when i asked a woman at the rally in pensacola for the same question i asked women everywhere, why are you here, she says because i'm not an idiot suddenly everyone thought trump was going to win. he wasn't going to win but he was often winning the conservative statement. they would have to win one to the blue column and this has been a republican idea for quite a while. mitt romney and paul ryan tried to swing to wisconsin but trump really wanted to do it and the day before i ran into him on the outskirts of a rally in north carolina and he said if he wins nevada, new hampshire, ohio and florida. the early votes have already come in. he was running his own model and his team predicted the victory everywhere except wisconsin but they didn't think wisconsin is going to come into the direct column and they said now you can pop the champagne corks. they did their jobs and for sort of left at the end with the cr crew. it's a remarkable moment in history and i write about that and i write a lot about that drama in the last few weeks many people started streaming at about 9:30 at night. it w

if you want to live in pensacola or the gulf coast of florida, that is not my decision to tell you you can or cannot. i do not think it is the government's decision to do that or not. if you choose to live and one of these high-risk areas, then should the taxpayer subsidize the cost of the insurance, or should you pay fair market rates for that insurance to insure against the risk because you chose to live in that particular area? i fall on the free market side. that says letside people build where they want to. thatials should make sure if you build on the coastline, you should build to withstand of a hurricane of a certain category. in terms of insurance, it bothers me that congress, year ther year, reauthorizes national flood insurance program. the premiums are not sound, the reserves are not sound. we do not chart the kind of premiums we should. let's have a national debate about this. let's decide whether or not a taxpayer in wyoming should subsidize somebody in a flood prone area in mississippi. do we want to do that as a nation? have an honest, open debate about that. i would ch
