they pull the lever is someone who we actually want to be president of the united states? now, we ve seen trump level off a little bit, but recently in the light of the terrorist attacks in paris his numbers have started to go back up again. because you have president obama, the juxtaposition between president obama who is so weak and so passive on things and americans are looking at this going this guy s incompetent, what is going on? then you have trump come in and say we re going to win. and we re going to blast isis back to hell. so people look at him and say, yeah, yeah, that s who we want forgiving him for his other transgressions which i think is not necessarily good. jennice, one of the really fascinating parts of athena s report there was that she sort of lays out the state of the race here on thanksgiving keeping in mind that some of the dates for these early contests have changed since 2008 and 2012. but 2008 rudy giuliani was leading nationwide. mitt romney was leading na
