Bret Baier claims 2 sources in FBI say indictment likely in Clinton Crime Family Foundation pay for play scandal

Detailed here.

He mentions that Cheryl Mills' and Heather Samuelson's laptops are being plumbed. They were not destroyed after all.

As polls tighten Trump campaign has been proven right about PA but should focus on CO, NH and VA instead of MI, WI and NM

Clinton's lead in PA is down to 3.4. That would be a huge coup for Trump.

Clinton's lead in CO is down to 1.7, in NH 3.3 and in VA 4.7. Go for those.

Clinton's lead in MI is 5.7, in WI 5.4, and in NM 8.5. Pretty far out of reach with five days to go.

Trump is still very vulnerable in FL (+0.7), NC (tie), ME-2 (Clinton +0.7), OH (+3.3) and IA (+1.4), as he is in AZ and NV where he has improved to +3 and +2 respectively.

Ross Douthat pretends that Hillary Clinton does not represent chaos and misrule


Go to hell, Ross.

Like I said, Trump should concentrate on Virginia, not Wisconsin or Michigan: Real Clear Politics just moved Virginia to "Toss-up" this morning

Virginia now favors Clinton by only +4.7.

Michigan is now Clinton +7.

Wisconsin is Clinton +5.7.

Trump is wasting his time in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Tuesday, November 1, 2016

Trump is misspending some of his $25 million ad blitz: In Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Mexico in particular

Trump needs instead to spend money to retake NV, AZ, CO and NC from Hillary where she leads narrowly and shore up IA, OH, GA and FL where Trump leads narrowly.

He's NOT going to retake WI (Clinton +5.7), Michigan (Clinton +6.7), Pennsylvania (Clinton +6), or New Mexico (Clinton +8.5).

Dumb.

Story here.

Drudge is an idiot for calling Wisconsin a battleground based on a WaPo story which is trying to divert Trump's energies

Wisconsin is a distraction. Trump isn't going to win it, and Drudge is a fool for taking the bait and headlining this WaPo story:


Trump is losing Wisconsin to Clinton at this hour by 5.7 points because of #NeverTrump libertarians who follow radio talker Charlie Sykes. That guy's never been on Trump's side and never will be. Wisconsin "conservatives" follow a ridiculous Speaker Paul Ryan who thinks preserving Medicare for future generations is a conservative thing. That's Ripon Society Republicanism, Teddy Roosevelt progressivism.

Libertarian Gary Johnson is polling 6.3 there, way above his current national average of 4.6, accounting for all of Clinton's margin of victory.

Trump shouldn't waste any more time or resources on Wisconsin.

He'd have been far better off trying for Virginia where he is polling better than in Wisconsin, but it's too late for that, too.

Trump's path to the presidency (164 Electoral College votes currently) is through NV, AZ, CO, IA, OH, NC, GA and FL (110).

He might want to visit NH and ME-2 also if he has the resources, but the main battle is in the eight states shown. 

Hillary's campaign chairman John Podesta conspiring with Cheryl Mills to destroy e-mail evidence



If Republicans had any brains they'd be pointing out that GDP is running $2 trillion behind Bush and employment 6 million

But no, they have their heads up their ass because Trump talked about grabbing pussy.

Which proves that Republicans don't care about the economy and the middle class, only about their privileges under the establishment.

Which is why they hate Trump, because he does care. 

Mark Levin waits until one week before Election 2016 to state that Donald Trump is more conservative than both John McCain and Mitt Romney on a host of issues

What a piece of shit Levin is.

At the end of the first half hour, tonight.

Trump campaign's travel schedule since 10/25/16 is hit and miss

Made/makes sense to visit:

NV (Clinton +1.0), 10-30
AZ (Clinton +0.6), 10-29, 11-2
CO (Clinton +4.0), 10-29, 10-30, 11-2
OH (Trump +2.5), 10-27
NC (Clinton +2.6), 10-26, 11-3
FL (Trump +1.0), 11-2, 11-3

No visits:

IA (Trump +1.4)
ME-2 (Clinton +2.0)
GA (Trump +3.6)

Made/makes no sense to visit:

PA (Clinton +6.0), 11-1, 11-3
MI (Clinton +6.7), 10-31
WI (Clinton +5.7), 11-1
NM (Clinton +8.5), 10-30, 11-2

Trump's path to victory is a surge in NV, AZ, CO, and NC, not MI

Trump's path to victory does not run through MI. Trump is wasting time and resources here.

