And so I look at the coalition that Trump has built, and I think, where is the pickup?
If you're setting a stereo, where exactly is the factor?
Where's the base?
Where do you ramp up the treble?
Where exactly does he ramp it up?
And when I look at Rubio, I know exactly where he loses some of Trump's coalition, like blue collar white voters probably won't vote as much for Marco Rubio.
But does he do better than Trump did with Hispanics?
That's possible.
Does he do better with college educated whites than Trump did?
That's certainly possible.
Will he do better with women than President Trump did?
That's possible, too.
Now, none of that's a guarantee.
But that at least is sort of an interesting thought as far as what does a future post-Trump coalition look like?
Because people tend to think of post-Trump politicians, but every politician's got their own coalition.
The Bush coalition was not exactly the Trump coalition.
Bush had the soccer moms, Trump really didn't.
So what exactly does the Vance coalition look like?
A victorious Vance coalition?
And I know, Michael, you're a big fan of sort of the Vance Coalition vision, so I'll let you take that.
