I simply don't.

Phil Murphy is running directly at Christie and Trump - and he will be our next governor.

Phil's approach would never work in Arkansas or Oklahoma where abortion, same sex marriage, prayer in schools would work. Property taxes and education would be a loser in Mississippi. Port Security and infrastructure as a means to prosperity won't work in Montana.

I think and hope regional and state approaches ares used in 2018.