With 233 Electoral College votes more or less in the bank as of today, the path to victory runs through NV, AZ, CO and NC instead.

He can overcome Hillary's +1 in NV, Hillary's +0.6 in AZ, Hillary's +4.0 in CO, and Hillary's +2.6 in NC. If he does he can win 274-264.

Trying to overcome Hillary's +6.7 in MI is a fool's errand.

Instead he ought to be trying to keep IA, where his lead is just +1.4, OH, where his lead is just +2.5, GA, where his lead is just +3.6, and FL, where his lead is just +1.0.

Whoever let Trump come to MI yesterday is a fool.

But it was probably Trump himself.


With one week until Election 2016, America is about to elect a crook, Hillary Clinton, president with 305 Electoral College votes

The Real Clear Politics map at this hour shows Clinton with 263 Electoral College votes in her column, Trump with 164, and 111 Toss-Ups.

NH, PA, VA, MI, WI, MN, NM and OR lean Clinton by an average of 6.55 points and are included in her total of 263.

IN, MO, TX and UT lean Trump by an average of 6.5 points and are included in his total of 164.

Based solely on the polling in the Toss-Ups, Clinton is set to win NV, AZ, CO, ME-2 and NC, giving her a total of 305, 35 more than the 270 she needs to win. Her average lead in the polls in these 5 is just 2.04 points.

Trump is set to win IA, OH, GA and FL, giving him a total of 233, 37 fewer than the 270 he needs to win. His average lead in the polls in these 4 is 2.13 points.

Clinton's margin nationally has fallen to +2.2 over Trump. Libertarian Johnson averages 4.6 points and Green Party Stein 2.1 points.

Hillary is creaming Trump on the radio with 15 times as many ads in the last ten days of October

Inside Radio reports here:

In terms of actual spot numbers, that’s 18,791 for the Democratic candidate and just 1,245 ads for the Republican nominee. The study covers 85 markets across the country.

Through October 28 Hillary has outspent Trump on TV and radio 2.75 to 1

From Advertising Age's 37th installment on campaign spending to date:

But for now Sec. Clinton and pro-Clinton PACs are miles ahead of Mr. Trump and pro-Trump PACs in the TV-and-radio ad game. The tally right now (including primary season and the general election): $436.4 million spent by Clinton and her allies vs. $158.5 million spent by Trump and his allies -- $594.9 million in all.

Through mid-September Clinton had outspent Trump on television 5.85 to 1

Reported here:

According to a Bloomberg analysis, through Sept. 13, Clinton had spent $109.4 million on TV ads, compared to $18.7 million for Trump. Clinton hit the airwaves two months sooner than Trump. 

Steve Gruber was a boor to Nicole Gelinas this morning

They had an argument over Gelinas' thesis that Trump's fiscal policies are stimulative like Obama's and will dramatically widen deficits without spending cuts.

When Gruber gave her the last 20 seconds he talked over her response instead.

Bad form old boy.

Trump hasn't yet run one radio ad in my market in Michigan

I listen to talk radio pretty much non-stop during the election season, and here in western Michigan Trump actually visited today for the first time in a month but I haven't heard one ad on the radio this week for Trump, let alone one ad on the radio in any other week in the last 30 days.

He's not going to win Michigan that way. Not without the western counties that all went for Ted Cruz. By eschewing the radio waves here Trump shows me he's not serious about winning Michigan. He keeps asking for money, but never seems to spend it on the one thing which could spread the enthusiasm present at his rallies to the older Republican base.

I think Trump will lose Michigan and simply wasted his time coming here today, mistakenly continuing to practice what's been appropriate to the primary strategy when the general election requires something more.

Clinton's Real Clear Politics polling average tonight in Michigan is +6.3.

Wikileaks show CNN's Donna Brazile disclosed debate questions to Hillary, force her to resign effective October 14th

Reported here.

John Kass asks, Is the country more important to Democrats than power?


