r, including the coronavirus. It's called the simultaneous sip. Go. Every time I use that little Trump phrase I always smile to myself because it's so effective. You know when Trump brands something or puts a nickname on it, he uses this phrase. He goes, it's called the simultaneous sip. Yeah, as if he's not the

All right. Well, it looks like in a new poll the voters who are quote unquote enthusiastic, not just supporting but enthusiastic supporters of Joe Biden, 24 percent. 24 percent of Joe Biden supporters are enthusiastic about it. To which I said to myself, really? Really? If I were to dig into these numbers a little bit, maybe get the name of one of these enthusiastic voters, drove over to that enthusiastic voter's house and said, you recently answered a poll question and you're in the 24 percent of people who say you're enthusiastic.
