begins by establishing how completely awful a candidate trump is, but then goes into how the democrats are the boys that cried wolf one too many times...


If you listen to Democrats, every Republican who has run for anything in my lifetime has Klan robes in their closet and secret Confederate memorabilia collection.

When Trump joked that maybe Russian President Vladimir Putin could find Clinton’s missing emails, the Hillary-friendly precincts of Twitter erupted with accusations of #TrumpTreason. In a nationally televised speech, Clinton’s obscure Obama-administration colleague Leon Panetta tut-tutted at an “irresponsible” Trump asking one of our “adversaries to engage in hacking … against the United States of America.”

Of course, foreign data theft is nothing to laugh at. But the pilferage of old yoga schedules and plans for a wedding long-consummated hardly seem the kind of thing to require the involvement of an old CIA director long-retired.

And, well, calling Russia an “adversary” seems unnecessarily dramatic. It wasn’t long-ago that Clinton’s obscure Obama-administration colleague Barack Obama was laughing at the previous wild-eyed lunatic nominated by Republicans as their presidential candidate. Mitt Romney had called Russia a “foe.”


“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years,” Obama smirked.



Before the convention, Hillary Clinton herself launched an attack on Trump that blew past titters and giggles and straight into guffaw territory. Trump is terrifying enough with the power of social media, she intoned, but “imagine if he had not just Twitter and cable news to go after his critics and opponents, but also the IRS."

Yes, imagine a president who would abuse the powers of the IRS. Not to paint Clinton with the unfair and overbroad brush of guilt by association, but the administration in which she served as secretary of State, twice, accidentally, released the private taxpayer information of its political opponents at moments that, perhaps inadvertently, were politically damaging. And then there was the “targeting” of the administration’s Tea Party opponents by the Obama administration IRS while Clinton was coincidentally serving as secretary of State. For non-political reasons no doubt, the Obama administration is still fighting in court to keep the full details of those events from the public eye.



Then on Thursday night in her big speech, Clinton attacked him again. She rightly pointed out that all a foreign leader has to do to get a rise out of Trump is launch a malicious tweet. God save us when Trump can respond to digital provocations by replying with megatons instead of megabytes. No tweet would ever get a response from Clinton. :lol She doesn't respond unless she gets served with a subpoena :lol; engraved in stone; in triplicate.

TRUMP BOLSTERS FOREIGN-POLICY TEAM BY ADDING CARSON AND PALIN

NEW YORK — After stumbling badly on an interview question about Ukraine, the Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump attempted on Tuesday to

reassure voters about his geopolitical expertise by adding the retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and the former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his team of foreign-policy advisers.

“Donald Trump always said that, as President, he would surround himself with the best people,” Trump’s spokesperson, Hope Hicks, said.

“In Governor Palin and Dr. Carson, Mr. Trump now has the Dream Team.”

Speaking to reporters, Palin dismissed the controversy over Ukraine as “much ado about a gotcha question.”

“Donald Trump is one hundred and ten percent correct when he says that no one needs to be worrying about Ukraine,” she said. “If you look Ukraine up on Google Maps, like I just did, it’s right where it’s always been.”

Dr. Carson said that, as President, Donald Trump would support the territorial integrity of Ukraine and “its magnificent network of underground grain tunnels.”

“I cannot overemphasize the importance of Ukraine’s grain pipeline,” he said. “If you choke off Ukraine, Europe cannot bake bread.”

Trump’s spokesperson said that the additions to his foreign-policy brain trust should give voters “great confidence” that a Trump White House would be equal to the challenge of an international crisis.

“When that 3 a.m. call comes in, and Mr. Trump is busy on Twitter, Dr. Carson and Governor Palin will be there to take the call,” she said.

There is something very wrong with Donald Trump

Why denigrate the parents (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ghazala-khan-donald-trump-criticized-my-silence-he-knows-nothing-about-true-sacrifice/2016/07/31/c46e52ec-571c-11e6-831d-0324760ca856_story.html) of a soldier who died serving his country in Iraq?

And why keep it going for four days?

Why assail the record (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/07/29/trump-attacks-retired-general-who-spoke-forcefully-against-him-at-the-democratic-national-convention/) of a decorated general who commanded U.S. forces in Afghanistan?

Why make fun of the stature of a popular former mayor (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-michael-bloomberg-226426) of New York?

Surely Trump must know that at any convention, including his own, people get up and criticize the opposition party’s nominee. They get their shots in, just as your party got its shots in. And then you move on to the next phase of the campaign.

You don’t take a crack at every single person who criticized you.

And you especially don’t pick fights that you can’t possibly win, such as against a grieving Gold Star mother or a general. It’s simply not in your interest to do so.

The fact that Trump could not help himself, that he clearly did, as

he said, want to “hit” (http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/28/politics/donald-trump-dnc-response/) everyone who spoke against him at the Democratic convention, suggests that there really is something wrong with the man.

It is not just that he is incapable of empathy.

It is not just that he feels he must respond to every criticism he receives by attacking and denigrating the critic, no matter how small or inconsequential.

If you are a Republican, the real problem, and the thing that ought to keep you up nights as we head into the final 100 days of this campaign, is that the man cannot control himself.

He cannot hold back even when it is manifestly in his interest to do so.

What’s more, his psychological pathologies are ultimately self-destructive.

