We want that to be an eight-point loss instead of a 37-point loss.

And if we can pull it by 30 points like we've pulled other seats by 30-plus points, that is a massive win.

That is what matters.

And that then resets the narrative to...

Republicans need to defend anywhere where they're not ahead by more than 20 points.

And that is a fucking disaster for the Republican Party and the House and the Senate especially.

Yeah.

i think they're gonna let the house cards fall where they may yeah yeah there's no way i mean come on they know they know they are absolutely fucked if they're gonna lose the house by 30 or 40 seats like the house is they're piling up uh they're piling up more more retirements every day uh kevin kiley i think his name is from california just california from republican to independent he said well i'm still gonna caucus with the republicans i'm like so what's the point of this but

He's another guy who's retiring who might not live.

He's very ill and he might not live until the next Congress is sworn in.

Oh, who's that?

I think he's from Florida.

He's an older guy.

Of course he is.

Of course.

And Mike Johnson is begging him not to retire early.

I'm like, this guy's probably he probably has less than 12 months on the planet.

And Mike Johnson wants him to stay in the House so that Mike Johnson doesn't literally lose the gavel before the next Congress is sworn in.

He loses two or three seats.

they, they, it automatically triggers a vote for a new speaker of the house.