The best thing would be for Democrats to ask her to step down now. It would be the most responsible thing to do, if the nation were more important to them than power. And the American news media — fairly or not firmly identified in the public mind as Mrs. Clinton's political action committee — should begin demanding it.

Oh look, a deer: NY Times' Nicholas Kristof tries to change the subject from Hillary's scandals to poverty


OK, let's talk about it.

Poverty under Democrats Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Hillary and Boltneck is up 23%.

Now back to the nefarious reasons not to vote for Hillary.

Weiner laptop contains 650,000 e-mails to examine, thousands of which come from or go to Hillary's private server

Hm, if the Weiner's got 'em, then a lot of people got 'em.

Reported here:

Metadata on the laptop suggests there may be thousands of emails sent to or from the private server Clinton used while she was secretary of state.

Tens of thousands of e-mails belonging to Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin found on her estranged husband's computer

Oops! That'll take a while to sort out. Expect nothing before the second Tuesday in November.

Meanwhile Hillary's more upset the discovery is interfering with her election chances than she is that it happened in the first place. With Hillary Clinton, national security is always secondary to what really matters.

The situation is not unlike 2008 when a black man just came out of nowhere and stole the nomination from her. Somebody call the cops!

Reported here:

A senior law enforcement official said that tens of thousands of emails belonging to Ms. Abedin were backed up on Mr. Weiner’s computer, which the F.B.I. had obtained as part of its investigation into Mr. Weiner. Mr. Comey said in his letter to Congress that he did not know how long it would take to review the emails. Law enforcement officials said they did not know if and how many were duplicates of emails discovered in the earlier investigation.

Flashback to 2006: Senator Hillary Clinton was upset the US didn't rig the Palestine election so that Fatah had won instead of Hamas

From the newly unearthed audio here:

Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).

“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

Today's advance estimate of GDP for 3Q2016 at 2.9% actually looks pessimistic

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in June reduced their forecast of 2016 GDP from 2.1-2.3% in March to 1.9-2.0%.

Today's estimate means the average report of GDP in 2016 is now 1.7%.

It'll take a lot more than today's 2.9% to get us up to 2.0% for the year.

Boston Globe says Trump travels twice the distance Clinton travels, takes fewer days off, but Hillary criticizes Trump for taking time off to dedicate his new hotel


He’s racked up more than 276,000 miles since he officially announced he was running for president on June 16, 2015. She’s tallied 256,000-plus miles since April 12, 2015, when she formally announced her candidacy.

In recent weeks, Trump has traveled considerably more miles — about double the distance Clinton has logged.

Trump has also taken fewer days off from traveling, according to the National Journal data. He’s traveled on just over half the days since he announced he was running. She’s traveled on about 39 percent of days since throwing her hat in the ring.

Claes Ryn shoots one across Rod Dreher's bow


He comes as close as a Catholic can to recommending that conservatives stand and fight.

His name is Donald John Trump.

Rod Dreher wrote a book about Dante but can't seem to place the liar Hillary in any circle of hell

E-mail from Hillary's Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills to John Podesta shows conspiracy to cover up evidence of Obama's knowledge of Hillary's private server

. . . apart from showing that Obama brazenly lied to the public when he said he knew nothing about Hillary's private server arrangement.

Here: "Obama has emails from Hillary which do not say state.gov".



Rush Limbaugh's memory of 1980 is terrible

He just said the unemployment rate in 1980 was in the double digits, but it wasn't.

In 1980 the unemployment rate averaged 7.2%. In July it peaked at 7.8%.

That hurt a lot because it had been as low as 5.6% in 1979. 

Two weeks to Election 2016 Real Clear Politics polling averages have Clinton beating Trump 333-205 in the Electoral College

With two weeks to go to Election 2016 the Real Clear Politics polling averages have Clinton beating Trump 333-205 in the Electoral College matchup. Hillary has regained momentum in the polling in the last week, up from winning 321-217 last week.

The basic map has Clinton at 272 this morning, already winning, and Trump at 126, with 140 EC votes as toss-ups.

Based on the polling advantages this morning in the toss-ups, Clinton wins NV, AZ, NC and FL with an average lead of 2.95 points, bringing her to 333 EC votes.

Trump wins TX, IA, OH, ME-2 and GA with an average lead of 3.66 points, bringing him to 205 EC votes.