It would explain why Obama's approval ratings are so high. People are getting a good look at this freak show of a presidential election we've had in the past year and realize just how good they have it now. The main reason Obama was elected in the first place had nothing to do with experience. It was temperament and that he acted like a reasonable, knowledgeable adult. Hillary clearly isn't trustworthy but at least she's knowledgeable and somewhat reasonable. Trump acts like he's still back in junior high making a payback hit list of people that slighted him...except he makes that list every goddamn day of his life.

He didn't even have to do it silently. A reasonable man would simply say "I'm sorry this family feels that way and I would never do anything to dishonor the service of our armed forces but these are difficult times we're in. I really don't want to take these measures but if these attacks keeps happening I'm keeping this option on the table".

That's a reasonable, adult response even people are vehemently against it. The backlash would have been nowhere near as severe but Trump just can't help himself. The man proves himself to be an idiot every day and I think he's more concerned with "ratings" more than anything.

Veteran gives Purple Heart to Trash

A military veteran presented Donald Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) with his Purple Heart ahead of his Tuesday rally in Virginia.

Trump, the Republican Party's presidential nominee, identified the man as a lieutenant colonel. The Purple Heart is a military award given to someone who is wounded or killed while serving.

“Man, that's big stuff,” Trump said. “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart — this was much easier. I'll tell you, it was such an honor.”

Trump opened the rally by taking out the medal and telling the crowd in Ashburn, Va., that “something very nice just happened to me.”

Trump advisor who wanted Clinton ‘shot’ smears Khizr Khan: ‘You disgraced your son’

New Hampshire state Rep. Al Baldasaro (R) came to the defense of Donald Trump on Tuesday for his remarks regarding the family of slain US Army Capt. Humayun Khan.Speaking to Khan’s father, Khizr, Baldasaro told WBIN-TV,

“You disgraced your son, who died as a hero. You used him as a political pawn to go after a candidate who you never met.”

“Donald Trump has every right to challenge Mr. Khan, because his personal agenda overruled his son being a warrior,” said Baldasaro, who advises Trump on veteran affairs.

“All of [Khan’s] fellow brothers want to kill Americans,” he said.

“Whether we like it or not, we have to wake up. They’re here in our country, and who’s next?”

Trump refuses to endorse Paul Ryan or John McCain amid rising GOP tensions

U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump ratcheted up tensions in his Republican Party on Tuesday, denying leading figures support in their re-election bids

President Barack Obama blasted Trump as unfit to be president and questioned why any Republican would support the New York businessman seeking his first public office.

“The question I think that they have to ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable: Why are you still endorsing him?”

Trump said he could endorse neither House Speaker Paul Ryan nor Senator John McCain, both of whom face Republican challengers in primary votes in their states ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.

Both lawmakers had rebuked Trump over his feud with the family of a slain Muslim-American Army Captain Humayun Khan.

Trash spokeswoman blames Obama for 2004 death of Captain Khan

Donald Trump’s spokeswoman blamed the policies of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the death of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, despite the fact that Khan died in 2004.

“It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life,” spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said in an interview Tuesday with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer.



Khan died during the presidency of George W. Bush, while Obama was a state senator in Illinois.

Runaway Trash Train Picks Up Speed As Aides Can’t Grab The Controls

Paul Manafort isn’t quitting, but is said to be “frustrated.” The RNC is distancing itself. Even Trump’s kids seem powerless.

WASHINGTON ― Paul Manafort (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/paul-manafort/), Donald Trash’s campaign chairman, has had success dealing with hard-to-manage dictatorial types, from Imelda Marcos of the Philippines, to Jonas Savimbi of Angola, to Victor Yanukovych of Ukraine.

But he is described by close friends as “frustrated” beyond measure by his inability to manage Tr (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/donald-trump/)ash in any sense.

Reince Preibus, (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/reince-priebus/) the pliable chair of the Republican National Committee, went to extraordinary lengths to legitimize The Donald ― but now the RNC is throwing up its hands and distancing itself.

Even longtime Tras friends ― he does have as few, such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani ―

shake their heads at what they regard as his self-destructive knack for saying awful things at the worst times.

And insiders say Trash’s children ― said to be a moderating influence at times ― have neither the political knowledge nor the clout with their dad to restrain him, assuming that they indeed wanted to.

In all, the world of Republican operatives, insiders and elected officials has concluded ― rather too late in the game ― that

GOP reaches ‘new level of panic’ over Trump’s candidacy

Turmoil in the Republican Party escalated Wednesday as party leaders, strategists and donors voiced increased alarm about the flailing state of Donald Trump’s candidacy and fears that the presidential nominee was damaging the party with an extraordinary week of

self-inflicted mistakes,

gratuitous attacks and

missed opportunities.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus was described as “very frustrated” with and deeply disturbed by Trump’s behavior over the past week, having run out of excuses to make on the nominee’s behalf to donors and other party leaders, according to multiple people familiar with the events.

Meanwhile, Trump’s top campaign advisers are struggling once again to instill discipline in their candidate, who has spent recent days lurching from one controversy to another while seemingly skipping chances to go on the offensive against his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

“A new level of panic hit the street,” said longtime operative Scott Reed, chief strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s time for a serious reset.”

Trump allies on Wednesday publicly urged the candidate to reboot, furious that he has allowed

his confrontation with the Muslim parents of dead Army Capt. Humayun Khan to continue for nearly a week.

