i know governor hogan very favorably, although more recently. so those are two guys who think like me. i have been to have an event across the river in vermont, in white river junction and had a chance to visit with governor phil scott of vermont, and he strikes me also as a kindred spirit. i think it is, frankly, way too early for me to ask anybody who is in politics to endorse me. i want to see if i can go along and see if public opinion does not take a turn in the direction that i think it will when people realize that the president is simply not doing his job, and then the geographic path, if you are interested, is the six new england states and the mid-atlantic states, where i am a native, actually, in new york. i spent a lot of time in new york, pennsylvania, new jersey, delaware. i think the west coast would be pretty fertile ground for me in a primary. a republican may have a terrible time in california in the general election against a democrat. it is quite a blue state. but in a primary against mr. trump, i think my politics lines up m
