This week, im reminded why a Record Number of americans turned out to vote for donald trump in november. Tens and thousands of people would show up at his rallies and wait for f hours in the extreme heat and bitter cold, stuck with him during sham impeachments in the mueller a investigations . They did all of this because to them he was the last thing standing between their families and the left wing mob.

Three months out. If you had to pick a hand to play right now, would you rather be in the position of democrats or republicans . I think i would rather be in the position of democrats.

That we
All of this and obama team support continues to be lukewarm to downright cold. Last night former White House Communications director chimed in about bidens frequent mention of his friendship with the former president. He said it best, when Barack Barack thats exactly what barack and i talked about. The thing barack and i have talked about. If it was possible to transfer support from an endorsement or a friendship, Hillary Clinton would be president. Martha outs. Michelle obama and David Axelrod have been negative too noncommittal, respectively, and a former obama staffer is less than impressed with former Vice President. I think everyone is expecting bigger fundraising numbers from him. I think hes in trouble with these numbers. Martha s or all that and then look at this.
