And they're also just, as we say, the higher prop party right now. They get more meaning out of politics. They invest more of themselves into politics. They're more likely to track every single race, however obscure it is. They're going to be able to pick up one point, it looks like. And we've got to...

They've also dialed Milwaukee back to 50%, whereas it was over 60% before. So that's not great. Not good. Yeah. That's not helpful. Dane is 55. So you're looking at about half of the vote in both those places. And I'll be honest, we're running a bit behind where we were in those counties a few months ago.

Sure, sure. So especially as we've been saying, this is it's a reflection that we have to be ready for races where Donald Trump isn't on the ballot. I know we've you know, he's been talking about finding a way to go for a third term.

But I will tell you, even if they find a way, it won't be with Trump as the number one guy on the ballot, because that is definitely constitutionally out of the picture. So you're going to have to have someone we have to start.

We have to develop the strategy for winning a post-Trump GOP on a Trumpian message, we hope, on a Trumpian platform, but there's clearly a singular charisma to Donald Trump that drives turnout, that really inspires people. And we haven't seen it pan out that without that, you can muster a nationwide majority. We can still win races. We can still do very well at the state level.

It's often a bad thing that a person cares obsessively about politics. We have people who care a lot about their church. They care a lot about their civic organizations. They care a lot about their families. All of us have finite amounts of attention.
