choice of religion. It's more about can we be sure. People would have their doubts. Basically about whether America First really meant America First, and they wouldn't know. Now I have no reason to think he's anything but America first, so let me be clear about that. But the public would probably have their questions, so yeah, that might be a problem running for a national office.

I think we need to get there, you know, the same reason I thought that electing Obama was a good step for America, regardless of how you think he governed. That's a separate question, but I felt it was healthy for us to just get over it. I think it was healthy to get over Kennedy being Catholic. It's better to just go right at it. I think it was healthy that Hillary Clinton was the nominee and Kamala Harris was a nominee and they got close. Even not winning felt like, hey, that's the America I want to live in, where everybody gets a shot. So yeah, I think it'd be good for the country just to have somebody getting close to office even if they didn't win.

All right. Here are some other people that the Democrats have. According to CNN, AOC is seen as the leader of the Democratic Party with Kamala Harris as a close second. And of course there's Jasmine Crockett, who's making a lot of noise on TV. And Rasmussen was talking about how lame the Democrat leadership is. He says that only AOC and Bernie Sanders can get a crowd of 20 people to show up. Now that's an exaggeration but not a big one. It's an excellent point. But just think about the people who are the leaders, from Chuck Schumer to AOC, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi. Why can I never remember the minority leader? What's his name? What's the minority leader's name? Why can't I remember them anyway? So yeah, they have a real problem.

But it seems to me that they've also painted themselves in a corner. Hakeem Jeffries. Thank you. And Hakeem Jeffries has an unfortunate vibe problem. I'm sure he's very smart or he wouldn't be in his position, but there's just something about his persona that just reeks of I don't trust you. It's the darnedest thing. You'd have to try pretty hard to look untrustworthy every single time you talked. Yeah, he's got that movie character look that says okay, you could play a bad guy in this movie. And I don't know how to fix that. That doesn't seem fixable by just smiling more. So they don't really
