1. 78 trillion equals 57 billion per trading day for 2016 so far. Today, how do you see it . When you put it that way, its painful. You cant get excited about today. When you look just this week, the markets are still down around 4. 5 . I think investors were tired of the selling. So overtold fire sale. We heard a lot of those phrases. But then you also had news out of opec talking about doing production cuts. That gave a nice boost to the price of oil. And we started off with decent economic news.

And so now more to the northern part of the state and what she was saying is hes a single issue candidate and all he wants to talk about is beating occupy wall street, the middle class,
David duke. Leading up to our question about your thoughts on the tone of the campaign, what do you think about it so far . Perhaps its a pacific topic and endorsement specific topic and endorsement. Republicans, you can dial in. You can post on our twitter page and our Facebook Page as well. The lead story in the Washington Post is about donald trump. Some of theturing tone of the campaign a season so far. Racial overtones and grew uglier on sunday. It goes on to say that trump had disavowed duke on friday. He stammered on sunday. Marco rubio responded by saying it made him unelectable. Thats just some of the stories about the tone of the campaign. We want to get your thoughts as well. You can call and post on our twitter page as well. Somell give you a sense of of the rhetoric that was exchanged. Lets start with donald trump talking about marco rubio. He is a desperate guy.
