2. And Team Pachyderm built that base, Bob. The whole lot of you.

Feeding those tribal impulses was the Republican road to power, Bob. You guys squeezed out any moderating voices who cared about things besides whose team you're on.

It's been going on for your entire career Bob. What have you done to fight it?
