Look, I'm an "electability" guy. I want the most electable presidential candidate running in the 2024 general election, and who I think that might be may change, and I will let you know because politicians are fungible. They are easily exchanged. I have no particular affection or loyalty for any of them unless they are retired or gone, like Ronald Reagan – I love me some Reagan. You know, Reagan was elected 43 years ago. If you go back to 1980, when Ronald Reagan was elected, and you go back 43 years, you're at 1937. You're Wendell Willkie-level-type stuff. That was a long time ago. Guys like me came up in the Reagan era, so we still have that Reagan mentality. In fact, a lot of our politicians still have that mentality. But it's a different time, folks! Learn what time it is! We have to change. We have to evolve. We have to grow. People say they want to get back to being the Party of Reagan. We are the Party of Reagan. We're also the Party of Abraham Lincoln and Calvin Coolidge. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. We are all those things, but we have to change. Ronald Reagan didn't have to fight a bunch of perverts in schools trying to sexualize kids.
