amon, it's a good stoichgs be in, they can spin off of the rnc -- what do you think they have to work always helps to bat clean up. that's why this thing with client eastwood was a missed opportunity. i have never seen a speaker at the national convention go off the rails like that. it's a moment when you're just looking at it saying oh my goodness, i can't believe this is happening. but what was a opportunity for republicans to go after those voters. here is their opportunity to reach out to independents and they had a weird awkward moment that was not their best foot forward. maybe some of those people from bain that were colleagues would have been a better use of that time. >> listen, i love you man, i love you, but i have to completely disagree with you. you, and i, and rachel are in dc, new york, and the northeast. judging clint eastwood, trying to say what america thought of this speech. you have travelled all over the country. guy to wisconsin every summer, my parents are in virginia. i guarantee you more people liked the speech than disliked it. the media is making fun of it b
