You're up there.

Can you go do something like they want to see reflected back to them?

This I keep kind of rejecting this fight that we have on Twitter about the Democratic Party need to be more moderate.

Does it need to be more progressive?

Like all the voters really want is for it to be more aggressive, right?

They could sort of take or leave which side of the ideological spectrum you're on as long as you are going in there and reflecting the anger and upsetness that they feel at what Trump is doing.

And when you're not doing that, they are mad, which is, I think, where you're getting sort of those Democratic numbers.

And I think, look, so much of this is just...

you gave me a body of the government and I think things are going terribly in the country.

And so I want to tell you that I think they're doing a terrible job because the country feels bad.

So I don't know that I, and just in terms of how it affects the midterms, people blame the party in power.

I mean, this is the only reason that I think Democrats can't pick up the kind of seats that they picked up in 2018 is because there's not enough seats available.

Like there's just, because it's so close right now, they can't pick up 40 seats, but like they can certainly take control.

Yeah.

And I think like, look, you can get a wave where you are picking up Trump plus seven districts, Trump plus eight districts.

I mean, that wave would have to be so big.

But you know what?

I'm not discounting it in part because—

Look, Democrats are extraordinarily motivated and Republicans are sucking wind.

So, okay.