Hillary has 10 states which only lean in her direction. In 9 of these her average lead is 7.3 points (there is no average shown for CT). These are already counted in her 272 EC total this morning. Trump has 4 states only leaning in his direction. His average lead in these is 6.2 points. These are already counted in his total of 126.

Libertarian Gary Johnson continues to poll at 6.0 on average, more than off-setting Clinton's 5.4 lead over Trump (39.9) in a four-way match up including Stein (2.2). But only in CO, NM, MN and NH do Johnson's averages total in excess of Clinton's leads this week. Clinton clearly has made small gains in her own right in OR, WI, MI, PA and VA as voters come to realize this election is binary. Rasmussen and IBD show Clinton only at +1, however, in the four-way match up nationally. 

In a two-way match up IBD also shows Clinton +1, as does the LA Times. Gravis has Clinton and Trump tied in one of the few polls of registered voters, 74% of which vote on average since 1972.

Consider the source


Rod Dreher blames the Republican rank and file who voted for Trump for the coming "mess"

Reminds me of Rush Limbaugh blaming the so-called four million Republicans who stayed home in 2012 for Romney's loss.

Yeah, like it's all of a sudden a government of the people, by the people and for the people when we lose, but the rubes never get the credit when we win.

Meanwhile the guys with the microphones and the high profile blogs get off scot-free.


"[T]he bitterness and spite among Republican regulars is going to blind them to their own role in creating this mess." 

The Republican Party is finished, and Frank Luntz knows it


Well, I have been to 26 states now. I will probably make it to 30 before the election is over. And it means that there is no coming together.

And I think it’s going to be very challenging for the GOP, because you have got some Trump voters who are unwilling to vote for a Republican for Senate or Congress as a way to send a message to the establishment, and you have got some independents who want to vote Republican for the Senate and the House, but won’t because they’re too connected to Donald Trump.

With only 17 days to go, I have not seen an election like this, where there is so much intraparty battles going on . . ..

China's new "Internet Plus" seen as a resurgence of the totalitarianism of the Cultural Revolution

From the story here:

“China is moving towards a totalitarian society, where the government controls and affects individuals’ private lives,” said Beijing-based novelist and social commentator  Murong Xuecun. “This is like Big Brother, who has all your information and can harm you in any way he wants.” ...

Lester Ross, partner-in-charge of the Beijing office of law firm WilmerHale, says the rules are designed to stop anyone “stepping out of line” and could intimidate lawyers seeking to put forward an aggressive defense of their clients. He sees echoes of the Cultural Revolution, in which Mao Zedong identified “five black categories” of people considered enemies of the revolution, including landlords, rich farmers and rightists, who were singled out for struggle sessions, persecution and re-education.

New Black Five: Rights lawyers, underground religion, dissidents, internet leaders, the disadvantaged


Trump can still win this thing if his supporters don't lose heart and Americans can be convinced not to vote for the criminal alternative, Hillary Clinton

Consider the consensus of polling controlled by the pro-Democrat, liberal media interests as represented by the Real Clear Politics polling average today.

With just over 2 weeks to go until the election, Clinton is ahead 47.7 to Trump's 41.9 with an average margin of error of 3.46 points. Consider that this was almost exactly how things looked on August 17 when Trump handed over his campaign to Kellyanne Conway & Co. (Trump 41.2 v. Clinton 47.2). One can complain that Trump hasn't made any progress since then, but the same thing can be said about Clinton.

In view of what we know from Wikileaks demonstrating how the media aren't telling the truth and are simply part of the Clinton campaign, the truth is closer to the possibility of Clinton actually losing to Trump 45 to 44 in the popular vote despite the onslaught of character assassination going on against him, which is the only thing Democrats have going for them. That and the Republican traitors of #NeverTrump.

And that's what the daily tracking polls have been telling us, too, all along.

Rasmussen has consistently shown this to be a one or two point brawl for many months, often with Trump ahead. Same with IBD since the beginning of September. And the LA Times poll is virtually unchanged also since August 17 with Clinton +1 then and Trump +0.3 this morning.

As some headlines have suggested, Trump could win the popular vote and end up losing the election like Al Gore.

