So that's how candidates are getting around this.

They're saying, well, whatever I said in the past, YOLO, you know, I was being authentic in my youth.

And that put that down to youth and indiscretion.

And it just makes me human.

I think you're going to see an awful lot of that, by the way, in this area of social media, where people have to disavow things they've said in the past in social media.

But I think you're right.

10 years ago, you wouldn't have got away with this.

I think it's going to be very interesting to see who wins.

Who are the types of candidates who win from the Democratic Party in this midterm election?
