they ░░░░░░░░ things going on But ░░░░░░░░ pretty good Doug let ░░░░░░░░ ask you Obviously President ░░░░░░░░ s supporters according to ░░░░░░░░ and according to Diane ░░░░░░░░ research are happy Is ░░░░░░░░ enough I mean obviously ░░░░░░░░ didn t win the ░░░░░░░░ vote Doesn t he ░░░░░░░░ to expand his base ░░░░░░░░ to govern effectively and ░░░░░░░░ if he wants to ░░░░░░░░ reelected I think that
