for bam why in 2012, why did they vote for trump in 2016. all the issues that trump campaigned on an won on. economy, crime, economy, pulling out of paris, defeating isis, he is doing all these things. the average american looks at what is going on in the country and they see unemployment down, a little more money in their paycheck and yet all democrats are talking about russia. i don t think that s a receptive message for them. sandra: brad, when you talk about the president s tweets. sorry, i have to start focusing my energy on north korea nuclear, bad trade deals, v.a. choice, economy, rebuilding the military and so much more and not on the rigged russia witch hunt that should be investigating clinton, russia, f.b.i., justice, obama, comey, lynch, etc. to the president s point. he has a lot going on and he has a lot of people to answer to. he has an ongoing investigation when it comes to russia and he has a lot of work to do. he is trying to move forward.
