These are people coming from the far left.
They're not Democrats.
They are Democratic Socialists.
They are DSA.
They are the Democratic Socialists of America, which if you go to the DSA's website, calls itself the largest socialist organization in the United States.
They're running as Democrats to transform an Obama term, fundamentally transform the Democratic Party from within.
So, they've been successful lately, maybe even more so than the Democrats, in that sense, the kind of farther left.
But I'm getting a little bit off subject from your question.
I would expect the Republicans in the midterm to lose seats, because that's just simply what happens in midterms for the party in the presidency.
It's only a question of how much, and we'll have to wait and see.
Yeah, a lot of it might be messaging.
And in fact, this circles back to our original point about no kings.
Trump can't even abolish the Department of Education, right?
Because Congress has veto power.
If Trump was a king, he'd be able to do all the things that he wants to do.
And when you're talking about executive orders, I mean, no one did executive orders like FDR.
I mean, you could have probably thrown the term King FDR more at FDR than you could have at Donald Trump.
Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, yeah, these guysโJoe Biden, right?
Obama.
These guys were masters of the executive order.
