only the re-elect the 40% re-elect, there are a lot of states where donald trump is doing extraordinarily well. in the deep south and in some of the plains states but that re-elect is far lower in michigan. it was in the low 30s last time i checked. and wisconsin, low 30s. pennsylvania, low 30s. he s upside down in those states. according to fox news, upside down in all of those states and is getting getting beaten very badly by bernie sanders. yeah. professed socialist. so he has a long way to go and again the most important thing, mika, we were talking about this while you were scaling mount kilimanjaro, the most important thing to remember is again, he s got a really strong economy going right now. even with the strong economy, he s really struggling. so that can you imagine what would happen to those numbers if the economy took a
