I would not have had a problem if both Martha and Brett, were tougher on P. Trump. I bet even he is a little surprised by the tempo or timbre.

AND... it’s Chris Stirewalt, who is amazed by President Trump’s demeanor.

I was expecting a question or two on energy, especially regarding fracking.

Pennsylvania oil rush-

The oil rush in America started in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in the Oil Creek Valley when Edwin L. Drake struck “rock oil” there in 1859. Titusville and other towns on the shores of Oil Creek expanded rapidly as oil wells and refineries shot up across the region. Oil quickly became one of the most valuable commodities in the United States and railroads expanded into Western Pennsylvania to ship petroleum to the rest of the country.

By the mid-1870s, the oil industry was well established, and the “rush” to drill wells and control production was over. Pennsylvania oil production peaked in 1891, and was later surpassed by northwestern states such as Texas and California, but some oil industry remains in Pennsylvania.
