And he gave the speeches that certain the way his rhetoric had to change.
that he gave a speech, a famous speech with red behind him called the Philadelphia speech.
And I specifically was arguing for a different approach.

Their rhetoric was let's bring down the temperature overall.
And in our data, what we were tracking with our surveys is it actually was coming down over.
