They got to be in the right place, because if you're not in the right space, then you get shunned. And, you know, some people care about that. You know, it's not anything I've ever cared much about. And then there's the threat of the primaries, of course. And so if I go my own way and I start. Remember what was really crazy?
You remember when Chris Christie hugged Obama because Obama brought all that money to New Jersey after the terrible storm?

You know, Chuck, I think what it gets down to is people would rather have, we all would rather have an easy road than a hard road. And it's just easier to be part of that group. It's easier to win re-election without a primary. It's just easier. And I just don't think easier is good in life. I mean, we'd all want easier, but we know that difficult has made us better.

And the parties had to keep track of how it was used. Now, I don't know how much it would change with where the political parties are today, because most of the people running the political parties kind of have this mindset as well. But it gives you a greater chance. I think to bring about reforms. Everybody talks about redistricting and all that.

I think this is a really significant thing because there's no screening process anymore. And people would say, well, that's not open. You know, the party bosses, you know, when you have adults who are trying to decide who's fit to represent people and who's not. I think that's probably necessary today. We certainly need to need to reflect on it for sure. No, that's true.

I want you to dig into something that you said. One other thing, Chuck. I know this is the way it always is with you and me. You keep interrupting. I keep interrupting you. But vice versa. But, you know, the book Heaven Help Us is about courage and it's about faith in something greater than ourselves. And if all you care about is what's in it for myself. Then you fall short.

But if all of a sudden you show courage and you go your own way, you know, it's fantastic. And life is so short and your ability to make an impact is so short that don't blow it. And without faith in a higher power that looks after us, that's a contributor to why people can have more courage, in my opinion.
