This sort of imagery of fighting, this kind of surface fight, but there's nothing for them to really fight on. Now, Trump won in 2016, in my view, because he ran against both the Republican and the Democratic Party establishments. He had to do because his main opponent in the primary was Jeb Bush, the ultimate figure of the Republican establishment. And he still continues to do that.

So there definitely are some differences Democrats have with Trump. The problem is that what are Democrats gonna pretend to stand for? They can't agree on that amongst themselves. They are very much shaped by their big donor base that has a lot of views that have a lot in common with the Republican Party establishment. And I think they're just very confused about who they are.

And that's the problem, Megan. It's like, if you don't know who you are or you're afraid to say who you are, you can like wave your fist in the air and fight and say you're going to do this and that to resist. But ultimately, no one really finds it convincing because you're not really fighting for anything. You're just fighting for the sake of fighting.

And I don't think I think that's what makes the Democrats kind of pathetic right now in the eyes of most people is that they're just afraid to stand for anything. They're confused about what they stand for, whose interests they serve. They really they're just a mess. And that's the big problem to me.

I mean, think about this, Megan. These people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, ran for president and vice president as the Democratic nominee just three months ago. And three months later, the vice presidential candidate is getting 1% of the vote among Democrats as to who represents the party.

I haven't looked, but I would be willing to stake a lot on the fact that when somebody becomes the nominee of a major party, even if they lose the election, a few months after that, if you ask people who's the face of the party, a lot of people are going to say that person because it's the obvious choice. But I think Democrats do feel that loser vibe, like they need to do something else.

I think they're embarrassed about themselves and their party, and they should be. And like, even in this, in that clip, like Tim also is like, you know, we have to fight the primal scream of people. We have to fight. But how and for what? And I think when they originally presented Tim Walz, it was like a gift to the left wing of the party, like to the Bernie AOC wing.
