Hey, this is Trey, thank you for joining us for a Thursday edition as we creep our

way through September. I guess we are almost on the doorstep. I see we are on the doorstep of autumn

or fall as some people call it. One of my favorite times of the year may be my favorite time of the

year. Mary Langston, how about you? How's your summer coming to an end? It's going great. We watched

some tennis this past weekend and it was incredible to watch. I'm also excited about autumn. I think

it's my favorite too. I mean, I love the warm weather, but in the south, I think it's so humid,

so I'm ready for a little bit of, you know, that 70 degree weather. Yeah, and that is, um,

questions. You're always so thoughtful. We'll start with a question from Nancy on Twitter.

And she writes, do the majority of voters just always vote party and not candidate policies?

Nancy, that's a fascinating question. Party identification is really, really strong, especially now,

perhaps it always was. I don't, well, I mean, there used to be an expression that I would hear

when I was a kid. I think I heard my dad. And one other gentleman referred to a yellow dog

Democrat. And what that meant was that person would vote Democrat, even if the candidate was a

yellow dog. And it's true on the other side too. Republicans, I can't tell you the number of time.