They also are angry with Trump because of his

refusal in an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday to endorse two of the GOP’s top elected officials — House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) — ahead of their coming primary elections.

Trump Mistakenly Claims He Saw Video Of Cash Being Delivered To Iran

Donald Trump appeared to claim Wednesday that he saw footage of American cash being unloaded off of a plane in Iran, but

While reporting on the $400 million payment (http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-cash-to-iran-as-americans-were-freed-1470181874) from the United States to Iran that was part of a settlement for a failed decades-old arms deal, Fox News played footage that's been labeled as the scene of American hostages arriving in Geneva in January, according to the Washington Post.

But during a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, Trump seemed to think that the footage was taken in Iran.

"Remember this: Iran — I don't think you heard this anywhere but here — Iran provided all of that footage, the tape of taking that money off the airplane,"

Trump said, according to the Post. "Right?"

Donald Trump on Wednesday described vivid details from a video he said he had watched earlier in the day of Iranian officials unloading cash from an airplane. The money was part of a payment, announced earlier this year, from the U.S. to Iran to settle a decades-old dispute over an incomplete weapons sale.



Trump described the video as being very clear, steady, and good quality. Trump also stated that the tape had been released to “embarrass America.”

“Over there, where that plane landed, top secret, they don’t have a lot of paparazzi, you know,” Trump said. “The paparazzi doesn’t do so well over there.” But “they have a perfect tape, obviously done by a government camera, and the tape is of the people taking the money off the plane. It’s a military tape. It’s a tape that was a perfect angle, nice and steady.”


The trouble is … there is no such tape. Not publicly anyway. So if Trump is describing an actual tape, it’s one that only he saw, possibly as part of a briefing.

Republicans think Trump might quit — so they’re scrambling to find a replacement: ABC News

Republican officials are so angry at Donald Trump and his imploding campaign that they’re considering replacing him at the top of the ticket just two weeks after nominating him.

Jon Karl, the chief White House correspondent for ABC News, reported Wednesday morning that Republican officials were scrambling to plan for the possibility that Trump might suddenly quit the presidential race.

“This is absolutely unprecedented,” Karl reported. “First of all, I am told RNC chairman Reince Priebus is furious, that he has had multiple discussions with Trump telling him he needs to drastically change course. But here’s the news, I am told senior officials at the party are actively exploring what would happen if Trump dropped out, how to replace him on the ballot.”

Karl said the Republican Party could not force Trump out of the race now that he’s their nominee, but he might solve their problem by dropping out.

“He would have to go out voluntarily, then it would be the 168 members of the RNC, through a complicated process, that would pick a new candidate,” Karl said. “It would have to happen by early September.”

A stunned George Stephanopoulos, the Good Morning America host, asked if that was a real possibility.

“He is so unpredictable right now, they are so unable to control his message, that they just don’t know and clearly think it is a possibility, which is why they’re looking at these rules,” Karl said.

Paul Ryan: ‘The Comments Donald Trump Will Make Over The Next Few Months Are Regrettable’

WASHINGTON — Saying he will be shocked and saddened by the statements of his party’s presidential nominee, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan told reporters Thursday the comments Donald Trump will make over the next several months are “highly regrettable.”

“I want to make clear that the remarks Donald Trump will say in the weeks ahead are unfortunate and do not reflect the views of the Republican Party,”

said Ryan, who noted that while he did not agree with the “harmful and divisive” language Trump would choose to use between now and the election, he believed he could work with the candidate to enact a strong conservative platform.

“Mr. Trump will take some distressing and morally indefensible positions during the remainder of his candidacy and, if the election goes as we hope, his presidency.

I trust that we can move on from these regrettable lapses in judgment that will continue on a regular basis and get back to the issues that matter.”

Addressing recent inflammatory comments made by the GOP nominee, Ryan added that he just had a productive conversation identical to the dozens more he will have over the next three months with Trump.

D.N.C. HEADQUARTERS MOBBED BY REPUBLICAN REFUGEES SEEKING ASYLUM

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A humanitarian crisis has been unfolding over the past week as Republican refugees seeking asylum have overrun the Democratic National Committee headquarters, in Washington, D.C.

D.N.C. staffers have confirmed that they were woefully unprepared for the masses of desperate Republicans who have shown up at the D.N.C.’s door, looking for safe harbor.

“These people have been brutalized for months and have decided to risk everything to save themselves and their families,”

D.N.C. staffer Tracy Klugian said.

“When they tell you their stories, they are absolutely heartbreaking.”

Meg Whitman, who is sixty, said she left her entire life as a Republican behind after

witnessing unspeakable horrors under the new G.O.P. regime.

Taking comfort from a blanket and a cup of coffee provided by D.N.C. staffers, Whitman appeared to be in a state of shock about where life under a failed state had brought her.

“I never thought I’d find myself in a place like this,” she said as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings of the D.N.C. headquarters. “Still, anything has to be better than where I came from.”

When asked if she had any regrets about her decision to flee, Whitman choked back tears before responding. “I had no choice,” she said. “There is no respect for human life there.”

Clinton surges to big lead in McClatchy-Marist poll (http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article93763582.html)

Hillary Clinton has surged to a 15-point lead over reeling, gaffe-plagued Donald Trump, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/15656fae09e93784?projector=1).

Clinton made strong gains with two constituencies crucial to a Republican victory – whites and men — while scoring important gains among fellow Democrats, the poll found.


