would have been on friday is clearly bad news. nobody wants to see that. anyone who wants to see a big green arrow going up, not a big red arrow going down. on the other hand, the stock market up 40% since president trump was elected so he can and does take credit for a strong rise. the trip to ohio is clearly focused on the economy, but a slightly different aspect. we know the president is visiting the manufacturing company. the company gave 1000-dollar bonuses to employees after it was passed in december. the president is making the case that his policies are delivering her for the heartland voters who are so pivotal in electing them in the first base. a lot of companies eager to bonus around the country are doing not as well as hiring more
experience at the rnc convention? here is why this is a significant moment as he goes out on the trail by himself. paul ryan is a wonk. he has been a creature of the think tank. he s a creature of the house hearing room, he is a creature of the sunday morning talk shows. can he talk to heartland voters, the republican base in a way that gets them fired up? maybe the good thing is ryan has time to go out and campaign. sarah palin is a natural. she was born that way. she is sarah barracuda. when she gave that killer speech, the slap shot of a speech, it was great. that s not ryan s gear. he s a retail politician but one-on-one. he s a kitchen table kind of guy. this is a chance for him 0 go out on the trail and test himself. we herd him sharpen his attacks
