I'll believe it when I see it.

I do think that you see, I mean, on sort of things that are truly beyond the pale, you do see Republicans kind of, you know, blanch a bit.

You know, House Republicans recently joined with Democrats to put a health care, you know, ACA subsidies extension, you know, pass out of the House.

There's a decent chance it passed the Senate.

But as far as anything more serious than that, again, I will I will believe it when I see it.

I want to add one comment on I think David's good point about the delta between MAGA issue and Trump issue, you might say.

I think you can see that in the relative approvals of Trump and J.D.

Vance.

Good point.

J.D.

Vance, not especially popular, right?

In a post-Trump world, J.D.

Vance clearly wants to be the standard bearer for MAGA.

And he is just broadly disliked in a way that is obviously somewhat just him.

Right, right, right, right.

Exactly.

If I were a Republican running in an unfavorable condition, I would try to localize things as much as possible.

Actually talk about the policies in the most abstract way.

You know, I brought you tax cuts to, you know, for X, Y, or Z, but really try to keep things local and try to erase whatever connection as much as possible you have.

You have to trump.
