And I think that they are detaching themselves from the mainstream of political debate by being so consumed about what's being said at a turning point convention or what's being said on a Megyn Kelly podcast or any of this stuff.

And like how I think the Democrats got consumed with appeasing progressive groups and social justice groups at the expense of alienating swing voters in the suburbs and the exurbs.

I think you're seeing the same thing start to take place on the right.

But make no mistake, the Democrats also, there's a chance they're having their own Tea Party moment.

And, you know, the 2010 midterms for Republicans were a huge success on the House side of things, but they came up short in Senate races because of their own infighting.

They had primary challenges.

They had sort of this this Tea Party surge, which sort of was sort of MAGA before we were calling it MAGA, was challenging the establishment wing of the Republican Party.

And it upset, you know, you had the witch nominee, you know, at one point you had the

Bad nominee in Indiana, you had the bad nominee in Nevada against Harry Reid, right?

You had all those things, both in the 10 cycle and the 12 cycle, which held them back.

You can't help but wonder if the Democrats are going through the same thing that they have, you know, the quote, is there a liberal Tea Party moment happening?

Right.

It's a little cliche to say it that way, but there's definitely something there's something happening here.

Right.

The establishment of the Democratic Party doesn't have a lot of credibility with Democratic voters right now, doesn't have a lot of credibility with Democratic donors right now.

And that's leading to what appears to be some terrible primaries.

That are probably going to nominate less electable nominees, whether it's Texas Senate, Michigan Senate, Maine Senate.

Those would be catastrophic.

Right.

And you could you could see Democrats end up in a similar situation that Republicans were in 2010.
