quotes:

• Kent on the election result: “As unhappy as I am with the result, I think it’s better for the country that it’s resounding. I think we’re going to pay a great price for it. And I think that’s going to be necessary. Elections have consequences and it it’s going to hurt people like me who feel like I do and it probably needs to.”
• Kyle on Trump’s cabinet appointments: “I think what you’re going to see different, which I get that it you know could potentially scare are people who don’t agree with his agenda, is he’s going to have people that are dedicated to implementing his agenda versus I think that in the last go-round he hired a lot of people that, you know, some supported his agenda and many didn’t and many decided they didn’t want to be a part of it.”
