I don't think it is. I think, first of all, talking about the difference between the two parties is what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to give the contrast. And we have a unique opportunity now. When Trump ran... He could say anything. He said, I'll lower your costs on day one.

And once he's not running and he has to govern and he is so enthralled by tax cuts for the billionaires, it gives us an opening to talk to the people who were listening more to Trump before because we didn't talk to them. The negative that Trump is doing is spreading, but gives us an opportunity to regain the ear

of the working people and middle-class people so that we can connect with them the way we always used to. And it did succeed in the past. It even succeeded even a long time ago, different media world, of course. But 2005, Nancy and Harry, I was at Harry's side. I was his little lieutenant in those days.

We said, we're going to wait for the issue to pounce on, and then we're going to do it every day. George W. said, we're cutting Social Security. They don't change, the Republicans. And we pounced, and we had huge success.

Let me put it this way. First, I don't think there's anybody – well, I think I know how to win seats back in the Senate, which I've proven. Okay, I proved it in 2005 when we gained, I proved it in two, three, four years ago, they said, you'll never get back the Senate. I said, we're gonna. We won the two seats in Georgia, everybody's surprised.

So my, you know, one of the talents that I have, and I miss some and have some, is how to get the right candidates, get the right campaigns, and win back. And even this year, winning four out of those five seats against big headwinds was trouble. But basically, I'm not the only person, nor should I be. This idea we need one person, that's a residue when you have a president. We don't.

I'm sort of like an orchestra leader. And there's a great deal of talent in the orchestra. And my job is to highlight all those talents and emphasize those talents and get Chris Murphy out on television and get Bernie out doing the rallies and get everyone to talk to their constituencies. So that's my job.

Yes. He can't help himself.

Yes. He can't help himself.

There's no final straw. It's all the things he is doing. But let me say this. Last time he was president, which is the closest experience we have with him. Admittedly, the world has changed some, particularly on the media side, how it works. We kept pushing and pushing and pushing and chipping away. And when he went below 40% in the polls, the Republican legislators started working with us.

He was at 51. He's now at 48. We're going to keep at it, keep at it, keep at it. until he goes below 40. Look, I talk to a lot of these Republican legislators. I've worked with them. Some of them are Trump devotees and advocates and all that. But many of them don't like him, don't respect him, and worry about what he's doing to our country.
