I have been wondering if we are seeing some unintended consequences from the violent intimidation of Trump supporters by the Democrats. This intimidation was meant to chase off Trump voters, but what if all that happened is the supporters decided to run silent and deep, and await their turn at the ballot box. Let’s […]

I thought it might be interesting to look at just the recent polls until the election, since where we are heading over the next three weeks is more important than were we have been over the last few months. So here is the midday snapshot of the RCP polls for today, October 20th, 2016: We […]

Update_2: OK, here is the updated data and computations adding in two additional general election polls: Across all 7 polls HRC averaging 43.0% Trump averaging 40.3% Difference 2.7% That is clearly a tie race, and I did not remove the Bloomberg outlier. If I do then we get HRC averaging 42.3% Trump averaging 40.7% Difference […]

The John Podesta emails released by Wikileaks are by and large mundane. But occasionally you find a real stunner. In this case it is clear the contents of the classified emails that Hillary sent/received over her private server where known way outside the State Department. While preparing for a big email presser, team Clinton exposes […]

H/T to Watts Up With That for the image of the election season One thing the Wikileaks emails from John Podesta clearly show is that Hillary takes positions to get elected. Outside her need to be POTUS, she has nothing but a facade for her “public face”, and nothing but greed for her “private […]

It was a cringe-worthy moment in the debate. The question was spot on and challenged Clinton (a politician through and through) what she meant by having a private position (global trade, open borders) and a public position (what she needs to say to get elected). And like the klutzy politician she truly is, she tried […]

10:04 PM – Sorry folks, been under the weather all day. So far the debate is a draw or slightly towards Trump (because Clinton remains the status quo candidate in a anti-government election). The Trump Tapes have dissipated into some good discussions on real issues. So Trump survives (so far) and the media ‘sleaze guns’ […]

Someone at CNN just woke up and figured out what it is about Trump and his followers: If you think this latest controversy will finally beat him, you are wrong. If you can’t understand how someone could “still” vote for Trump after all “this,” consider what makes this such an unprecedented election. This election isn’t […]

OK, this poll really stunned me. I knew the media’s big ‘sleaze gun’ misfired, but this is a pretty amazing poll result. Of course, the ABC News headline screams: 43 Percent Of Americans Say Trump Should Withdraw From Presidential Race Given the headline, I was expecting the ‘Trump stay’ tally to be less than […]

The Political Industrial Complex* (PIC) brought out their big ‘sleaze guns’ and took their best shot at Donald Trump. As I posted earlier, other candidates from outside the PIC have similarly been challenged, and they were chased out of their elections (see Herman Cain for President). The ‘news media’ – the propaganda arm of […]
