has evolved to be the party of the professional class, whereas the Republicans are more the party of the working class. And you're now starting to see it. I think Biden was the Democrats' last vestige of this working class party. He really worked at being appealing to those voters, you know, the whole Scranton Joe image. Yeah, Union Joe. Yeah, exactly.

Whereas Kamala, when you get her talking in an unguarded moment, and it's not a canned answer, she's going to talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion. And that's not what your typical teamster wants to hear.

Let me ask you a challenging question, because one of its likes when I ask you a challenge a bit. If Trump loses, what do you think will be the cause of the loss? If he loses, like strategically, when we look back on the last six months, what do you think you would change? What would cause it?

Well, look, I mean, the great asset that Kamala Harris has is not her likability. It's not her track record. It's not her policies. It's the fact that she's got the media behind her. And if you look at, like, for example, ABC News, 100% of the coverage by ABC News is positive, whereas something like 93% of their coverage on Trump is negative.

And you saw this, that before Harris replaced Biden as the nominee, she had very low favorability ratings. And then the media basically reinvented her as this transformative candidate. So look, when you've got the media willing to operate as de facto members of your campaign, that's tremendously powerful. If we had a fair media, this election wouldn't be close.

So that is the advantage the Democrats have. Now look, should Trump have... done the debate with ABC News? No, I think he should have chosen more fair moderators. I mean, to their credit, I think CNN played the Biden-Trump debate pretty fair and down the middle. But ABC, I mean, it was predictable that, like I said, I mean, one of the hosts was her sorority sister, they're friends.

So, you know, I think that if Trump loses, you could say that his willingness to walk into the lion's den, take on all comers, do every interview, you could say maybe that wasn't as strategic as what she did. But at the end of the day, I think that voters will appreciate that both Trump and J.D. are willing to do basically every podcast, every interview. They're not afraid to answer questions.

And when they do answer questions, you can see them thinking and they don't give you the same canned answer they've given 10 times before. including at the debate. So, yeah, I mean, that's my take. What's yours, J. Cal?

Yeah, that's a good question. If she ends up winning, I think it will be that people believe that they, I think it will be that moderates in those swing states, and women, believe that it's too much chaos and that Trump will be too much, they want a calmer, same thing reason Biden won, right?
