I think he has enough time to get his base on board and keep them aligned.
But I think that he's committed a lot of unforced errors in putting bricks on top of each other that maybe didn't need to be put there in the first place politically when you talk to Republicans and Republican strategists who just would โ especially those on front lines โ
in those 40 or so congressional districts.
And that's why you're seeing so many Republicans, you know, go to the exits at this point, because they feel what the political winds are and maybe I mean, you're certainly right there.
There's eight months still to go until the election.
But the direction that he has pushed the Republican Party in has made it where independence, those Latinos that he had won over have slid far away from him in the polls.
Yeah.
I mean, on the domestic front, it's it's reflected, you know, as well with the Save America Act, because.
Again, Trump doesn't believe in collaboration.
He believes in domination.
And when he goes in there and says that the Senate majority leader, John Thune of South Dakota, he's got to be a leader, he said, and just get me the votes.
That's not how it works, right?
That's not how legislation works.
You can't just, you know, make people vote the way that you want them to.
Well, yeah, I mean, there's the filibuster, which is an issue.
And you have a lot of Republicans who don't want to get rid of the filibuster to do something like the Save America Act because they see in the long run the potential for Democrats to push through legislation that they want.
And you could have this real rapid back and forth swing.
It's something that outgoing Senator Tom Tillis warned about from North Carolina in a statement why he would be opposing
the Save America Act, even though he's in favor of a lot of the voter ID restrictions, even the proof of citizenship clause in it, you know, because he said that he had helped pass a voter ID law when he was Speaker of the House in North Carolina.
Yeah.
