i will tell you, the people are incredible of this country. and they re really, really smart. they get it. i m very, very impressed by it. nbc news/survey monkey poll has you at the top. 41% support among likely republican voters, it also shows you re ahead with white evangelicals. why do you think those voters are drawn to you? i m protestant. i i say it with a smile, i m not going to question anybody s faith. but i am somehow really resonating in fact, i have great support from some of the ministers and pastors what s resonating? but what s resonating with the people in lowell, massachusetts, a couple of nights ago with the 15,000,
