I think the Senate is important to him.
But yeah, having control of the party is important.
But here's the other thing that's going to be a big factor.
I think the Democrats are going to win the House by enough votes to be in firm control, probably eight to fifteen.
And I think they're going to increase their power in the Senate.
I'm not sure they're going to carry the Senate.
They could, which is amazing in itself with so many Republican seats up.
But then the nature of the political attention machine, the beam of sunlight that politicians thrive on, is gonna move to the future.
Trump will still be a big factor and he'll force himself in the news cycle, but there's gonna be a lot of Rubio or Vance or who's this pretty new Republican and Trump's not gonna take that well.
You know, there's only one star in this movie.
I remember I was a Russian area studies guy at uh at Georgetown and back in the Cold War, and that's how old I am.
Well, the end of the Cold War, early 80s.
And there was a great old joke about two Russian generals during World War II walking to the or go walking to the Kremlin, Igor and Boris.
And Igor says, Boris, you look so sad.
And Boris says, Igor, I got a big battle with the Yermister mouth.
If I lose, Donald's gonna shoot me.
And Igor says, Boris, if you win, he's going to shoot you and your family.
There's only one hero in the Soviet Union.
And that's going to be the problem all these Republicans have next year when the sunshine is going to move to them in the future, and Trump is going to hate it.
Oh, I'd love to.
