But to win in Iowa, yet you are going to have Democratic turnout.
Here's how I look at the electorate.
Democrats are mad at what Donald Trump's doing and mad that he's getting away with it.
Independent voters are uncomfortable.
They made a Faustian bargain.
They didn't like Donald Trump personally.
They were uncomfortable with him, but they thought they were going to get economics out of it.
They've gotten neither the economics and they've gotten all the personality.
And so they're furious.
They're uncomfortable with a rubber stamp Republican Congress.
I happen to think Republican MAGA voters, as seen by Marjorie Taylor Greene, seen by Joan Rogan, feel betrayed.
A different emotion.
There are three distinct emotions in this electorate.
Anger among Democrats, uncomfortable and disquieted and discomfort among independents, betrayal among MAGA voters.
And Democrats' focus is on their base, which we're going to turn out because they want to send a message.
win the hearts and minds of the unaffiliated voters, and that's your ticket to a majority.
Well, one, you know, the closer you get to where people live their lives, the more energized they are.
Nothing's more energizing than school boards.
Number two, not just school boards, but I'm saying anything that gets close to theβ I used to have a rule when I was mayor.
You better be very smart and strategic about it.
