Why isn't he in these meetings?

I think there's a counter argument here.

One is a lot of people were predicting that Trump had maxed out his coalition the first time and, you know, people were upset.

They weren't getting exactly what they wanted, you know, all these disappointments.

And then what happened?

He goes on to win the popular vote the second time.

So

If J.D.

were able to maintain Trump's coalition, that alone, he'd be great.

And let's say that things change, because obviously in 2024, almost half the voters were millennials and Zoomers, skewed a little younger.

In my meanderings through the young right, I think the young right does like the vice president a lot.

For sure.

But the other thing, so, you know, to me that's a bonus.

I do think this guy is very, very talented in that he came up as this, you know, Ohio guy, this guy who wrote a very famous memoir about his lower class upbringing and he goes on, succeeds at very high levels.

I think he's positioning himself that way.

He's been very close with Tucker Carlson, who I don't know if Tucker Carlson believes anything at this point.

He plays well in Silicon Valley.

I have no idea.

He plays well with rural people who want industrial policy.

But I mean, he's actually kind of on the phone, remember, on that signal call that was bugged.
