And I think that sentiment is how you get towards sanity.

And there's rumors that if Rahm was elected, he would have...

you know, Chris Christie as his attorney general, try to do a unity government kind of thing.

I think a lot of people would appreciate, particularly given how I think the Trump presidency gonna end, not just a return to normalcy, but a return to decency kind of thing.

And that was a winning message for George W. Bush at the end of the Clinton era.

And I have to imagine it could be an even more winning message at the end of the Trump era, but it takes the right kind of Democrat to carry it.

Yeah.

So let's just say without Trump, like doing legitimately crooked things, right?

Sending in National Guard or ICE agents.

Let's just assume he sits out of it for the most part.

Inconceivable, not inconceivable, but really unlikely that Democrats don't take back the House by a significant margin.

I know there aren't that many competitive seats left and all of that for the reasons that we sort of alluded to before.

But at the same time, you know, the historic average for a midterm election in a presidency, you know, is something like 26 seats, give or take.

I mean, it's a little sui generis because Trump, this is kind of a second term and it's kind of his second first term.

So, but in a first term, it's like 26 seats.

And

It's not entirely clear that the Republicans are going to hold on to the House majority by Election Day.

All you need is one dude to slip on a bar of soap or eat some bad clams and the Democrats are going to be a majority.

They're down to a one seat majority in the in the House.

The bigger question is the Senate.
