Why can't we?

More importantly, why shouldn't we if we if we want to win?

We might have to play dirty.

So I do think there's going to be – I think the midterms are probably going to have a lot more of that than we've seen before.

Yeah.

I was surprised given how

you know, controversial or ugly the primary has seemed online and from the outside, that when I got there, people who like Jasmine Crockett still told me, but I like that James Tallarico too, he seems nice.

I'm not going to vote for him, but he seems nice.

And if if he was in a general, I'd vote for him.

People were not so much interested in their policies.

They were interested in style.

People who liked Crockett liked that she was going to go out there and go after Trump, going to prosecute people when Democrats were back in power.

people who like talarico they were kind of playing a little bit of 3d chess right they were saying well i like talarico because i think he'll appeal to more republicans and independents and moderates when the general election comes so maybe they would prefer crockett maybe some of them would prefer crockett but they they were thinking about electability and i think democrats in texas are really balancing this like urge for a fighter with a desire to win

So I think the Republicans have their own real, real mess over there.

I would say there's three Republicans in the race.

John Cornyn, who's already a senator who's running for reelection.

Ken Paxton, attorney general, who is running against him.

And Wesley Hunt, who is sort of a spoiler in the race.

People like him.

Who knows if, you know, he may be the force that sets the race to a runoff.