Clinton not only went up, but Trump went down. Clinton now has a 48-33 lead, a huge turnaround from her narrow 42-39 advantage last month.

Methodology

The LongRoom Polling Analysis uses the latest voting data from each state's Secretary of State or Election Division. The voting data is kept current by incorporating the latest updates from each state as they become available. This means that the LongRoom Polling Analysis accurately reflects the actual voting demographics, precinct by precinct, county by county, and state by state.
Because the LongRoom Polling Analysis is exclusively data based, it makes it possible to demonstrate from the crosstabs of an individual poll whether that poll is either left or right leaning.
The analysis of the polls of each polling organization and the associated bias is illustrated in a line chart. The most recent poll results are displayed separately and a graphic representation of the amount the poll leans either left or right is shown.
The graphs below cover the last three presidential elections and show the LongRoom Polling Analysis of polls for those elections. In all cases, the LongRoom Analysis was accurate to within +/- 0.3%.

Will Donald Trump Sink Republicans in Senate Races?

Republicans have become increasingly alarmed at the prospect that Trump may be a major liability for several GOP senators up for re-election.

While many GOP Senate seats were already in play before Trump became the nominee, the polarizing candidate at the top of the ticket makes it harder for GOP Senate candidates facing voters in November.

"That's the reality," former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Thursday.

"Candidates have to answer for whatever issues they need to deal with in their state.

They don't want layered on top of that the latest musings of a highly controversial presidential nominee.

You don't want the microphone stuck in your face asking you about that, too," said Steele.

"They just can't afford to have the extra baggage on what is already a difficult re-elect."

The presidential contest always plays an enormous role in how Americans cast their votes in "down-ballot" races for Senate, governor, Congress, city council, and so on.

If a voter chooses a party's presidential candidate, research shows, that voter will probably stick with that party all the way down the ballot.

They Built That: How The GOP Paved The Way For Donald Trump's Election-Rigging Conspiracy Theory

Trump has also benefited from Republicans’ frequent insistence that Democrats use voter fraud to win elections.

Republican lawmakers have brushed aside studies that show that voter fraud (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/09/7-papers-4-government-inquiries-2-news-investigations-and-1-court-ruling-proving-voter-fraud-is-mostly-a-myth/)is (http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2016/apr/07/mark-pocan/which-happens-more-people-struck-lightning-or-peop/) extremely (http://www.pfaw.org/rww-in-focus/the-right-to-vote-under-attack-the-campaign-to-keep-millions-of-americans-from-the-ball?&_ga=1.202590290.238700556.1470327981#is)rare (http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/07/the-voter-fraud-fraud/?_r=0) — just 31 out of over a billion votes cast over 14 years (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/08/06/a-comprehensive-investigation-of-voter-impersonation-finds-31-credible-incidents-out-of-one-billion-ballots-cast/)may have been instances of voter impersonation — and instead have pursued sweeping legislation that would disenfranchise (https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/New_Restrictions_2016.pdf) thousands (https://www.thenation.com/article/north-carolinas-voter-id-law-could-block-218000-registered-voters-from-the-polls/) of (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/kris-kobach-thinks-disenfranchising-12000-voters-isnt-major-problem) voters (https://www.thenation.com/article/wisconsins-voter-id-law-could-block-300000-registered-voters-from-the-polls/), particularly people of color (http://www.citylab.com/politics/2016/02/research-more-conclusive-that-voter-id-laws-hurt-blacks-and-latinos/459819/) and young people (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/09/gao-voter-id-laws-in-kansas-and-tennessee-dropped-2012-turnout-by-over-100000-votes/).

The GOP presidential candidate has told (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/donald-trumps-new-conspiracy-theory-general-election-might-be-rigged) supporters (http://www.vox.com/2016/8/2/12350534/trump-warns-rigged-election-clinton) that November’s election results will likely be “rigged” as people go “ to vote 10 times maybe (http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/08/02/ap-trump-people-without-id-will-vote-10-times/)” and charged that “phony (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/290124-trump-theres-something-phony-about-these-polls)” polls underrepresent his level of support because they don’t reflect his the size of the crowds (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-polling-226649) at his rallies.

Nonetheless, Trump believes that if he loses in November, it will be because the election was stolen (http://www.vox.com/2016/8/2/12342600/trump-rigged-clinton-steal-election): “I hope the Republicans are watching closely or it’s going to be taken away from us.”

Earlier this year, Trump said that people around the country “are voting many, many times (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/58-donald-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-counting-definitive-trump-conspiracy-guide#elections).”

He once blamed President Obama’s re-election victory on votes from “dead people (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/58-donald-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-counting-definitive-trump-conspiracy-guide#elections).”

Around (http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/12/04/1281731/49-percent-republicans-acorn/) half (http://www.newsweek.com/poll-majority-republicans-believe-acorn-stole-presidential-election-210966) of GOP voters believe that Obama stole both of his election victories, a result of years of conservative complaints about how Democrats win elections thanks to massive fraud.

Besides voter impersonation, many Republicans claim that undocumented immigrants are illegally voting in elections.

Then-Rep. Michele Bachmann claimed that Obamaunlawfully granted the right to vote to millions of undocumented immigrants before the 2012 election (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/bachmann-congress-needs-spank-president-and-take-away-his-magic-wand), even though Obama’s executive order on deportations did not grant anyone the right to vote (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/fact-check-obamas-reprieve-for-illegal-immigrants/).

