Health care they've all been big issues but I don't think you ever get humidity like this in Wyoming -- -- it's something and it's I mean.

You -- take -- knife and it would you have to be as sharp -- a surgeon -- remember implicitly or doctor to that's right.

What about the team that will react to the following quote from Virginia.

Two weeks ago -- Did you got a business that.

These are family -- Who have with stood.

Floods drought but Great Depression -- a government that claims to be there to help them.

They have never been so insulted in their lives and those are the people to build those -- of those of the people that -- those -- but.

Whether it's that whether it's a dry cleaner a florist.

And he a car wash operator.

I think this is an insult to every hard working about American -- small business owner across this country stayed there at this election's about numbers.

And you were quoted just this past week when you travel around sixteen trillion dollars national debt numbers of workers without jobs and the amount of money taken out of Medicare.

Now that argument has gone back and forth and it's been debated how can you convince Americans.

About all these issues right now.

Well the American people know that this country was built on a a combination of opportunity and an ambition and an innovation and overcoming obstacles and the president is completely out of touch with that.

A vision of America that I think people -- all the communities of across the country have to your point then there's this whole from the LA times 72%.

Say economic.

Record under present Obama as a key factor.

And their votes and the president has failed when jobs in the economy on the deck when the spending.

We've had over forty months of unemployment of over 8% bill.

People want to get back to work we have 23 million Americans who were either unemployed or underemployed.

It is a huge factor in only 13 of Americans think the country's heading in the right direction and -- a national perspective a historical -- perspective on this when you look -- key elections.

That it changed the course of America put a party and that was there -- kicked him out of party.

Are out of power rally.

When you think about the economy.

What is the measure of impact the economy has on an individual.

Vote.

Well I think it's a major thing into whether that person.

Is working has worked and and and those people that are looking for work or have worked.

The economy is a huge impact people even those who are fortunate enough to have jobs are earning.

About 4000 dollars less now than they were when President Obama.

Came into office plus the pricey gasoline is continuing to go up.

People are understanding the pain at the pump they realize that the quality of their life.

Under this president is worse not better that's where it all goes down in the arena behind us your sense on Friday.

How to Republicans commanded him.

Well I think we've come out united and then you win.

By coalition of people -- all agree on the on the major issues in the major issues are jobs the economy debt and spending.

And it's a responsible government that we have with this president is a government continues to be.

More expensive and less effective senator thank you we'll see inside -- -- -- us that a wild lately we have a breeze now.
