now that they don't have the expectation that they've got to plan four hours in advance to get to the airport.

But it's a big deal to people.

I think everything is geared from that lens.

How can we get back in power?

And so I think based on that, they're going to resist everything Trump does.

They're going to try and paint it all as horrible no matter what he does.

Even if it is an 80 20 issue that everybody else agrees with, they're going to try and say, look at the 20%, look at the, you know, look at the bad part.

Um, and they're going to try and, um, find any way they can to, um,

convince people to vote for them.

But I think they do it in a very misguided way because I think they're mostly just pandering to their base.

And by their base, I mean the fringe left.

They keep shifting further left because that seems to be the ones that are most rabidly opposed to Trump and most aligned with all the arguments they end up coming up with.

to say, oh, look how horrible Trump is and look how everything he does is bad.

The moderates, they're not

They're not appealing to those people from what I can tell.

It doesn't seem like they really understand or they're not very smart about saying, you know what, we need to shift towards the center.

We need to connect with the people that would otherwise vote for Trump and might be convinced not to.

In the midterms, of course, it's more about Congress, but the same concept applies.

Of course, Trump still dominates all the headlines every day.

It's going to be part of the equation there.