The reason is the toss-up states, but also the "leaners". Keep in mind that nationally the consensus of the liberal polling establishment has Clinton winning this by 6 points when it could actually be Trump by +1. In the states presently leaning Clinton her average lead is +7.35 but in her five toss-ups just +3.22. Trump's average lead in his leaners is +6.04 and in his toss-ups +3.25.

The race is much closer than the media which overwhelmingly support Clinton want you to believe.

Vote fraud: Four years ago Pew understood what's wrong with America's voter registration system

Keep in mind that McCain lost in 2008 by 1.4 million votes and that Romney lost by fewer than 0.5 million votes in 2012 when reading the following.

Here was Pew in 2012:
  • 24 million or 1 in 8 registrations are significantly inaccurate or no longer valid
  • Approximately 12.7 million records nationwide appear to be out of date and no longer reflect the voter’s current information
  • 12 million records contain an incorrect address
  • Approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state
  • More than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters



Debate Three: Hillary's idea of government transparency is giving away America's military secrets to make herself look better

From the transcript here at The Washington Compost:

CLINTON: I -- I find it ironic that he's raising nuclear weapons. This is a person who has been very cavalier, even casual about the use of nuclear weapons. He's...

TRUMP: Wrong.

CLINTON: ... advocated more countries getting them, Japan, Korea, even Saudi Arabia. He said, well, if we have them, why don't we use them, which I think is terrifying.

But here's the deal. The bottom line on nuclear weapons is that when the president gives the order, it must be followed. There's about four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for launching nuclear weapons to do so. And that's why 10 people who have had that awesome responsibility have come out and, in an unprecedented way, said they would not trust Donald Trump with the nuclear codes or to have his finger on the nuclear button.

TRUMP: I have 200 generals...

Trump uses Al Smith dinner to get out his message against the establishment and their candidate, Hillary Clinton

See him here, and boy did they not like it.

What that was was Trump turning Alinsky against the Alinskyites.

By using the Al Smith venue he went outside the experience of the enemy. He was supposed to be funnier. Instead he was vicious. He used the unexpected event of the period to be unexpectedly less funny than he could have been. Such humor as there was was very good, and proves he's capable of it. He just didn't use it. Instead he chose confrontation.

And what really pissed the opposition off was that they were forced to listen to it, and broadcast it.

Advantage Trump.

Sex roulette: 20 million NEW cases of STDs diagnosed annually in US, but in reality almost one out of three people has an STD and probably multiple STDs

1.5 million cases of chlamydia, 0.4 million cases of  gonorrhea, and 0.024 million cases of syphilis. So what are the other 18.076 million cases, hm?

The YAHOO! story here never tells you.

THE TRUTH IS, AT LEAST 80 MILLION AMERICANS ARE WALKING AROUND RIGHT NOW WITH AT LEAST ONE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE.

In addition to the 1.924 million NEW cases mentioned, the additional 18.076 million NEW cases must come from among the 3.71 million current cases of Trichomoniasis (hey, she smells fishy down there), and from the 24.1 million current cases of HSV-2 (genital herpes), and from the 79.1 million current cases of HPV (causing most genital and anal cancers). That's not to mention the 0.908 million current cases of HIV and the 0.422 million current cases of Hepatitis B.

This means that there are in excess of 110 million infections with STDs right now in the United States in at least 79.1 million individuals, which is 25% of the total population and 31% of everyone 16 years of age and older.

Feelin' lucky?

Trump kills at the debate

A fighter is he.

And so is this guy.


Democrat Robert Creamer, exposed by O'Keefe for inciting violence at Trump rallies, met with Obama 47 times since 2009 in White House

Hm. There's that number again, 47.

Reported here:

Robert Creamer, who acted as a middle man between the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee and “protesters” who tried — and succeeded — to provoke violence at Trump rallies met with President Obama during 47 of those 342 visits, according to White House records. Creamer’s last visit was in June 2016.

Laugh of the Day: Chicom annual GDP growth rate 6.7% three quarters in a row!

Ah, the wonders of central planning!


Trump declares war on incumbents, calls for term limits of 6 years on US House, 12 years on US Senate, 5-year ban on lobbying

That's basically telling Justin Amash, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell they are fired, along with Dick Turban Durban, Nancy Pelosi, Chucky Shumer and that commie Jan Schakowsky, not to mention all the rest of them we love to hate.

