And what I'm really tired of seeing, and one of the things that the top two system in California does well, is that it makes sure that the winner has 50 plus one. Right. And What we see too often is that we see candidates who don't get 50% of the popular vote get into office. And Donald Trump was one example of this. George W. Bush was another example of this. And I think if you can't get 50 plus 1% of people to vote for you, you shouldn't be in office. (17:01–17:09)
