Yeah, I think that's good. Yeah, and look, and I appreciate, I think we're gonna be in hard places and I think we're gonna get punched from both sides doing some of this, but we're not in this to, like I said, we're not banking political capital to win another election. We're trying to improve people's lives.

And half the students didn't do very well on it. Well, I don't assume that those half are terrible kids. I assume that they have a different learning style or they weren't hearing the way I was teaching it. Maybe these folks were, you know, verbal learners. Maybe they were kinesthetic learners, whatever it might be.

I think we have to approach the electorate like that, that we think we're telling them where we're at. But for whatever reason, you're right. And this pains me. I tried to make the case. Look.

And I will have to tell you, one of the most powerful ones for me, Gavin, it's not a great use of campaign time, but we were up in Erie, Pennsylvania on Halloween before the election.
