U. S. Political history. From purdue university, this is about an hour and a half. Hi, ill be guiding our conversation this afternoon. Our panel today is entitled making the case for latino political history. A theme that is arguably central to the idea of remaking american political history. This is not to say that no one has ever thought of or written about latinos in politics and history. In fact, the conversation to come follows in the footsteps of many major works and scholars.

Trump also saying hes not supporting senator john mccain in his primary bid in arizona. Quote, he has not done a good job for the vets, and ive always felt that he should have done a much better job for the vets, so ive always had a difficult time with john for that reason, because our vets are not being treated properly. And trump did not stop there. He also took aim at senator kelly ayotte, calling her a weak and disloyal leader in new hampshire.

Talking about a number of counties, a large number in the state. Reporter there are 44 counties currently under a state of emergency. Virginia is a pretty rural area and a lot of people live and work off the land. My own grandparents live an hour up the road and both from here. We have farms. What people here do.
