Morning. How are you . Good, dan. Things must be getting hot and heavy in arizona. They are. We are looking at donald trump visiting today. Our state is not a swing state or bubble state, something to keep in mind, something on the radar. As far as the Vice President its kind of a pink state. I think thats good. Maybe pink, so on the radar of these politicians. As far as the what can we expect them to say . Oftentimes we see them as a check or balance to the candidate themselves. What do you think theyll say . I think they will each go after the other ones top of the ticket. I think tim kaine is likely to bring up all the events of the past week, in terms of trump and Miss Universe and his taxes clintons problems with emails and her foundation and benghazi. So i think youll see each of them attack the others president ial candidate. But theres a moderator and both of these men have records, they have both been governors and both been in congress. I suspect they will have a certain amount of defending their own records to deal with, particularly on social we didnt hear anything about abortion or gay marriage or religious freedom restoration legislation in those last debates. I suspect in this one well hear about those things. Based on the fact that not a lot of americans even know who these candidates are, does it really matter . Do these debates have that much pull as far as where voters go normally, absolutely not. But this year is different. Not only are both candidates roundly disliked by the american public, who may be looking at the Vice President candidates and looking for something to like, but also these are the two oldest president ial candidates we have ever had. Trump would be our oldest president , clinton our second so theres a double reason to pay closer attention to these Vice President ial candidates.
