But at least since 2016, the Twitter election, like, that has been true less, right? Yeah. So I think we need to be prepared to go everywhere. And that's always been my style. I mean, largely because I had to when I was first running for president. I would talk to anybody who would listen, which at first wasn't a lot of people, and I would go to any place that would have me.

But to go back a little bit in what I was saying, I do think we also need to revisit what it is we're offering. Because if it sounds like what we're offering is... Let's just go back. This isn't working out. Obviously, the terrorists are hurting people. He's consolidating absolute power. Like, lots of things are bad about this, which is true. Therefore, let's go back to that.
