Well, we're going to find out two things.
That's very interesting.
One is we always say we want to be a Big Ten party.
We're going to see who in the party thinks that.
So there's going to be that.
And two is, I don't think the party, my party's fully appreciated that almost 50% of the country is not in a party.
The fastest growing party is unaffiliated, independent, whatever.
And then second, contrary to,
to popular view that somehow if you use a little smelling salts, the New Deal coalition will just pop up out of nowhere.
Again, in fact, what Trump showed you is coalitions are forming and shaping in real time.
And you've got to make a decision, in my view, that is what I argued in the journal piece.
The unaffiliated voters, which are now 45% and growing,
That's your majority.
Now, you can decide to go get that majority and not make it electorally transactional, but make it transformational, or you can decide not to.
And I think these guys moving over is a window both to the unaffiliated and soft Republicans that we can be something bigger.
And so I'd keep my eyes, Georgia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
That's my three states.
That was my reason.
The three states to keep your eye on are those three states for the long, for the 2020, 2032 and beyond.
Well, you had a big primary in New Jersey for governor.
