They won't criticize him.

But I mean, A, we don't want to be them.

That's why I left them.

Right.

So, OK.

But also, you shouldn't have a false view of how Trump's success work.

Trump's success literally did work by having a full frontal assault on the establishment of an unpopular establishment of the Republican Party.

Right.

And so maybe there's something to learn from that.

Absolutely.

Like basically all the two term presidents except W who like lost the popular vote.

One of the lines in the op-ed that got a little buzz was that people running in 26 should call for new leadership and say that if elected, they won't support the current crop.

Some of the Democratic Congress people did not like that too much.

Brenda Boyle, friend of the show, he said that this is bizarre.

House Dems under Jeffries have made Trump's beautiful bill the most unpopular bill ever polled and are now heavy favorites to win the House, et cetera, et cetera.

So what do you make of that?

But do you think they should actually change their leadership then?

Or is it just a campaign tactic?

I think the kind of the defense of Jeffries from Boyle, like anytime there's defense of these guys, it's an inside game defense.

I think my point is like in this day and age, you know, party leaders have a job to do, which is, you know, in part the behind the scenes, keeping the coalition together, which Jeffries has been good at.
