I might say just one footnote, Anderson. I do think that President Trump deserves some credit for how he's been handling this over the last few days. He's been very positive. He hasn't been snarky.
David Gergen acknowledges President Trump's behavior during the funeral events, suggesting he has been respectful.

If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
The midterms really helped him. They transformed the race, best midterm elections for any president in 20 years.
If he had a receptive audience, and I will tell you, when everything -- when all the facts were to come out, it would be like Nixon and the tapes.
I think a lot of Americans do see it as disqualifying. And they're worried about it.
