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.
