Now, he was at 100%, so God bless him.
But he's down to 84%, and you and I both know that the Republican Party is shrinking.
If you look at the actual registration base, it's at 28%, 29%.
So he's shrinking, his support is shrinking, and what he has a tendency to do when that happens, he starts lashing out at the people in the room.

And he said, what of the Pope?
He has no divisions.
He has no army.
Okay, and this was the pure real politic military material power argument.
But if you remember, and I'm sure you do, Winston Churchill then said, well, he doesn't have a number of legions that are always visible on parade.
