I don't think so, no.
I was actually on his campaign.
You were on the Ted Cruz campaign?
I don't know if I was on the campaign, but I door knocked in a little village in Chicago in McKinley Park for Ted Cruz.
In the Illinois primary.
Did he write you a thank you note?
No, I didn't get a thank you.
He lost, so I guess.
I, like everybody else in 2016, went through this ideological awakening.
And first I shifted to Trump.
And the first realization that I had is it started in 2016, actually, because the primaries, you know, started in 15, around April or May, I think, were the first announcements.
Yeah, yeah.
And I had very negative feelings about Trump.
And like I said, pro Rand Paul, pro Cruz.
But when the actual Iowa caucus happened and the primaries began, I saw that Trump was dominating.
And every night in the Super Tuesday, when they had all the big contests, one after the other, I remember the media was furious that he was winning one after the other.
And I remember thinking to myself, like structurally, if I'm a libertarian or a conservative and we want to change the country, we have to win elections.
If you want to win elections, you have to bypass the media.
