But I think what people want is a reason to trust it's going to be different next time.

I think a lot of people really want to believe and really want to support these campaigns,

but they're not going to do it in a Charlie Brown and the football way.

So they want to know, okay, at very least you're going to be openly oppositional to the democratic

party. You're willing to say, I'm not going to be in the need of Nancy Pelosi that we have

a certain amount of power here. We'll see what happens if we even keep the house.

But we have a certain amount of power here and you need our votes and you have to earn them.

They want you to be willing to say, I buck the establishment the same way that some of these

right wing loons are willing to be oppositional to the establishment of the Republican party.

And frankly, generate a lot of energy and enthusiasm and dynamism in the Republican party that

just doesn't exist right now among Democrats to your point about the low turnout in your district.

You know, it's always a risk to be so openly hostile. We saw how Senator Turner got hit hard with

those half a bowl of shit comments, but I would argue that that's going to happen no matter what

anti-dying thing you said that was vaguely critical of the democratic party and that there's an

enormous amount of power in your true base in terms of fundraising power and in terms of people

who are actually willing to come out and knock doors for you and come out and vote.

If you feed the base and I think the base wants some proof, some demonstration that when there's

a $40 billion vote that comes down the pike or an iron dome vote or force the vote vote,

that you're going to actually be someone who behaves differently than some of the squad members

have behaved already and who is willing to make the establishment uncomfortable.

Well, for me, again, I go back to I'm not in running this because I've always dreamed of being

a politician or it is comes from a place of drive and comes from a place of personal experience
