if you looked out the right side of the plane, you would look over the potomac live, you saw a lot of small, nondescript monuments arranged neatly over rolling hills in a place called arlington national cemetery. if you don t have people that are willing throughout our history to stand up, i put on that uniform, risk their lives and in many instances give that last full measure of devotion, then it isn t going to amount to very much. we must fight the good fight, we must finish the race also supposed to be in iowa today for if a massive rally postponed it about an hour ago. he s still posting his campaign message on truth we ve got to make sure we have a great election. we ve got to win big, and we re leading crooked joe biden by a lot, a lot. the polls are showing we re 7 points up, 8 points, 9 points and even 11 points in one instance. let s keep it that way. our very own alexis mcadams is live in hinton, iowa. what have you got for us? reporter: we were expecting to
