Economy is the most important issue for the voters. Poll after poll voters put economy as the number 1 issue.

Today on CNN John King quoted recent polls.

Overall around the country Trump beats Clinton on economy by 5%: Trump-50%, Clinton-45%

What is really huge, is the fact that in the North-East, the rust belt, Trump beats her on economy by 25%: Trump- 59%, Clinton-34%

This is extremely important as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan are the most important swing states.

Incidentally, I just read today that Chris Christie has been made the chairman of the transition team. Chris is the one heading it now. My number one theory is that Trump likes to have more eyes and ears in his organization. In this case the son in law is not in a position of power. He is simply on the transition team. It might be a good thing to have if there are any problems. The SIL would know how to get a hold of dad in a hurry.

I have a lot of young friends from social media and online games and so on. Almost everyone of them is behind Bernie Sanders. They feel he is sincere, and benevolent, and are so historically ignorant they don’t get the fact that socialism has been tried repeatedly and in a variety of circumstances and is an evergreen of failure.

I have some young people living with me. They too support Sanders, and are historically ignorant -- or indifferent?

My roommate, who is 27, liked Bernie's idea of "free" college. When I told her it works in Europe only because the college track is very narrow & elitist, she said, "Yeah, but it's free!" She didn't quite grasp the concept of tax dollars.

While I don't think Bernie will win, I am worried that in a few years' time, somebody like him will, given the lethal combination of ignorance & liberalism among the young. They have a terrible lack of mental clarity. Some might gain it later; but many seem irredeemably lost.

“Hillary has had a lot of coughing attacks and cannot hide them. So who dies first? Hillary or Bill.”

I think that Trump will run PIAPS ragged in the General. Right now show makes one appearance a week. Trump won’t let her do that. He will make her obvious poor health an issue.

That’s a huge part of it. Why yes, I believe it is. Loose lips sink ships.