Fox News pundits have also raised the specter of undocumented immigrants illegally (http://mediamatters.org/research/2015/10/13/fox-news-uses-new-california-voter-registration/206104) voting (http://www.snopes.com/california-motor-voter-act/), even though in states like Arizona, there have only been two cases (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/18/arizona-voter-fraud_n_4296907.html) of undocumented residents voting in about 10 years.

Several conservative (http://mediamatters.org/blog/2012/10/02/hannity-asks-caller-if-hes-voting-for-obama-to/190286) commentators (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/tony-perkins-gets-debunked-his-own-show) have even (http://mediamatters.org/video/2012/11/08/mark-steyn-explains-to-foxs-doocy-how-dems-win/191258) alleged (http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/05/29/fox-returns-to-obamaphone-myth-weeks-after-obam/203817) that the Obama administration tried to win votes by handing out free cellphones.

Donald Trump has never met a conspiracy theory that he doesn’t like. This one was handed to him on a silver platter by the party that is now trying to distance itself from his wildest claims.

Republicans Terrified As White Working Class Voters Are Abandoning Donald Trump

The fact that white working class voters are dumping Donald Trump is the source of the deep panic that is sweeping through the Republican Party.

Ed Kilgore of New York Magazine (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/08/trumps-new-white-working-class-woes.html?mid=twitter-share-di) pointed out Trump’s troubling drop with white working class voters, “A new NBC/Wall Street Journal survey showed his lead among non-college-educated white voters dropping to 49-36.

Similarly, McClatchy/Marist pegs it at 46-31. These are not world-beating numbers.

And you have to wonder: If Trump is losing his special appeal to the voting category that has long been his campaign’s signature “base,” where is he supposed to make that up?”

With Trump getting crushed with women, Hispanic, and African-American voters, his campaign has nowhere to go to make up any support that he loses with white working class voters.

Recent polling showed white voters and male voters moving towards Hillary Clinton. (http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/04/whites-men-flee-donald-trump-hillary-clinton-opens-massive-15-point-lead.html)

There is literally nowhere for Trump to go to get the votes that he needs to win the White House if he doesn’t dominate with white working class voters.

“Well, I suppose it’s improving if you consider that he’s no longer in a fight with a Gold Star family, but no, these are bad numbers, and it isn’t early in the campaign,” Wallace said as he smirked before stating that the campaigns are about to go into a holding pattern while the public finds something more “sensible” to do with their spare time.

He's clearly doing it for ratings. His ratings on TV and radio took a massive dip the last few years costing him is 9pm EST slot on Fox News to Megyn Kelly and the nationally syndicated radio 2-6pm EST to Michael Savage so he basically became one of the biggest Trumpbots on TV defending him left and right and it has helped his ratings in the short-term. However, Fox News as a whole is getting more competition from CNN than ever before.

Here's How the GOP Would Fill A Vacancy on the Presidential Ticket

Donald Trump sought to reassure the party he now leads, telling a rally in Florida Wednesday evening that

"the campaign is doing really well" and "it's never been so well united."

the party does have rules to deal with a vacancy on the ticket, here's how it would work:

Rule 9 of the Republican Party rules covers 'filling vacancies in nominations."

It says that the Republican National Committee is "authorized and empowered to fill and all vacancies, which may occur by reason of death, declination, or otherwise" of the candidate.

Under the rules, the Republican National Committee has two options. It could reconvene the entire convention - all 2437 delegates.

Or, a much more likely options, would be to convene the Republican National Committee's 168 members, consisting of 3 members from each state and territory, to represent the delegates.

Each member would represent one-third of the number of delegates awarded in each state and cast a vote for a presidential candidate.

The GOP leadership is probably praying for Hillary to take a 20-point lead in the polls, causing Trump to have a breakdown and quit the race. It's their best shot at the Presidency at this point. Clinton is +6.8 in the RCP average and a 75% favorite in the 538 polls-plus prediction model

The "convention bounce" can't be the main reason behind the latest polls. Almost every Sanders supporter and moderate who was open to the possibility of Trump being metaphorically nuts, now probably realizes that he is close to clinically insane.

The decision of the Presidential Debate Commission to hold two of the general election debates on nights that conflict with high profile NFL games — and their refusal to reconsider the scheduling — raises the question of pro-Hillary/anti-Trump bias on the Commission.

By deliberately setting the debate dates opposite highly popular football games, the Commission seems to be angling to cut the viewership of white males, a key voting group generally supporting Trump, in a bid to reduce their interest in the election.

While theoretically bipartisan, the Commission is currently dominated by high profile Hillary supporters and Republicans who oppose Donald Trump — elite insiders. So, in sum, it about as anti-Trump as a commission can get.





And the Commission also chooses the moderators for the debates. Look for a Hillary-friendly choice.

Take a look at some of the "non-partisan" members:

The two co-chairmen are Mike McCurry, Bill Clinton's press secretary and Frank Fahrenkopf, who held the same post under Reagan. Sounds fair? Look closer.

Fahrenkopf is 90-years-old and well past his prime. His co-chair? Mike McCurry, 62, who remains a vigorous defender of the Clintons working especially hard to ward off negative stories.

When you check out the rest of the Commission's board, it gets worse. Honorary Chairman? Former President Jimmy Carter.

