I don't think he's bent on vengeance. He keeps saying our success will be our retribution. I think he's very laser focused on creating a great economy. And that's really the thing that he really wants.

I think that's just total nonsense. It's like saying, now that we set this thing in motion, now that we beat you up, oh, now we're calling a truce. First of all, I think that's like, so it's such an unfair standard to set. You are not a leader unless you... Accept a truce after we beat you up and punched you in the face a billion times.

First of all, to set that up as the standard for leading, I think is so unfair. But also, how could you say he's not a leader?

Marco Rubio getting 99 votes to zero confirmed.

I mean, talk about leading. I do think that this is where most Americans are at and that this is an attempt to do a kind of reset. It does not preclude having the kinds of conversations Brianna wants to have down the road.
