    Latest polls set the stage for a historic presidential election

    “I don’t know if you’ve seen what’s happening,” the Republican said, “but over the last three weeks, the polls with African American folks and Spanish-speaking folks, the Hispanics, Latinos, have gone way up. Way up. They’ve gone way up.”

    there’s literally no evidence of it being true. In fact, actual data points in the opposite direction,

    “Is your mind made up, or do you think you might change your mind before the election?” A whopping 90% of people said they’re not going to change their mind.

    [G]oing back to 1952, the candidate leading at this stage of the race always won the popular vote.”

    How many candidates had a lead this large, at this stage in the race, but ended up losing? In the modern polling era, zero. It just hasn’t happened.

    How many candidates at this stage had a pending email dump exposing said candidates corruption?

    how many candidates at this point had been unsuccessfully witch hunted, harassed for 25 years?

    Benghazi!

    you fools. Repugs' fishing expedition will come up empty. They will make a lot of sound and fury, but it will signify nothing.

    fishing expeditions, witch hunting, scorched-earth harassments, but Repugs simply don't govern, and up govt at every chance.

    The first dump caused a huge hit on her poll numbers...the next dump with be even worse. If Trump keeps his mouth shut this is going to look a lot closer in a few months.

    And then there is this little nugget...


    Kelly also asked about WikiLeaks' interest in murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, and Assange suggested that Rich was a WikiLeaks source but declined to accuse anyone of his murder.

    Really? The first dump came right before the convention after which, she took the lead and hasn't looked back.

    Citigroup analysis: Trump victory would cause economic downturn

    A couple of months ago, four economists at Moody’s Analytics prepared a report intended to provide clients with useful information: the “ ulative economic benefits and costs” of Donald Trump’s agenda.

    The results were rather alarming: as the Wall Street Journal reported, Trump’s proposals, if taken at face value, would likely produce “a prolonged recession and heavy job losses that would fall hardest on low- and middle-income workers.”

    As Bloomberg Politics reported yesterday, it’s not the only financial-sector analysis reaching this conclusion.

    The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States could lead to chaos in markets and increased policy uncertainty that tip the world into recession, according to Citigroup Inc.


    “A Trump victory in particular could prolong and perhaps exacerbate policy uncertainty and deliver a shock (though perhaps short-lived) to financial markets,” writes a team led by Chief Economist Willem Buiter. “Tightening financial conditions and further rises in uncertainty could trigger a significant slowdown in U.S., but also global growth.”

    Making matters slightly worse, the WSJ reported yesterday that the 2016 Republican nominee “garners no support from any of the White House economists who have advised U.S. presidents for the past half-century.”

    The Wall Street Journal this month reached out to all 45 surviving former members of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under the past eight presidents, going back to Richard Nixon, to get their views on this year’s presidential election.


    Among 17 Republican appointees who responded to Journal inquiries, none said they supported Mr. Trump.

    Six said they did not support Mr. Trump and 11 declined to say either way.

    An additional six did not respond to repeated messages. Among the 21 Democrats who responded to the Journal,

    14 said they supported Mrs. Clinton, none said they opposed her and seven declined to say either way.

    One Democratic appointee didn’t respond to messages.

    “I have known personally every Republican president since Richard Nixon,” Harvard University economist Martin Feldstein, who chaired the CEA under Ronald Reagan, told the Journal. “

    They all showed a real understanding of economics and international affairs….

    Donald Trump does not have that understanding and does not seem to be concerned about it. That alone disqualifies him in my judgment.”

    Me thinks you're full of doodo.

    the DNC leaks did minimal damage and didn't affect the polls in any way that was noticible.

    Trump was still enjoying a slight lead that he got from his convention when the DNC convention started. By next Monday Hillary was up by 10-15 points following her convention.

    A recent polling states that around 67 percent of voters are just tired of the email. That stuff is old news.

    I said it a while back and I'll say it again. Email talk is not going to be the one thing that brings her down. That became history when the FBI didn't indict.

    This has just become fodder for the republicans with little effect.

    Just look back at what has gone on since the Comey owned her. DNC leaks, An additional 15k more emails came to light, questionable foundation ethics, AP came out with a scathing article.

    With all that hanging around she still has a 8 to 10 point lead and her national average is 6 points. These are things that would kill a campaign.

    She doesn't lose this election unless they find absolute evidence of corruption. Basically, she would have to be caught sitting in a pile of money.

    Trump was a gift from God himself to Hillary.

    The republican field of POTUS candidates this year was horrible. I thought John Kasich was the only electable republican candidate, and it would still require a HRC self-destruction for him to have won IMO.

    PENCE RECAPTURED AFTER FLEEING TRUMP CAMPAIGN BUS

    VIRGINIA — Calling it a “scary moment” and a “close call,” Donald Trump’s campaign officials confirmed that they had

    recaptured Mike Pence after the Indiana governor attempted to flee the campaign bus in the early hours of Friday morning.