The Board also includes:

Paul Kirk, former Democratic National Chairman, a long-time aide to Ted Kennedy who took his Senate seat after his death.

Former journalist Charles Gibson who crucified Sarah Palin with sexist questions during her inaugural 2008 national television interview.
Howard G. Buffett, son of billionaire Warren Buffet, who has endorsed Hillary and worked with the Clinton Foundation and side-by-side with Hillary at the State Department's Global Hunger Conference. His father has endorsed Hillary and recently campaigned for her.



Antonia Hernandez, a Scholar in Residence at the Clinton School of Public Service Center former president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), a national nonprofit litigation and advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the civil rights of Latinos.

And the Republicans are hardly Trump supporters or even neutral.

Former Republican Sen. John C. Danforth who publicly stated that he wants Donald Trump to leave the Republican Party.

Former Democratic Congresswoman Jane Harman who endorsed Hillary in 2008 and, as head of the Woodrow Wilson Institute, gave her an award.

John Griffen, hedge fund manager, who donated to both President Obama and Mitt Romney, two Trump opponents.

Jim Lehrer, a noted, but also liberal news commentator

Former Republican Sen. Olympia Snow who said Trump is hurting the Republican brand.

Rockefeller Foundation head Richard Parsons who said Trump was not "presidential timber."





Leon Panetta, former Clinton Chief of Staff, served on the board when the dates for these debates were set. Panetta, of course was Bill Clinton's chief of Staff.

It's very hard to see how Trump could ever get an even break from these members. And he didn't.

Poll: Clinton's Lead Over Trump Narrows to Less Than 3 Points

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Republican rival Donald Trump narrowed to less than 3 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday, down from nearly eight points on Monday.

About 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton, to Trump's 39 percent, according to the July 31-Aug. 4 online poll of 1,154 likely voters. The poll had a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percentage points, meaning that the results suggest the race is roughly even.

Noonan: The Week They Decided Donald Trump Was Crazy

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-week-they-decided-he-was-crazy-1470354031?mod=e2fb

I think this week marked a certain coming to terms with where the election is going. Politics is about trends and tendencies. The trends for Donald Trump (http://topics.wsj.com/person/T/Donald-Trump/159) are not good, and he tends not to change.

All the damage done to him this week was self-inflicted. The arrows he’s taken are arrows he shot. We have in seven days witnessed his undignified and ungrateful reaction to a Gold Star family; the odd moment with the crying baby; the one-on-one interviews, which are starting to look like something he does in the grip of a compulsion, in which Mr. Trump expresses himself thoughtlessly, carelessly, on such issues as Russia, Ukraine and sexual harassment; the relitigating of his vulgar Megyn Kelly comments from a year ago; and, as his fortunes fell, his statement that he “would not be surprised” if the November election were “rigged.” Subject to an unprecedented assault by a sitting president who called him intellectually and characterologically unfit for the presidency, Mr Trump fired back—at Paul Ryan and John McCain (http://topics.wsj.com/person/M/John-McCain/6226).

https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-PG337_noonan_P_20160804170645.jpg

PHOTO: CHAD CROWE

The mad scatterbrained-ness of it was captured in a Washington Post interview with Philip Rucker in which five times by my count—again, the compulsion—Mr. Trump departed the meat of the interview to turn his head and stare at the television. On seeing himself on the screen: “Lot of energy. We got a lot of energy.” Minutes later: “Look at this. It’s all Trump all day long. That’s why their ratings are through the roof.” He’s all about screens, like a toddler hooked on iPad.

Mr. Trump spent all his time doing these things instead of doing hisjob: making the case for his policies, expanding on his stands, and taking the battle to Hillary Clinton (http://topics.wsj.com/person/C/Hillary-Clinton/6344).

By the middle of the week the Republican National Committee was reported to be frustrated, party leaders alarmed, donors enraged. There was talk of an “intervention.”

Here is a truth of life. When you act as if you’re insane, people are liable to think you’re insane. That’s what happened this week. People started to become convinced he was nuts, a total flake.

It was there in the polls. Fox News shows Mrs. Clinton with a 10-point lead, with Mr. Trump at 78% of the Republican vote, compared with Mitt Romney (http://topics.wsj.com/person/R/Mitt-Romney/6591)’s 93% in 2012. Mr. Romney won the white vote by 20 points; Mr. Trump is ahead by 10. “High-end Republicans are walking away,” says a GOP oppo guy. “Who is choking now?” The battleground states, too, have turned bad.

This is what became obvious, probably fatally so: Mr. Trump is not going to get serious about running for president. He does not have a second act, there are no hidden depths, there will be no “pivot.” It is not that he is willful or stubborn, though he may be, it’s that he doesn’t have the skill set needed now—discretion, carefulness, generosity, judgment. There’s a clueless quality about him. It’s not that he doesn’t get advice; it’s that he can’t hear advice, can’t process it or turn it into action.

“He’ll reach out, he’ll start to listen. He’ll change, soften.” No, he won’t. Nor will he start to understand that his blunders are a form of shown disrespect for his own supporters. They put themselves on the line for him, many at some cost. What he’s giving them in return is a strange, bush-league, pull-it-out-of-your-ear, always-indulge-your-emotions campaign. They deserve better.

