And Marco has committed to the idea that he's not going to run against J.D.

But I don't think that that's quite accurate in the depiction of what Trump has said about J.D.

or Rubio.

He said, I like both these guys.

He says, I like both these guys.

And then he's apparently been pulling rooms of donors as to which one people like better.

And a lot of the donors seem to like Rubio better.

And I think there are some reasons for that, including kind of JD's affect.

I think also including the sort of political coalition building.

And here I want to kind of shift the conversation into...

a prudential one, which is which one of these candidates, if you had to choose, right?

Assume both of them were running.

They're not.

But assume both of them were running for a second.

Which one is likely to build a successful coalition?

I want to get to that in just one second.

First, guys, we have to talk about sleeping because honestly, after this, we're all going to need to, you know, lie down.

This is this is this has been extraordinarily stressful, I think, for the audience, for us, for Michael is the one time I've ever felt bad for Michael, frankly.

What do you feel bad for me for?
