But my point is folks have to think in broad terms quickly. You've got enormous numbers of people who are getting pauperized, and they're going to have to sort of reassure folks who are afraid. I mean, the whole upper-middle-class vote that turned so heavily [against Trump]: that's a place where I think you can see some change. Not an enormous one. It's pretty small. But it mattered against Trump. And they're concerned about Covid, I think, as much as anything else. I mean, basically, Biden was sort of a very reassuring teddy bear for folks who were anti-Trump. With Bernie Sanders there, I'm not sure what would have happened. I was a strong Sanders supporter. But I also wonder about all these business execs who in the last few weeks urged a peaceful transition and told Trump to go home to Florida.