And while Mr. Trump was doing this, Mrs. Clinton was again lying about her emails, reminding us there’s crazy there, too. She insisted to Chris Wallace that FBI director James Comey endorsed her sincerity and veracity. No he didn’t, and everyone knows he didn’t. She’d have spent the past week defending her claims if it weren’t for Mr. Trump’s tireless attempts to kill Mr. Trump.

His supporters hope it will all turn around in the debates: He’ll wipe the floor with her; for the first time she’ll be toe-to-toe with someone who speaks truth to power. But why do they assume this? Are theywatching Mrs. Clinton? She doesn’t look very afraid of him. “No, Donald, you don’t,” she purred in her acceptance speech. In debate she’ll calmly try to swat him away, cock her head, look at the moderator, smile. She’ll be watching old videos of Reagan-Carter in 1980: “There you go again.”

She is aware no one believes she’s honest and trustworthy. If there’s one thing Mrs. Clinton knows it’s how to read a poll. She has accepted that people understand her. Her debate approach will be this: In spite of what will no doubt be some uncomfortable moments, she will, in comparison with him, seem sturdy and grounded—normal. That, this week, could be her bumper sticker: “Hillary: Way Less Abnormal.”

It must be said that all this is so strange on so many levels.

Donald Trump is said to be in love with the idea of success, dividing the world between winners and losers. But he just won big and couldn’t take yes for an answer.

He got it all, was the unique outsider who shocked the entire political class with his rise. He should be the happiest man in the world, not besieged and full of complaint. All he had to do was calm down, build bridges, reach out, reassure, be gracious. In fairness, he could not unite the party. That isn’t possible now—it is a divided party, which is why it had 17 candidates. Mr. Trump won with just less than half the vote, an achievement in a field that big, but also while representing policies that the formal leadership of the party in Washington finds anathema. He was the candidate who would control illegal immigration, who wouldn’t cut entitlements, who opposes an interventionist foreign policy, who thinks our major trade deals have not benefited Americans on the ground. And he won, big time.

From what I’ve seen there has been zero reflection on the part of Republican leaders on how much the base’s views differ from theirs and what to do about it. The GOP is not at all refiguring its stands. The only signs of life I see are among young staffers on Capitol Hill, who understand their bosses’ stands have been rebuked and are quietly debating among themselves what policy paths will win the future.

Beyond that, anti-Trump Republicans treat his voters like immoral enablers of a malignant boob. Should Mr. Trump lose decisively in November they’ll lord it over everyone, say “I told you so,” and accept what they imagine will be forelock-tugging apologies. Then they will get to work burying not only Mr. Trump but his issues.

That’s where the future of the GOP will be fought, and found: on whether Trumpism can be defeated along with Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump would care about that if he cared about that.

I end with a new word, at least new to me. A friend called it to my attention. It speaks of the moment we’re in. It is “kakistocracy,” from the Greek. It means government by the worst persons, by the least qualified or most unprincipled. We’re on our way there, aren’t we? We’re going to have to make our way through it together.

Ex-CIA chief claims Putin is ‘playing’ Trump: He’s ‘manipulated people much smarter than him’

A former CIA director asserted on Sunday that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is definitely being used by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin who plays upon the candidate’s vanity.Appearing on ABC’s This Week, former CIA head Mike Morell noted that Putin’s career in the KGB gives him an edge in dealing with Trump.

“He’s a trained intelligence officer, worked for the KGB, very talented, manipulated people much smarter than Donald Trump,” Morell explained.

“He played this perfectly. He saw that Donald Trump wanted to be complimented. He complimented him.

That led Donald Trump to then compliment Vladimir Putin and to defend Vladimir Putin’s actions in a number of places around the world.”

“And Donald Trump didn’t even realize that Putin was playing him,” he continued. “So, in Putin’s mind, I have no doubt that Putin thinks he’s an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation — although Putin would never say that.”

Trump Has Another Bad Day As John Kasich Reminds America That The GOP Nominee Is A Liar

Gov. John Kasich went on CNN today and called out Donald Trump for lying about not offering him the VP slot on his ticket. Kasich’s appearance was a reminder that Donald Trump is a liar who lies’ about anything and everything.

The Trump campaign has insisted that there was never an offer on the table for Kasich to be vice president, but that is clearly a lie. If Trump holds true to form, he will soon take to Twitter to attack the Republican governor of Ohio, and he will attack Kasich at his upcoming rallies.

How are people getting 50 percent from? Is nowhere near that.

Trump Campaign Ponders Going Negative

NEW YORK — Saying they weren’t afraid to take the gloves off for the general election if need be, the campaign team for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reportedly considered the possibility Monday of pivoting their strategy and going negative.

“We’ve tried to run a clean campaign that we can all take pride in, but if we’re truly serious about winning this thing, now might be the time to drop the nice guy act and get a little dirty,” said campaign chairman Paul Manafort, adding that the candidate should at the very least consider ramping up personal attacks on his opponents, even if the tactic feels slightly underhanded.

“Ideally, we would continue to stay the course and keep everything upstanding and aboveboard, but in politics, you sometimes have to hit below the belt.

Just because it isn’t the way we’re used to operating doesn’t mean we should dismiss the idea of getting into the mud to help our cause.”

At press time, Manafort acknowledged that Trump supporters might be unsettled by the dramatic shift in tone, but expressed hope that his candidate’s reputation could handle any blowback.

