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.
this is another norm that's just going by the wayside in the era of Trump. But, I don't think it has particular meaning.
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 Democrats would be very foolish to go all Marjorie Taylor Greene here and WWE stuff and so on. I think they should respond. But I don't think they should, you know, heckle and do the kinds of things that some have talked about.
