Neil Well the president ░░░░░░░░ been pounding jobs and ░░░░░░░░ Polster Lee Carter has ░░░░░░░░ looking into that how ░░░░░░░░ s resonating and a ░░░░░░░░ other big issues Lee ░░░░░░░░ are you finding on ░░░░░░░░ jobs front So this ░░░░░░░░ Trump s biggest strength ░░░░░░░░ economy jobs he talked ░░░░░░░░ it in the rally ░░░░░░░░ why don t we ░░░░░░░░ a look at how ░░░░░░░░ react where its Republican ░░░░░░░░ is Independence and blue ░░░░░░░░ Democrats Neil Take a ░░░░░░░░ President Trump We ve ░░░░░░░░ almost 600 000 new ░░░░░░░░ jobs Applause President Trump ░░░░░░░░ remember the previous administration ░░░░░░░░ can t create manufacturing ░░░░░░░░ any more They re ░░░░░░░░ best jobs They re ░░░░░░░░ most important jobs They ░░░░░░░░ great jobs and high ░░░░░░░░ jobs and we do ░░░░░░░░ better than anybody 600 ░░░░░░░░ and it s going ░░░░░░░░ rapidly as these companies ░░░░░░░░ back into the United ░░░░░░░░ they all want to ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ now for the first ░░░░░░░░ in decades we are ░░░░░░░░ it s at we ░░░░░░░░ the hot country can ░░░░░░░░ believe it Applause Neil ░░░░░░░░ does that resonate with ░░░░░░░░ Independence Now you could ░░░░░░░░ in the very beginning ░░░░░░░░ you start with the ░░░░░░░░ they were recognizing when ░░░░░░░░ start saying everybody else ░░░░░░░░ t do it the ░░░░░░░░ couldn t they dipped ░░░░░░░░ little bit but we ░░░░░░░░ seeing that the independents ░░░░░░░░ softening and that s ░░░░░░░░ Carr ied him in ░░░░░░░░ and we re not ░░░░░░░░ that strength that he ░░░░░░░░ before and that concerns ░░░░░░░░ going into the mid ░░░░░░░░ a little bit but ░░░░░░░░ jobs message does resonate ░░░░░░░░ s the best he ░░░░░░░░ all night with them ░░░░░░░░ What about the birth ░░░░░░░░ citizens division He championed ░░░░░░░░ and he says it ░░░░░░░░ it clearly does I ░░░░░░░░ he will take a ░░░░░░░░ at the clip and ░░░░░░░░ I m concerned about ░░░░░░░░ now is this is ░░░░░░░░ the time to bring ░░░░░░░░ up it s a ░░░░░░░░ polarizing issue even with ░░░░░░░░ let s take a ░░░░░░░░ at what he says ░░░░░░░░ Trump Democrats want to ░░░░░░░░ giving automatic birth rights ░░░░░░░░ to every child born ░░░░░░░░ an illegal alien Even ░░░░░░░░ they ve been on ░░░░░░░░ soil for a mere ░░░░░░░░ of seconds Hundreds of ░░░░░░░░ of children born to ░░░░░░░░ immigrants are made automatic ░░░░░░░░ of the United States ░░░░░░░░ year because of this ░░░░░░░░ lunatic policy that we ░░░░░░░░ end that we can ░░░░░░░░ Applause President Trump We ░░░░░░░░ support Neil Now I ░░░░░░░░ where you re coming ░░░░░░░░ the Polster that the ░░░░░░░░ of the economy and ░░░░░░░░ of that other stuff ░░░░░░░░ it does galvanize the ░░░░░░░░ right It galvanizes the ░░░░░░░░ but you can see ░░░░░░░░ when the president talks ░░░░░░░░ go off the charts ░░░░░░░░ base you could see ░░░░░░░░ the last chip you ░░░░░░░░ t even see that ░░░░░░░░ they are pretty neutral ░░░░░░░░ that says to me ░░░░░░░░ is an issue getting ░░░░░░░░ excited and independents are ░░░░░░░░ turned off and Democrats ░░░░░░░░ down right angry about ░░░░░░░░ but when you re ░░░░░░░░ independents at this point ░░░░░░░░ people who said we ░░░░░░░░ open ended questions where ░░░░░░░░ asked people what they ░░░░░░░░ about this this is ░░░░░░░░ humanitarian issue the way ░░░░░░░░ are talking about it ░░░░░░░░ this seems so controversial ░░░░░░░░ s making them wonder ░░░░░░░░ this right now the ░░░░░░░░ on immigration the president ░░░░░░░░ he gets credit for ░░░░░░░░ a lot of big ░░░░░░░░ and people are out ░░░░░░░░ Neil It s not ░░░░░░░░ shut down entry into ░░░░░░░░ United States We re ░░░░░░░░ showing in the prior ░░░░░░░░ where 1 1 million ░░░░░░░░ likely to be a ░░░░░░░░ of a million of ░░░░░░░░ year are coming in ░░░░░░░░ legal way and net ░░░░░░░░ becoming citizens with the ░░░░░░░░ cards Visas what have ░░░░░░░░ so it s not ░░░░░░░░ if the Statue of ░░░░░░░░ is walking away here ░░░░░░░░ s right but the ░░░░░░░░ here is this president ░░░░░░░░ does right before big ░░░░░░░░ lo BS out a ░░░░░░░░ idea that gets everybody ░░░░░░░░ and usually it works ░░░░░░░░ really well you see ░░░░░░░░ lot of Republicans getting ░░░░░░░░ about it having conversations ░░░░░░░░ things we never would ░░░░░░░░ had otherwise this one ░░░░░░░░ very controversial not getting ░░░░░░░░ excited Republicans his base ░░░░░░░░ saying look we want ░░░░░░░░ borders we want to ░░░░░░░░ everything in order but ░░░░░░░░ one they know is ░░░░░░░░ seeing a lot going ░░░░░░░░ and fourth and going ░░░░░░░░ the mid terms what ░░░░░░░░ we really want is ░░░░░░░░ excited and the base ░░░░░░░░ and ready to go ░░░░░░░░ every Republican voter out ░░░░░░░░ to go Neil Good ░░░░░░░░ doesn t do that ░░░░░░░░ much as controversial news ░░░░░░░░ rallying the base around ░░░░░░░░ hot But it s ░░░░░░░░ right controversy and what ░░░░░░░░ re see ING is ░░░░░░░░ re just not getting ░░░░░░░░ big when you see ░░░░░░░░ talking about the wall ░░░░░░░░ those big ideas people ░░░░░░░░ excited it s like ░░░░░░░░ meat right it s ░░░░░░░░ exciting to folks You ░░░░░░░░ not seeing that here ░░░░░░░░ that has me a ░░░░░░░░ bit concerned and I ░░░░░░░░ also a little bit ░░░░░░░░ about that independent reaction ░░░░░░░░ now Neil Thank you ░░░░░░░░ very much.
