It kind of creates the sense that it was a bigger blowout than it was. I just, I guess now I'm pretty skeptical of this idea. You're saying like, well, if they had done this messaging, Or if they had sort of been better at explaining this, it would have... I feel maybe people now are just voting for full administrations, one of which they felt was moving left, one of which was moving right.

And the sense is, we've just gone too far left. We need to tack back the other way. I think that's probably what it was. That's why I say like I really doubt it would have made a difference if there had been an open primary, if Trump had been killed and Nikki Haley or whatever had taken over or J.D. Vance had been the candidate. I think that people were going to vote not about the person,

Because now it's so clear that these things are moving in diametrically different directions. There's just no overlap between the two policies at all, the two philosophies at all. To a degree that now it seems like there's probably more shared ideas among the citizenship than there are among the parties. That there's more things that Democrats and Republicans agree on
