heading into the end, though, donald trump, look at this, the foundation of trump support, white voters without a college degree, a whopping 30-point lead on that question. one of the arenreasons this is a total blowout nationally. we didn t just ask voters who they re voting for, we asked them why. a five-point national lead, not a total blowout. one of the reasons it s 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 he s 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? she s winning on the qualification for the job, if you will, even though she trails on the economy. the

amateur criminologists. remember that? the frenzy spun out of control. soon, liberals were not simply talking about a stolen election but about war, actual war. if russia is going toal keep attacking america, then america really should fight back. there is an entire buildingic in st. petersburg filled with a russian troll army creating thousands of tweets, memes, news sites comments and flat-out fake o stories designed not to take sides on any issue but just to get us fighting about it. hillary clinton spent overto a billion dollars on the campaign, and the russians beat her with 150 grand because they were able to turn facebook into fake book.bl tucker: so you are accusing a nuclear armed adversary of committing an act of war and you are doing it purely in order to gain an advantage in a domestic political dispute? no normal person would do that. it s too reckless and crazy.l

believe we will not had those kind of sustained numbers again the 2008 recession they say me did at antiquated jobs especially in manufacturing. now replaced by automation and the industrialization of third world countries. new jobs are coming back and advanced manufacturing hence th need for retraining. that s what fourth generator engine manufacturer told the president in iowa on thursday. he s got 150 employees and need a lot more. the jobs are out there, everybody is seeing they are busier than they don t know wha to do bird were so busy that we ve got guys on mandatory overtime and their great guys, just want more of them. i saw a guy or waiting less at the said he s here are hiring. i think that s a good sign. whether those gdp numbers ar sustainable may depend on whether employers like can fill those vacant jobs. one way to try to do that is by setting up expensive job retraining programs made poss

trump tower meeting between allegedly his son and some russians and some other folks. and it is true that parts of that investigation have blossomed into whole new areas, such as the manafort trial, which has nothing at all to do with the original russia investigation. in fact it s one of the bases that manafort asked the judge to throw that case out, that it exceeded the power of the special counsel. so it s hard to say what exactly kristin davis has information about, because the scope of this investigation is so broad. just to give a little better sense pulling back the curtain from my conversations in my day job working over at the white house, in a series of conversations i had late this week with sources close to the president, they all tell me that the president s frustration specifically as it relates to paul manafort, remember that specific case he attacked as a hoax on twitter earlier this week, is

mentioned about him maybe offering a job running the u.s. army to a bank president who approved these loans for him. that s the only other reference to the trump campaign in the trial thus far. but two days ago, out of the blue on cross-examination, the manafort defense lawyer asks rick gates, hey, did mueller s prosecutors talk to you about your time working on the trump campaign? did you talk to them about that? prosecutor from the special counsel s office gets up and objects. the judge summons both lawyers to come to the bench. he flips on the white noise machine which is a real thing so the jury and spectators hear the sound of like crashing waves instead of the conversation. the jury, the reporters in the room, spectators none of them can hear what s being said at the bench. the lawyers on both side stay up there and they have this long prust communication. we know it s long because we know it takes six pages t
it was much lengthier, which i think caused some of us to speculate that all of these delays related to some juror issue, but the jurors are all back. there s been no further discussion of the reason for the delay. testimony is ongoing. the other intriguing thing that happened today was about sealed testimony about some rick gates testimony that could have to do with an investigation that is still ongoing. when we consider what investigations are still ongoing that rick gates might have to do with, we re looking at the larger special counsel investigation into the russia probe. what do you make of that testimony being put under seal by the judge? well, that came after an objection when the defense asked rick gates if he was asked questions by the fbi about his role in the trump campaign. and so at that point there was this sidebar where no doubt they discussed the scope of rick gates cooperation. it would not surprise me if he wasn t providing information about the time that he
