everybody in this field can complain. i can finish it. i asked this to kirstjen, i wanted to ask you, scott, do you think these candidates know, do you think the world knows how to campaign against donald trump from a republican standpoint? because i mean, mhere we are al these years later and we re still talking about should ron desantis directly attack him or not? we have a whole field of defeated candidates, jeb bush among them, marco rubio, who tried all different ways and none of them worked. no, i think all the republicans from 2016 forward are like the will smith character in i am legend kwtsz they re in the lab and testing all the serums out, and the rats keep dying. maybe, maybe ron desantis is the one to solve it, but we don t know yet. the theory he s going to test out is to put results up against rhetoric and put a younger generation up against an older generation. we haven t seen this particular
