The 2015 cost of Medicaid expansion for 10 million people: $63.66 billion

As reported here:

In a recent report to Congress, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the cost of expansion was $6,366 per person for 2015, about 49 percent higher than previously estimated. ... An estimated 9 million to 10 million people are covered by the Medicaid expansion, and many of the remaining uninsured are likely to be eligible if their states accept. Most of the new Medicaid recipients are low-income adults.

Anti-Trump Macy's closes 15% of stores (about 100) after sales decline six quarters straight

From the story here:

Neil Saunders, CEO of research firm Conlumino, said the Macy's store closures are "sensible," but largely the result of a "self-inflicted defeat."

Not a conservative A. Barton Hinkle complains Trump is not a conservative

Here.

What he means is Trump is not a libertarian. To Hinkle, Republican Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois is a "leading intellectual light" of conservatism.

There he goes again, Bogarting that joint.

Just another thing Obama has screwed up

The Hill saves Trump the trouble of compiling an enemies list

If Rush Limbaugh had done this good of a job defending Trump during the primaries, maybe the GOP would be more unified today

I'm referring to Rush today playing the audios of both Clinton and Biden actually talking about Obama being shot, either during the 2008 primary, in which case Hillary would have been the last man standing, or if Obama came for Biden's guns. 

Bloomberg poll shows Hillary at +6 in August, but in June she was . . .

. . . +12 . . . and +18 in March.

Just words from Hillary: Survivors of sexual assault have the right to be heard, the right to be believed

Unless you're a 12-year old girl from Arkansas, or someone who accused my husband, or . . ..

Video here of some remarks made last September in Iowa, during which she is quoted as saying:

"Today I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault," Clinton said. "Don't let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed and we're with you."

In 1975 Hillary Clinton laughed about getting a plea deal for this 12-year old girl's brutal rapist

And Bush-Republicans openly advocate a vote for Hillary?

Kathy Shelton, now 54, quoted in the story here:

A child rape victim says she cannot forgive Hillary Clinton for defending her rapist in court 40 years ago, saying the Democratic presidential candidate attacked her credibility despite knowing that her assailant was guilty – and  later laughed about it in a taped interview. ...

In a lengthy interview with the Daily Mail Online, Shelton said Clinton is 'lying' when she claims to be a lifelong defender of women and girls. ...

'Because after laughing on that tape, [Hillary's] pretty much stuck in knowing that she lied, knowing that it happened to me. And that tape's out there to be listened to by anybody.'

Trump rallies continue to dwarf Hillary rallies, but the left thinks "voter intensity" for the two is about equal, and low

Reported in The Nation, here, for what it's worth:

In 2012, 60 percent of Obama backers supported him “strongly” (the comparable figure for Romney supporters was 38 percent).

You’d be forgiven for thinking that this election has seen voter “intensity” reach new heights. However, a July poll found the level of “strong” support was about equal for both Clinton and Trump—and strikingly low: Pew found in that poll that “fewer than half of both candidates’ supporters said they backed their candidate strongly,” with 45 percent each. The equal proportions suggest intensity is not going to skew the poll results this year.

Look who's talkin': Susan Collins speaks up for decency and for the vulnerable but routinely votes to kill the unborn

CNN

An earlier generation of Americans would have found Susan Collins indecent and downright criminal.

Susan Collins, quoted here:

[R]ejecting the conventions of political correctness is different from showing complete disregard for common decency. Mr. Trump did not stop with shedding the stilted campaign dialogue that often frustrates voters. Instead, he opted for a constant stream of denigrating comments . . .

My conclusion about Mr. Trump’s unsuitability for office is based on his disregard for the precept of treating others with respect, an idea that should transcend politics. Instead, he opts to mock the vulnerable and inflame prejudices by attacking ethnic and religious minorities.

Do you really want a president who has trouble climbing the stairs by herself?

Not to mention can't tell the truth.

Update: WaPo here excuses the incident because it occurred WAY BACK IN FEBRUARY, and SHE JUST SLIPPED ON THE STAIRS.

OK, it's an older photo . . . of an old bag who can't navigate a stairway with railings without help. Same shit, different day.

So Clinton is +8 in the ABC poll in early August, but at the end of June she was +12

Showing once again that Clinton is not surging after the debacle in Philadelphia.