Here's the lede:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Donald Trump served up a proposal to offer a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress in the first of two campaign stops planned in Colorado Tuesday.

Democrat National Committee employee and convicted felon Robert Creamer resigns after O'Keefe video shows him planning to pay people to incite violence at Trump rallies

Thinks you don't deserve to keep all your money
The Democrats have had no problem with the guy up to now even though he's a convicted felon. And guess who else has no problem with him? His wife, Democrat commie Representative Jan Schakowsky (IL-9):

See how fast Wikipedia updates itself:

Robert Creamer (born 1947) is an American political consultant, community organizer, and author. He is the husband of Jan Schakowsky, the Congressional Representative for Illinois's 9th congressional district. His firm, Democracy Partners, works with issue campaigns. He also leads the nonprofit group Americans United for Change.

In 2005, Creamer pleaded guilty to tax violations and $2.3 million in bank fraud in relation to his operation of public interest groups in the 1990s. He was convicted and sentenced to five months in prison at Terre Haute and eleven months house arrest. ...

In October 2016, James O'Keefe released a hidden-camera video appearing to show Creamer and other campaign staffers for Hillary Clinton hiring people to incite violence at rallies for her opponent, Donald Trump. Creamer also works for Democracy Partners. As a result of the video, Creamer announced his resignation from the Democratic National Committee.

Hillary aide Patrick Kennedy at State Dept. tried to bribe FBI to reclassify Benghazi document

From the story here:

We have here a clear pattern of corruption that makes Watergate look like child’s play. Hillary’s aide, Patrick Kennedy, tried to bribe the FBI to change the classification of a Benghazi document so as to enable Hillary’s false claim that she didn’t send or receive classified information on her illegal home server. The FBI, to its credit, refused. (James Comey wasn’t involved at that stage.)

Hillary’s aide then asked whether the FBI would be saying anything publicly about the classification issue. Once assured that the FBI would be silent, Hillary took the stage and alleged publicly, and falsely, that she never used her illegal home server to send or receive classified information. One wonders, too, how many critically important documents have been “archive[d] … in the basement of DoS [the State Department] never to be seen again,” based on bogus FOIA exemptions.

Donald Trump has his faults, but Hillary Clinton is far too corrupt to serve as President of the United States.

O'Keefe exposes violence at Trump rallies as deep Democrat operation, Real Clear Politics totally ignores the story

O'Keefe here:

Using hidden cameras, undercover journalists reveal key players coordinating clandestine operations in support of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The video, supported by emails recently released by WikiLeaks, shows that the dirty tricks, lines of communications and the money trail lead all the way to the top. The video discloses numerous examples of behind-the-scenes shady practices with consequences most Americans have seen on national television at Donald Trump campaign rallies across the country. What the media hasn’t reported is that the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee has been directing these activities . . ..

With 21 days to go to election day, Clinton is still winning in the Electoral College but by 6% fewer EC votes than last week

Last week the Real Clear Politics Electoral College map and the polling in the Toss-ups indicated a Clinton win 339-199.

Now with three weeks to go to election day Hillary's advantage has shrunk by 6%, now winning 321-217, and Trump is up by 9%.

Clinton today has 256 EC votes including 9 states which only lean her way.

Trump has 170 EC votes including 5 states which only lean his way.

ME-2 (+5.4) with 1 EC vote is in Trump's column, ME-1 (+19) with 1 EC vote is in Hillary's column.

Polling in the Toss-ups as of this hour has NV in the Clinton column by +2.5, MN by +4.3, NH by +3.6, NC by +2.7, and FL by +3.6. Her average lead is +3.3.

Libertarian Gary Johnson polls an average of 5.9 in these Clinton Toss-up states, in every case out-polling Clinton's actual leading margins, arguably helping Clinton win them. Green Party candidate Jill Stein polls 2.0 in MN, 2.0 in NH, and 1.4 in FL.

And in the Trump column are Toss-ups AZ by +1, IA by +3.7, IN by +4.5, and OH by +0.7. His average lead is +2.5.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein polls 1.5 in AZ, 1.7 in IA, and 2.3 in OH. Arguably Trump is winning in AZ and OH with Stein's help. Johnson polls 8.5 in AZ, 8.3 in IA, 10.0 in IN, and 6.5 in OH.

