old. She said i went along with it, i went to his house a couple of times. Its not really that question of her going, its a question of whether or not he did this. I understand this is a hugely politically charged environment. His opponents are looking for anything they possibly can find to take him down the longheld republic and seat. The question is whether or n
february, march, april, those numbers will change. i can t help but keep harkening back to the obamacare battle. it was just very similar things. when you start to experience this, now that it s in effect, it s going to become popular. because the democrats then passed an unpopular piece of legislation. you just pointed out the challenge. so a third of the country is in favor of it, a majority is opposed. that s the 2018 challenge for republicans to go out and try to chip away at that opposition number. yes, a little bit more money in the paychecks may help. if job hiring actually increases, if we do see companies pouring some money back into wages, that could all potentially help. at the immediate outset, wolf, what i think helps is that republicans that we ve seen a little bit in recent elections this year be a little depressed, may come back to life now and that s the first step in the republican party trying to build up the fortress it needs to deal with the coming potential demo
