I want to take the family on a Washington D.C. vacation while Trump is president. There will never be a better time to go than now.

But I heard that it was because she wanted more time to spend with her family?

Wait a minute.. is that what they're saying? I had a (short) conversation with the NY GOP and they assured me that there will be a primary. I hope that this doesn't mean otherwise.

 IJ> Trump likes this guy, Elise just trying to negotiate these obstacles and
 IJ> do whats best for the party.

The guy is very likeable (Bruce Blakeman) but I just don't see him winning a race against the spiny-tailed iguana. He would need to work his ass off to do it. I'm hoping to see some younger faces in the NY GOP gubernatorial primary race.
