We ask three friends of the show about the “red wave” that never quite materialized and what lessons we can learn from the wins and losses in Wisconsin and around the country. Contributing analyst Joe Zepecki in Milwaukee, Courier Newsroom national correspondent Keya Vakil in Los Angeles, and Brett Pransky from our Pennsylvania outlet The Keystone help us make sense of Tuesday’s results.

On Friday: 

• Sen. Tammy Baldwin talks to us about asking the US Dept. of Education to go after predatory private schools that forced students into unnecessarily expensive loans while offering nearly-worthless diplomas. Also, Courier Newsroom political director Carolyn Fiddler, former Chicago Tribune editor Mark Jacob, and UW-Eau Claire athletic director Dan Schumacher.
