back and looking at the big picture if this happens across the nation trump is not going to get re-elected. if this happens across north carolina trump won t carry the state. that is to say, trump carried the state by four points last time when he won the district by 11 or 12. so if he wins the district only by two, he ll lose the state. if he wins the district by five or six, he ll lose the state. so i think, you know, democrats would be very disappointed. mccready was a very good candidate i think and would have been in my opinion a good congressman. but nonetheless, if things go where we are now is not a good place for trump or for the republican party. hey, bill, i just wanted to give you a heads-up. the leader of the free world who for the record tweeted out a cat video saturday night is now on the board having tweeted this. just this. trump 2024. your reaction. well, maybe he expects to lose in 2020 and then he ll run again in 2024. i ve always wondered everyone assumes
