Or think about something that's maybe a little less of a volatile thing, like the idea for the U.S. to buy Greenland. Are those things seriously going to happen? It's hard to see how, but if he says something that big, you have to cover it to some degree. The big question is how much to cover it. That is very, very difficult.

When, first of all, they don't see Democratic leadership having an effective strategy to counter this.
