So that's good.

But then the the thing that like in that poll that would worry me if I was Trump is 75 percent of voters say you're not focused enough on lowering prices.

Like that's that's bad.

Yeah, I just don't see a path.

Like I don't see a path to getting a win in this negotiation.

I think that's the hard part.

There's no end game that's clear here.

And like nut cutting time is coming on October 15th when 1.3 million members of the U.S.

military will miss a paycheck.

And November 1st is open enrollment for Obamacare.

So there's a bunch of like challenging moments where like this could really go from a thing that's like maybe you heard about on the news or saw on your TikTok to a thing that's like messing up your life and making you really mad.

I mean, the Democrats, you've talked about the kind of Gavin orbit.

They feel like they're winning the argument and that they're up, but they're very worried about voter suppression.

That could be like Trump messing with the postmaster general about mail-in ballots.

It could be intimidation at the voting booths.

The real X factor is...

There's a lawsuit in court right now challenging Texas' plan to redraw the maps, which is the reason GAAP is doing this in the first place.

There's a scenario where the plaintiffs win a first judgment in that lawsuit that will almost certainly be overturned, but kind of complicates the argument because it looks like maybe Texas won't go forward during the period where Californians are voting.

Hopefully no one pays attention to that really.

Well, yeah, it's just a way of saying- Call my bluff.