The epitome of Republican ideology (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/8/7/1556318/-The-epitome-of-Republican-ideology)

Donald Trump is hardly the first Republican to go after the press, but he is the most open about his antipathy. He is the least willing to hide his contempt for the press and by proxy, for the American people. Because the press is there to ask the questions to which we need to know the answers. So when he shuts out the Washington Post or theNew York Times, he shuts us out as well.

Nor is Trump the first Republican to attack our military service members. The self-proclaimed party of national security hasn’t been one for at least a generation and-a-half, ever since they discovered the greater rewards offered by government contractors. The Republicans will vote down funding for Veterans’ Administration budgets that care for our wounded fighters. They will vote for any possible cut to military compensation, either direct pay or benefits, in order to continue funding big expensive weapons systems, even those that the Department of Defense does not want (http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/01/28/pentagon-tells-congress-to-stop-buying-equipment-it-doesnt-need.html), and, it seems, especially those that do not work (http://www.forbes.com/sites/lorenthompson/2011/12/19/how-to-waste-100-billion-weapons-that-didnt-work-out/#76ab7e582615).

Republicans, led by Phylis Schlafly, won the fight against the Equal Rights Amendment during the 1980s. Henry Hyde was a Republican when he introduced and passed the Hyde Amendment that prohibited the spending of federal tax dollars for abortions, taking away the choice of poor women. And Republicans in states across the nation have been hard at work trying to take away the right of all women to control their own bodies. They have been at war with women for most of my adult life. So is it any wonder that Donald Trump is running on a platform of denigrating women? Of suggesting that sexual harassment is up to the individual to handle? Isn’t he merely articulating what the GOP has always been thinking?

He is not the only Republican that wants that wall built. John McCain appeared with the self-styled minutemen on the Arizona border, where that state’s governor claimed immigrants were beheading people and littering the desert with their body parts. The GOP has come a long way toward complete surrender to xenophobia since Ronald Reagan signed the immigration reform bill in 1986, and when George H.W. Bush extended amnesty (http://www.prwatch.org/news/2014/11/12678/what-right-wing-media-gets-wrong-about-reagans-and-bushs-executive-orders) to an additional 1.5 million people in 1990.

Yes, Trump is the walking, talking manifestation of the right-wing ideology that has taken control of the Republican Party. His candidacy, which daily looks to implode, is not an outlier. He is mainstream GOP, with communication skills amplified by Hannity, O’Reilly, Coulter, and Limbaugh.

“They not only changed their formula, to put Hillary ahead. They went back and changed the results, for a week of results where Trump was ahead, and then they turned those into Hillary leads,” said Caddell. “They also erased all the former polling off the site. They didn’t tweak their procedure – they cooked it.”

“Never in my life have I seen a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll, do something so dishonest,” Caddell continued. “What they have done is, they decided the people who said, ‘oh, I’m never for someone’ – oh, those must be Hillary votes. They used to be Trump voters.”

Trump pollster: 'There's a big hidden Trump vote'

"We think there's a big hidden Trump vote in this country," said Conway, who added that Trump internal polls project "tighter" results in battleground states.

Her comments echoed those from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake who during the Democratic convention said that her side sees a secret Trump vote among white males.

"I worry that there is a bit of a secret Trump vote," said the influential pollster at an event attended by Secrets.

She has proof revealed in polls that find more white male support when live people are doing the interviewing and less support for Clinton in anonymous online surveys.

"The pattern is in the online surveys, even if you control for demographics, Trump does three to nine points better than in telephone surveys. So it really does suggest that there is a secret vote for Donald Trump," said Lake.

Trump has had a really bad week, but I question what are "likely voters" if Trump is supposedly bringing out people who have never voted. It's too far out to be obsessing so about polls. And isn't Gallup not doing any election polls this year because they were so off last cycle?

Not sure what Gallup has to do with other surveys' likely voter calculations, but yes, Gallup predicted Romney in 2012 and were pro-Republican by 7.2 points.


In late October, Gallup consistently showed Mr. Romney ahead by about six percentage points among likely voters, far different from the average of other surveys. Gallup’s final poll of the election, which had Mr. Romney up by one point, was slightly better, but still identified the wrong winner in the election.

I did not say 50% more. Here is my math:

WP/ABC:
33 - 23 = 10. 10/23 = 43.4% more Democrats than Republicans.

2015 Gallup:
29 - 26 = 3. 3/26 = 11.5% more Democrats than Republicans.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/188096/democratic-republican-identification-near-historical-lows.aspx

Either your math or your reading comprehension (or both) is off. No need to feel bad for my kids.

Ok, in the most generous of readings, I'll concede your "43.4%" math (not 50% as fucknut claimed). But using that "number" in a vacuum, ignoring historical data, ignoring the severe split in the Republican party, and ignoring what has happened the last two weeks, is completely disingenuous.

https://i.imgur.com/ZnFuJXi.png (http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/party-identification)

Citing 2015 Gallup is cherrypicking useless information. The chart above is "poll of polls" the past 8 years. The smallest spread was +5D in May 2011.

Last 2 Presidential election cycles were +6D and +7D. So +10D in a single poll after Trump has had the worst two weeks in his entire campaign and the party is split on a drastic fault line, is completely reasonable and/or within the margin of error. It isn't some grand conspiracy.

Nate Silver needs to retire and let TSA, rmt and ducks take over as poll statisticians. Squirrel-head is acting mentally unstable and driving away longtime Republicans, and you people think it's the pollsters' and media's fault?