Overall Gary Johnson is polling an average of 7.0 in the nine Toss-up states and Stein an average of 1.8 in six of them compared with a combined average lead for Clinton or Trump of only 3.0.

Does the Libertarian Party or the Green Party have representation in Congress? If they're not a phenomenon of the people, maybe those parties shouldn't be allowed to spoil presidential elections by running candidates in the first place.

Politico's Glenn Thrush admits to being a Democrat hack working for Hillary, knows it's wrong for a journalist to do



Wikileaks' "ORCA100" has been trying to wake-up John Podesta and Hillary Clinton to the horrors of Muslim immigration: They won't be able to say they weren't warned




ORCA100 also has some other interesting e-mail contacts in addition to John Podesta's:

Moochelle campaigning against Hillary in 2008: If you can't run your own house you certainly can't run the White House

She says her husband's opponent is not what good role modeling looks like.

Hillary present at the debacles: Housing bubble, Great Recession, Iraq War, Surrender to Iran, Doubling of the Debt, puny GDP . . .

Conrad Black, here:

Hillary Clinton, though she would probably be an improvement on the recent past, represents continuity of what has been the most catastrophic 20 years of misgovernment in American history. She was there, as first lady, senator, secretary of state, or candidate, for the housing bubble and Great Recession, the terrible drain of Middle East war that delivered most of Iraq to Iran and produced a colossal humanitarian tragedy, the doubling of the national debt in seven years to produce one per cent annual economic growth while 15 million people dropped out of the work force, and the terrible fiascoes of the abandoned red line in Syria and the cave-in to Iranian nuclear military ambitions with a fig leaf of (unverifiable) deferral. But she is an able person, still carrying the torch of feminism, and she isn’t Trump.

Vote for Trump: Hillary and George W. Bush "a mutual admiration society for immigration reform" in addition to Iraq War

Rod Dreher climbs down in the gutter, impersonates Marco Rubio

Dreher's arguments against Trump in blog post after blog post aren't convincing some commenters, many of whom keep making persuasive defenses of the GOP's candidate for president.

The name calling, characteristic of liberals who can't defend their positions, you know, like Hillary for the last two weeks, tells you it's starting to get to Dreher a little bit.

On the limits and possibilities of individualism

"A person can no more invade Normandy than an army can play the violin."

FBI Director James Comey is a crook, a dirty cop: Insiders embarrassed by their boss

Story here.

Rod Dreher believes not only what he reads in WaPo, but also in The New York Times

Here, where Trump's latest accusers are out of the box "credible".

Commenter Bryan says:

I’m sorry Rod, but I feel compelled to say something that saddens me: I have lost respect for you over the way you’re covering this election.

Rasmussen shows Hillary going from +7 on Monday to Trump +2 today

Wikileaks?


The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.

With a month to go, just how close is the race for the White House according to the Real Clear Politics polling averages?

Leaning Trump: leads in TX, MO, IN, SC and ME-2 by an average of 8.3, average margin of error 3.9.

Leaning Clinton: leads in NM, CO, WI, MI, PA, VA, NH and NJ by an average of 7.9, average margin of error 4.0.

The race is a toss up in NV, AZ, MN, IA, OH, NC, GA and FL with an average lead of 2.6, average margin of error 3.9.

Trump at 165 Electoral College votes would have to capture all the toss-ups save either NV or IA to finish with 270, but winning MN seems like a stretch to me in that scenario. Winning all the toss-ups save MN puts Trump short at 266.

NH with 4 EC votes is Trump's likeliest take away focus among Clinton's "leaners" right now. Her +6 there has an average margin of error of 4.6.

Finally, the fighting Donald unbound: If Republican office holders won't support The Donald, WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM!


Roseanne Barr says Hillary's a murdering anti-Christian closet lesbian in love with Muslim Huma

What she said.

Pussy alert: Guess who I bumped into in the grocery store at 5:30 going into the olives aisle?

