Actually, two people said weak.
Now let's hear what they had to say about Republicans in one word.
Trump.
Weak.
Conservative.
Patriotic.
Loyal.
So they are swing voters.
And one of the features that we know about swing voters is they don't like either party.
That's why they swing.
Otherwise, they would just stick with their party.
But I think this shows you how sour the electorate is this year.
Well, my big takeaway was they are focused on the economy.
They feel that foreign policy and ICE is almost a distraction from what they care about.
They're not so happy about some of Trump's foreign policy, whether that will affect their vote.
We don't know.
We'll try to figure that out down the line.
But my takeaway is that they felt that Washington in general was not paying attention to what they care about.
I think that we did not see pushback against the general idea that undocumented immigrants who've committed crimes should be deported.
And we know that from polling.
