go ahead. well look. we didn t know that donald trump would leave the republican party two and a half years ago, and look what happened. we never knew that barack obama would lead the democratic party in the midterms of 2006 and the democrats what the power in 2006. the republicans swept the power in 2010 with the tea party movement that had nothing to do with one individual republican and i truly believe that in this midterm election, you will see the democrats make great waves, not because of some big national leader that they pick but becaus individ running in races are going to show how the trump agenda is not doing what he promised. and also, remember this. a lot of people who support donald trump, even if they like hiright now, there sood tage ofeople who still don t trust him and want to see congress that will put a proper check on him and that s what they will vote for in november. laura: and frank? your introduction is a best one that i have seen. you doven need u
