>> it -- it -- because the democrats now see it as ms. bush did in the interview with you, as a binary choice. you are either voting for trump or you're voting for biden. that's really it. a lot of the left, in 2016, did take a walk. and i don't see that now. before the covid, i was out campaigning with a lot of these candidates. now, i do these zoom calls with them and talking to activists. nothing unites the people of earth like a threat from mars. and trump is a threat if mars. let him try that on joe biden from scranton, pennsylvania? really? they are going to call him some kind of crazy, lefty? and as a moderate, my hat is off to the left. my hat is off to cori bush and the rest of the left who are busting their tail for a guy who's probably their fourth or fifth choice. i am really impressed with how the left is conducting itself this year. >> so, you got bush and missouri. tlaib in michigan dawn ballot wins in st. louis. so if it's just binary. your party's changing. how does the party change with a guy who doesn't reflect the change? >