Joey Ramone grabs some pussy
My prick congressman, Justin Amash, another Republican member of the establishment who won't be voting for Donald Trump. Never met him before. He's what Doctor Demento would call a pencil-necked geek. If he had had some hair and dressed in a leather biker jacket he could have passed for Joey Ramone in those jeans and T-shirt I saw him wearing tonight, but no such luck.

I guess the servants had the night off and Justin had to shop for himself.

Yeah, I was in a hurry to shop for dinner and get home and make it, so we had no time to exchange unpleasantries.

Needless to say I won't be voting for that asshole, just to return the favor.

Go Trump!

And Joey is dead. Long live Joey.

What we're learning here is that it's Hillary who could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and still win

I know, I'm getting ahead of myself.

George Will steals half of my idea



And who is George Will to call anyone a sexual lout anyway?

With 28 days to election day, Hillary has expanded her Electoral College lead over Trump and is now projected to win 339-199

With 28 days to go to the election, Hillary has reset the Electoral College map from Real Clear Politics in the last week by adding four states to her blue column: PA, MI, WI, CO. This boosts her Electoral College total by 55 in the last week from 205 to 260. Trump has again added nothing to his column and still stands at 165.

That leaves 113 Electoral College votes in Toss-Up vs. 168 last week.

Of these, the polling as of this morning indicates Trump retains AZ by +1, IA by +3.7, GA by +5, and ME-2 by +8.7. OH has peeled off to Hillary, however, at 0.5, and Trump has lost ground in AZ and IA.

Hillary is winning NV by +1.4, MN by +4.3, NC by +2.6, FL by +2.4, and ME-1 by +3.8. She has lost ground in ME-1 and FL.

To Hillary's 260 therefore add 79 for a total of 339.

To Trump's 165 therefore add 34 for a total of 199.

As of this morning, Clinton's leads over Trump in NM, CO, WI, MI, NH and VA can be explained statistically by the vote peeled off from Trump by libertarian Gary Johnson. But this is not the case in CT, NJ and PA. Johnson also polls higher than the spread in all nine Toss-up states.

Once again Job One for libertarians is to spoil elections for Republicans.

Bob Dole isn't deserting Trump like John McCain & Co.

The better American, here.

Les Deplorables: A name for Hillary that rhymes with the three streets in Chicago "Paulina", "Melvina" and "Lunt"

The share paying for their own health insurance has soared 22% since 2013, by about 9 million, while the number covered by employers has actually fallen by 220,000

So says the table from Gallup, here. The 3.9 pt. difference in the share fully paying for their own coverage since 2013 represents a 22% increase.

How many was that in millions of people, you may ask.

In 2013 there were approximately 190 million Americans 18 to 64 years of age. 17.6% fully paying for their own coverage was approximately 33 million people at the time. Fast forward to 2016 and the number is now approaching 42 million. Meanwhile even though the sample population is up 3 million over the period, the number receiving coverage from an employer has actually fallen 220,000 to 83.76 million in 2016.

And as everyone knows who buys their own coverage, costs have soared. My costs since 2010 are up only 67%, but that's only because I chose higher deductibles as time went by. My deductible is now up 300%. Same plan, but it would now cost me $10,000 out of pocket instead of $2,500 in any emergency. Apart from that, everytime I need routine healthcare, like seeing a doctor to update a prescription, or the prescription itself, or glasses, or my teeth cleaned and checked, it's all on me.

So it's no surprise that apart from coverage costs soaring, healthcare services spending in unchained dollars of GDP is up 19% since 2012, from $1.836 trillion then to almost $2.185 trillion annualized as of the second quarter now. That's an extra almost $350 billion being spent on actual healthcare services consumption in the last four years, all coming out of consumers' pockets.

Obamacare has been a disaster to the budgets of millions of ordinary Americans.

The Rod Dreher snowflakes at The American Conservative are horrified by Trump's threat to appoint a special prosecutor

By the way – am I the only one freaked out at the fact that one candidate threatened to jail the other if he wins? What are we in Zimbabwe? Yet another thing nobody cares about. It’s all normal now. It’s unthinkable. Trump is openly threatening to weaponize federal government agencies against political opponents. Disqualifying reason #812. B-b-b-b-b-ut Clin-ton!!!

As if the federal government hasn't been weaponized against Republicans and conservatives throughout the Obama administration to a degree never before seen or imagined.
