And that's why their numbers are where they are. The AOC mentality. Look, I'm not a straight hater on AOC. I respect success. She's built a real following for herself. There's no question. You got to respect that. She's got passion and she's got purpose. But this is politics. And her calling Musk an idiot.

Look. It's I know their numbers are very underwater. And again, it makes sense. By the way, nobody's doing well. Republicans just had an historic victory that nobody thought would happen. They're underwater. Trump has better numbers. Let's see where he is in five months. You know, he's at 46. He could easily be at 42, which is where most presidents are.

Well, they just lost this. But look, look at the House. They lost by one seat. So obviously they're winning campaigns. Right. Right. They're winning campaigns. You have a Senate advantage.

He has like a one or two seat, depending on how you look at it, advantage in the House. So the idea that, well, the Democrats are losing everything all the time, we're not seeing, except at the state level.
