And all of a sudden, Jessica, an issue that was mired in low single digits—illegal immigration, border security—mired in low single digits and trade in tariffs was hardly even an asterisk in our polling and everybody else's polling 10 years ago— An asterisk means less than 1% mentioned as most important problem.
10 years ago, right about now, when a guy named Donald J. Trump said, I'm going to run for president, but here's what I'm going to talk about.

So I feel like, again, talking about space and grace, people will give it. And if there are folks who are unfairly, unnecessarily swept up in some of this, they will...
