I think the Democratic party has become too much of a cosmopolitan, college educated party. It still advocates for working people, but it doesn't really communicate with them very well.
I think the darker interpretation of what we saw today is that they were setting up a pretext, he and the vice president for walking away from Ukraine and blaming Zelenskyy for it.
There's no doubt about that. But I also want to say this. You know, all presidents sort of feed off of perceptions of the person who came before and they want to position against what people found lacking in the person that came before.
If he does all of those things, God bless him, good for him and good for the country.
