Heading into the end, though, donald trump, look at this, the foundation of trump support, white voters without a college degree, a whopping 30point lead on that question. One of the arenreasons this is a total blowout nationally. We didnt just ask voters who theyre voting for, we asked them why. A fivepoint national lead, not a total blowout. One of the reasons its not bigger than that, who would best handle the economy . Donald trump wins on that. The other big issues, Hillary Clinton a little bit on terrorism, a bit on immigration. What has her campaign been about, saying hes erratic, unfit, temperamentally not fit to be president of the United States. The voters agree, nearly 30 points she wince on the question of which candidate has the best temperament to be president , also wins by 15 points when voters are asked which of these two do you trust to be Commander In Chief . Shes winning on the qualification for the job, if you will, even though she trails on the economy. The bigges

think i don t think they re going to screw it up. but they need to make an argument in 2020 that they are going to be good stewards of the economy the way that obama was, the way that bill clinton was because if you take the economy argument away from trump, he collapses. jennifer, is there is it worth challenging trump in new hampshire? mark sanford says he came away thinking there s a path to 30, 35%. that s if you can get a path to 30, 35, that s worth doing. but it doesn t sound like the republican electorate s really that open to this. and if you have the conservative echo chamber the way it is, they re not really going to open the doors for these candidates, right? well, actually, no. i think that there s absolutely value in challenging donald trump in new hampshire. first of all we know that there is an in spite of the high numbers of republicans who say that they are satisfied with the president, there is a
continue to keep it strong through the 2020 calendar year. but, look, if the economy were to weaken, it would weaken the economy argument that trump can make for re-election in 2020. and so, you know, i think he needs to be wary of that. he s generally gotten better marks from the public on the economy than he has on any other issue and than he has generally in terms of his job approval. so it s been his area of strength. i think if you look at the 500,000 manufacturing jobs that have been brought back, historically low unemployment, nationally and for important groups like african-americans and hispanic-americans, he s got some good arguments to make but we need to keep the economy strong for the next year and a of to give him the best chance possible for re-election. that s why the president is probably looking at those numbers and thinking that he definitely have to try and keep the economy strong. former vice president, in the meantime, joe biden, has consistently held the front-
out of a trillion dollar spending bill to build the wall when it was one of trump s major promises in the american people. this is unbelievable. is that like saying it s on sale, even though it s a horrible item you should buy it anyway? what are you talking about? trump ran for president, every speech he gave, he said i m going to build this wall, he wins the election, and democrats say, we re not for border security, we re not going to do this, we want catch ask and release, sanctuary states and sa sanctuary cities. i think trump should take this to the american people, say the democrats can t spend $4 billion. go, joan. you know, history is going to judge folks who made this economy argument very poorly. and if i didn t care about don t interrupt me. why? why? if i didn t care about the people who will be furloughed over the holiday, i would say bring it on. because i really relish the idea
