Well, it's going to win – it's going to be the person who can get 90 percent of Trump voters to be more interested in them than whoever the other Republican –

In many cases, that drives ideological extremism because you're already selecting a sample size of voters within the primary who are the most ideological extreme.

And so they're going to elect basically whoever it is because the general election is a foregone conclusion.

So if you can realign the electoral system in a way to where –

I mean, I don't know the answer to this, but it would be some kind of open primaries or ranked voting or proportional representation, ending gerrymandering, something like that.

Then you better incentivize congresspeople to actually want the job or incentivize people who would be good at the job to engage in the job or to become congresspeople because they actually have a clear path to doing it because they're not going to be blocked in the primary.

Right.

So some kind of reform like that, I think, is how you better facilitate this check between the different branches.

Yeah.

Well, getting maybe big money out of politics.

I'd take it.

They can fundraise.

Yeah.

That I mean, that makes me even more convinced, though, that a restructuring of the electoral system in a way that, you know, eliminates.

I don't know, that incentivizes basically better behavior, whether that's through open primaries, ranked choice voting, whatever.

That has to help in some way, I would think.

It's hard to be a lawyer.

I am kind of skeptical of a competency test in a sense, though, because someone has to write the test.

To be a judge.

Interesting.
