It's not the greatest, but like, yeah, $16 million in a district like that is not an expensive media market.
And to lose by 31 points just shows some of these districts are just very, very difficult.
It would be like a Republican beating, winning the Jerry Nadler seat on the upper West side in New York city, which is like as deep blue as it possibly could get.
Yeah.
It's kind of funny.
Cause there was a former Republican running in that race, but, um,
That is was really my only point is that like we should we should fund candidates everywhere.
But like we also should be realistic.
And, you know, I was saying, like, if you only have twenty five dollars to spend in this election, I wouldn't put that twenty five dollars in that Marjorie Taylor Greene district.
I would put it in a place that's at least a Republican plus 15 or lower, because those are the people like if we get if we win plus 15s, that's a 40, 50, 60 vote.
If we win plus 37, there's basically no Republicans left in Congress, which is just not like I think the difference is, though, that dollars aren't votes.
Yeah.
I mean, I think your point about lifting all boats makes sense.
Like if the Democrat were.
So there has been two general elections in that district where Democrats lost or got into the 30 percentage, the 30 to 40 percent range twice.
This was special election would be the third time he got 37 percent of the vote yesterday.
Right.
If Democrats get 37 percent of the vote in that district in November, John Ossoff wins that race.
So in that those those cases, that's exactly what you said.
Like in the closing, the gap stuff, it totally makes sense, because if you have someone you believe in and maybe you don't really care about the top of the ticket, but you know this guy, maybe you show up and then you just check all the D's, which is generally how people vote.
