People our age can look back and say, oh, these are Trump is anathema to the Republican Party.

But I listen to 25-year-olds and 30-year-olds all the time.

And Trump has been the Republican Party for – or at least Trump has been on the political scene for as long as they've been around.

He's not anathema to them in politics.

He's this thing that has existed.

And so they think this is what politics is.

And the last thing, though, just for the good news, because this is what you really wanted, which is like –

Yay!

I do think Democrats are going into a strong midterm for them.

Two things on that.

One is, though, unlike 2018, which was the first time I ever rooted for Democrats in my life, they won like 40 seats because there were a lot of seats that were up for grabs.

There is many fewer competitive seats this time around.

And so like that kind of a pickup.

But I do think the Mary Peltola get in Alaska as well as Sherrod Brown.

Like you are starting to see a possibility of a Senate map in a wave election where Democrats could get both the Senate and the House because they're going to win the House.

It's just a matter of by how much like what is the level of repudiation.

But my one caution on this is.

This is the normal ebb and flow of politics, right?

Party in power.

It's annoying.