    According to the campaign, Pence had asked to stop at a McDonald’s in rural Virginia so that he could use the bathroom, but aides grew concerned when the governor failed to reappear after twenty minutes.

    After determining that Pence had given them the slip, Trump staffers fanned out across the Virginia backcountry, where the governor was believed to have fled.

    News that Pence had vanished touched off a panic in Indiana, where residents feared that he might return to resume his political career.


    After forty-five minutes of searching, however, campaign officials located a bedraggled and dazed Pence walking along Virginia State Route 287, where the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee was attempting unsuccessfully to hitch a ride.


    A confrontation that Trump aides characterized as “tense” ensued, after which a sobbing Pence returned to the bus.

    In the aftermath of Pence’s disappearance, Hope Hicks, Trump’s press secretary, attempted to downplay the severity of the incident.

    “This is the kind of thing that happens in the course of a long and demanding campaign,” she said.

    “Having said that, we’re grateful to have Mike Pence back with us, and we won’t let him get away again.


    Reportedly, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie offered to fill in for Pence in the event that he became unable to fulfill his duties. That offer was declined.

    Eric Trump: Nonexistent ‘holiday tree’ prompted father’s campaign

    Eric Trump, the Republican candidate’s son and a leading surrogate for the GOP ticket, explained some of the motivations that led his father to run for president.

    “He opens up the paper each morning and sees our nation’s leaders giving a hundred billion dollars to Iran, or

    he opens the paper and some new school district has just eliminated the ability for its students to say the Pledge of Allegiance, or

    some fire department in some town is ordered by the mayor to no longer fly the American flag on the back of a fire truck,”

    Trump told James Robison in an interview posted this week.


    “Or he sees the tree on the White House lawn has been renamed ‘Holiday tree’ instead of ‘Christmas tree,’” continued Trump.

    “I could go on and on for hours.

    Those are the very things that made my father run, and those are the very things he cares about.”

    It’s entirely possible Eric Trump genuinely believes everything he said, but unfortunately, reality can get in the way of sincere talking points.

    For example, there are no school districts in the United States that prevent kids from saying the Pledge of Allegiance. He just made that up.


    Similarly, the National Christmas Tree wasn’t renamed. As BuzzFeed’s report explained, there was some weird, right-wing chain email a few years ago that said the word “Christmas” was replaced with “Holiday” in the official name of the tree, but in reality, that never actually happened. Some conservatives made this up, the Trumps chose to believe it.

    In other words, according to Eric Trump,

    Donald Trump is running for president at least in part because “he cares about” developments that never occurred.


    I don’t doubt that Eric Trump “could go on and on for hours,” but that’s because complaining about imaginary problems is incredibly easy.


    But there’s more to this than just laughing at a silly mistake. The larger issue to keep in mind is that we’ve seen quite a bit of evidence that suggests Team Trump exists in some strange alternate universe.


    In Trump Land, Ted Cruz’s father was part of the JFK assassination.

    And President Obama is a terrorist sympathizer who wasn’t born in the United States.

    And Hillary Clinton is secretly dealing with unidentified health crises.

    And Muslim Americans held public celebrations on 9/11.

    And the National Enquirer, Breitbart News, and Alex Jones are perfectly credible sources for accurate news.

    And Donald Trump opposed the war in Iraq before the 2003 invasion.

    And Vince Foster’s suicide is highly su ious.

    And vaccines are dangerous.

    And the Christmas tree on the White House lawn has been renamed.


    To borrow a phrase, I could go on and on for hours.

    There’s arguably no more important skill for a president and his or her team than an ability to absorb an enormous amount of information, and quickly understand what’s important, what can be discarded, and what should be used as the basis for action. Trump and his team have demonstrated, over and over again, that they’re just not good at this.

    http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...d=sm_fb_maddow

    iow, Team Trash is EXACTLY like all establishment Repugs, VRWC. rightwing hate media.

    They make up , spew it out repeatedly, until they and their ignorant followers believe it.

    Assange and Fitton both hinted at exactly that. Fitton actually said the information he'll be releasing will have the Clinton Foundation shutting their doors.

    this is the disease I was referring to, TSA. by breathlessly hyping each new revelation as an out-of-the-park home run, too many easy political points are left on the table.

    there's nothing wrong with a bloop single or a bunt sacrifice, unless you try to tell people it's a home run.

    building up expectations is often self-vitiating. the urge to stretch each tactical advantage to the utmost is bad strategy -- it fatigues the intended audience.

    Holds more weight coming from the two that are actually reading/releasing the emails...at least to me.

    Personally I think Hillary went nuclear way too soon. We all knew it was coming but not in August. If she spends the next three months just repeating the same over and over she is gonna come across as a shrill kunt by election day.

    I fully expect her to win but she is going to go into the white House as damaged goods.

    you said Benghazi was a home run, you said the same about the emails.

    by the time she's elected you'll be damaged goods too --all your predictions of doom for Obama and HRC will have come to nothing.
