Paul welcome to the journal editorial report. President biden and donald trump secure the delegates needed to clinch their partys nomination setting the stage for the first president ial rematch since 1956, most americans dont want that. Following the state of the Union Address President Biden has been barnstorming battleground states in pennsylvania, georgia, wisconsin, and michigan which were crucial to his victory but polls show the president narrowly trailing donald trump in those states which can he turn that around as the general Election Campaign kicks off . Lets go to doug showing. The initial polling after the State Of The Union suggests the president has not received a bump in his Approval Rating despite the fact so Many Democrats love that speech. Are you surprised . Not surprised. The speech was directed almost exclusively at democrats and to show that his cognitive issues as described by Special Counsel and others are not an issue. He wasnt really trying to change his Appr
Or easy. But im confident that we can and will working closely with our allies and partners. Welcome to the journal editorial report. Im paul gigot. That was president obama saying his Foreign Policy team wassing working on a range of options but backing off reports they were close to a decision authorizing air strikes against the islamic extremists in syria. My guests say a plan to take on isis is needed now more than ever and believes american Led Coalition can still successfully defeat the terror group. Jack keen is the former vils chief of staff of the u. S. Army and a fox news military analyst. General, welcome to the program. Glad to be here, paul. So how formidable a military force is isis compared to the guerrillas we defeated during the surge in iraq in 2007 . Well, theyre quite formable. They operate very differently. They began activities in iraq in 2009 and 2010, much as weve seen before as a terrorist activity. Right. But when they moved to syria, they grew in size and sca
Me im going to say great things about him me is a leader. You can say isnt that a terrible thing . Very strong control over a country. Now its a very different season and i dont know to like the system but certainly in that system hes been a leader. For more than our president has been a leader.

Dan, it seems to me the core argument that Hillary Clinton is trying to make here is that donald trump is unfit to be commander in chief, leading military forces, making life and death decisions.

Voters blamed republicans and him for the shutdown it was hurting their Approval Rating and you are doing damage. To the economy. You saw the consequences of the shutdown really start to ratchet up.
