Rachel Maddow: In a stunning turn of events last night, we saw Governor Scott Walker and former CEO Carly Fiorina win in a landslide last night against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. What was really surprising about last night, was not that Clinton lost, but just how badly she did. She was polling evenly in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, just a whole bunch of states, and... just look at the results.

SCOTT WALKER: 52.1%        HILLARY CLINTON: 45.2%

SCOTT WALKER: 52.4%        HILLARY CLINTON: 46.5%

SCOTT WALKER: 50.4%        HILLARY CLINTON: 45.4%

SCOTT WALKER: 50.4%        HILLARY CLINTON: 46.5%

There's really no explaining this, but the American people have spoken, and they've spoken for conservative change.

SCOTT WALKER: 338 (52%)         HILLARY CLINTON: 200 (46%)

Even with these devastating results for Democrats at the national level, there were a few bright spots downballot. Russ Feingold is returning to Washington D.C., defeating incumbent Senator Ron Johnson. Florida's new Senator is Patrick Murphy, who won in the closest Senate race in the country against fellow Congressman DeSantis. The Democrat's strategy for expanding their state legislative power has been a tremendous failure, with the Democrats numbers staying stagnant in every legislative chamber, despite their best efforts.

U.S. SENATE: 53 REPUBLICANS, 45 DEMOCRATS, 2 INDEPENDENTS

Republicans made even more gains with gubernatorial mansions, bringing the Democrats to holding only 15 of the executive offices in the country.

This will certainly be an interesting four years, not only for the country, but for the Republican Party.

Somebody pop the corks! It's GOP Hackishness Time!

One small thing: Not only is the Nebraska Legislature nonpartisan, it's also unicameral (Thank you George Norris).

Who was the Republican who beat Bennet?

How does Murphy outperform Walker so much?

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

How does Murphy outperform Walker so much?

If Rubio chose not to seek reelection as it seems, all it takes is one "disqualifying comment" from a non-incumbent to allow a moderate like Murphy to sneak in.

I feel like this TL is going to be like a nice cheese, leaving a bad taste in my mouth but wanting more.

Rachel Maddow: Good evening, everybody. So as we all know, President Walker was sworn in today, but the big news is not that. No, the big news was his inauguration speech, where he promised to enact conservative, wide-reaching legislation. Listen in.



With my mandate, I will work with our congress to pass legislation to limit abortion times nationally, to pass a national flat tax, and to pass legislation effectively ending Obamacare. I will work on enforcing our border security, and to help our job creators more with tax breaks, and I will be working on behalf of business and those who move our economy the most. I'll repeal the awful acts that President Obama signed during his tenure, and I believe we'll move forward from one of the most scandalous and disastrous presidencies in our lifetimes.
