Nancy Pelosi has been in that position the leader of the Democrats in the house for at least 16 years, right? and so that's a long time. And Hakeem Jeffries could be that guy for a long time. And you don't want him there if you get into a position where you have control of the Senate again. And you have a president because those bodies are actually moving more to the left. It seems to me at a pace that is faster than the house. And I don't know if you have that in your assessment as well. But the Senate you know 10 years ago was a much more conservative place for Democrats. Oh absolutely. I would argue even the presidency regardless of what's in their hearts or not Joe Biden his positions are to the left of Barack Obama's. It's not to be confused with him being you know AOC. But his positions are to the left because the Democratic party and the Democratic voters are to the left of where they were I think also 10 years ago. And the house does not necessarily reflect that in the same way. We're seeing the sort of the squad and Squad adjacent growing. But the center of the house still feels pretty conservative to me. Well, I think you're right. I hadn't thought about that. Actually, I hadn't really seen that sort of unique comparison of where the house is compared to where I think I agree with you about the party and very much about the Senate. I mean 10 years ago Joe Manchin would not have been alone out there there would have been a whole group standing behind him now there was some whispering in his ear some conservative Democrats and more conservative Democrats would be but they were upfront.
