And then the other thing you raise that's interesting in these is communication styles.

What are Democratic voters looking for?

Because a lot of these are about – we're asking ourselves these questions about who's the best person.

That was what was interesting about Texas.

Who's the best person to flip a red state?

Who's the best person to beat Susan Collins?

Who's the best person to make sure that we keep Michigan?

And they're making – Democratic primary voters are projecting what they think general election voters will think.

And the communication stuff comes into play with that as well.

And speaking of communication stuff, I want to talk a little bit about the messaging.

On Friday's podcast, I talked to Juliana Stratton, who's the lieutenant governor of Illinois, who just became the nominee to replace Dick Durbin in the Senate in Illinois.

There you go.

Yes.

She is going to be.

She would not when I talked to her.

Yes.

I kept saying when I see you in the Senate, she kept wanting to point out to me that she saw an election together, which is what hurt she's supposed to say that.

As I said to her, if she's not in the Senate, things have gone horribly, horribly wrong for the Democrats.

And that was a primary that didn't get a ton of attention.

It also, like Texas, didn't fit exactly into some of the categories I'm talking about because you had two younger candidates, both relatively establishment figures, although there were some ideological differences.
