00:00questions out there? Yes. Say it again.

00:21Oh I mean look those are so overwhelmingly Republican districts

00:26that I think it's physically impossible for someone as long as you put an R by

00:31your name to not win. Now look I mean you know Jimmy's a friend of mine I mean I

00:34know he's gonna do people like him he's gonna do really well you know some of

00:38these others may may may not as well. The point I've just made though in CD 6 is

00:42what the what the political media is gonna do if there's an under

00:46performance I don't think there can be a loss but if there's an under

00:48performance there's a lot of people are predicting I think Trump won it by 30 I

00:53think I want it by like 35 or something or 37 if there's an under performance

00:57they're gonna say see it shows the voters are rejecting it has nothing to

01:02do with that. This is a rejection of the specific candidate among some voters who

01:06either choose not to vote maybe even vote third party I don't know how many

01:10Republicans would actually cross over and vote for a lunatic Democrat but I do

01:14think that it's just added to the mix of of issues but I think it's almost all

01:19local. Remember he's not from that district he looks like 150 miles away

01:24and it's just different so I would just caution people regardless of the

01:30performance if there is an under performance and maybe there won't be who

01:33knows but if there is I think it's wrong I mean you can quibble with Trump

01:38endorsing or not but that's a separate question from why are the voters

01:42reacting the way they do if there's an under performance and I think it's going

01:45to be more of a local reason I think it's going to be more of a candidate

01:48specific reason I don't think if there's an under performance that that's

01:52a referendum on the president I think the president was on the ballot I think

01:55he would win by 30 again
