Yeah. It is an election year as you know. And in the midterms people judge often the party by its President. But what are you hearing when it comes to Democrats? A couple of things for Democrats, a couple of challenges, if you will. First, does their party convince its voters that they have an effective way to challenge Donald Trump, which their voters want them to do. Right now, and increasingly, those voters say, no, they don't think their party has an effective way. The second part of it is just in terms of approach, do they need to alter-- offer a compelling alternative to the President? Right now, you ask, who has the better approach? Donald Trump and the Republicans still lead the Democrats on the economy and on immigration. So going through the campaign, is it going to be enough to just say we're not Donald Trump or do they need that alternative? It looks like people are saying they're looking for that compelling alternative. Something we will ask our guests. Thank you very much, Anthony Salvanto.
