They were not, you know, the media, the mainstream media was more obsessed with Bernie and Warren and even Buttigieg to an extent.

I mean, Elizabeth Warren got third in her home state of Massachusetts.

Bernie really ran for president twice now and couldn't make the case himself for president to Democratic voters in a national competitive primary.

So it just feels to me, based on voting behavior across the country in these primaries and the way Democrats set them up,

that the silent majority of actual democratic primary voters really aren't all that interested in what the left is offering uh that just hasn't been the case so far who knows maybe that changes in 2024 it just hasn't been the case yet so um

I'm interested to see if that happens.

I don't think it will.

I also think, as you mentioned, we got to figure out and we'll know in a couple of weeks where we are in Michigan, where this platinum Mamdani experiment goes in Maine.

And we'll certainly see how the Mamdani experiment goes in Maine by November.

And I think at that point, we're going to have a better idea on how that wing of the party is going to fare.

And by the way, I bet that doesn't change.

And I think that's the uniqueness of Maine.

Keep in mind, Maine is the oldest state in the country by medium age.

You know, it was really funny hearing a credible, you know, sort of legacy mainstream reporter who was telling me he was up there talking to this Democratic voter, more of a Bernie bro kind of grandma, as she called herself.

loves Bernie, but not an election that goes by where she will not vote for Susan Collins.

She is Susan Collins all the way.

That woman could do no wrong.

And that sort of explains the gap.

The Biden-Collins voter, nine points in 2020,

that was impossible to poll accurately.
