Buckley. [applause] thank you very much. Thank you very much for being here. Im delighted to be in beautiful savannah.

I think thats a real concern among a lot of americans who in fact preferred independents over their own party. Host the next call is from sue from iowa. Caller okay, my question is, concerned it has
