Not many people on this page like trump....But that's 2 bad.

Trump will become the next president of America wether people like it or not.

The polls are turning on her and Trump is lol

-6 ( +5 / -11 )

“I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy,” if African American voters don’t turn out.

That right there is the problem with the entire process. The assumption that one can not change their minds because they belong to a particular ethnicity. Disgusting!!

Not many people on this page like trump

He's all talk. Perfect example of snake oil salesman. For crying out loud, if none of you can't vote third party, don't vote at all!!

Today: "Clinton struggles to make Obama's coalition her own."

Two days ago: " As Trump rises, Clinton struggles with traditional tactics"

Reaaaaaaaaally.

USUALLY, they give people immunity FOR testifying. Unheard of to allow someone NOT to testify and get immunity.

Anyhoos, the Obama coalition that Clinton hasn't won over are the younger than 30 whites.

And since the Republican voter came home form Sept 1, and his numbers improved, all those millenials realized, ooopd., I guess I better vote for Trump.

That is, in competitive states.

Here in CA, for example, the young and idealistic have the luxury -- yea, I said it -- the luxury of voting their principles.

Clinton struggles to make Obama's coalition her own

She's not struggling with the 1% Wall Street/Republican establishment/war mongers. She's only struggling with the average citizen. That shit kinda happens when they realize you're no better than the previous president at starting wars, keeping banksters out of prison and selling weapons to evil countries.

What she should do is get GHW Bush on her campaigns trail too. You'll certainly rake in more millions.

Before the NATO onslaught, Libya had the highest standard of living of any country in Africa. This meant the people enjoyed state-sponsored healthcare, high literacy rates, and other benefits that come with living in a relatively prosperous society. In 2015 alone, the country fell 27 places on the U.N. Human Development Index ratings. According to UNICEF, there are now two million Libyan children out of school.

Nice job Obama and Hillary. Your MSM lies sure did a job on those Libyan kids. You both must feel that you're superior to us average people to have wrought so much death and destruction upon them and now think people aren't going to remember what you did. Some will be able to ignore it, put in the back of their minds, and just start screaming Racist!! or Bigot!! and then get a bubbly feeling inside like their doing world some kind of "Star Trek" favor. But in reality, what they are doing is furthering the divide between the rich and poor and some day in the future you're life choices will be Soylent Yellow or Red, or the more tastier and palatable Soylent Green.

Whenever the FBI interrogates me, I always crack a lot of jokes about the many ways in which I violated national security laws too.

FBI: Clinton IT aides described 'Hillary cover-up operation'

Employees at Platte River Network, the firm tapped to manage Hillary Clinton's emails in 2013, sent emails describing the 'Hilary [sic] coverup [sic] operation' after Clinton's staff asked them to begin wiping emails in Dec. 2014.

The revelation came in 189 pages of FBI documents made public Friday evening amid controversy over the five immunity deals extended to aides involved in the case — including one that protected a key employee at Platte River from prosecution.

The unnamed employee told FBI agents that his reference to the "cover-up" was a joke.

Correction:

What a sorry state of affairs. One of the candidates has to worry about perceptions because, unlike the other candidate, she is not expected to be an idiot. How did we get here precisely?

Well, Obama just be rejected his "coalition" and every other citizen as well.

president Obama denied what all American citizens demanded - and got - after both chambers unanimously passed the Sept 11 law several weeks ago, when he decided to veto the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act bill.

Can't wait to get these 1%'er/warmongers out of our house!!! Utter failure Obama is.

remember all the hopes and expectations when obama was elected? Change You Can Believe IN. instead, we got what we got.

Clinton’s struggle to win over Obama’s supporters — most notably young voters — has served as a reminder that many of them are more loyal to him than to his Democratic Party.

That's the key, even if the far left loons hate Trump with a passion, voting for Hillary is like trying to eat Limburger cheese, it's a struggle and the enthusiasm for a woman that is a constant chronic liar doesn't inspire a lot of people, especially young people. She doesn't have a likable personality, can't be trusted. Add to that, Hillary is open to quickly use military force. Of course as the president you should appear strong and in command and get respect particularly in front of our enemies (unlike Obama) and try as best to be diplomatic. Trump tried this in Mexico and wants to give it a shot with Putin. Hillary might not go that route and feel if she's pissed, she might take us into WWIII because as a Hawk, she's not afraid to use military might.

Here is a historical novelist's take on the situation. As a part of my fictional novel, I would probably write the article this way.

There was never an Obama coalition. What got him elected was and still is just a "machine" whose various parts are now becoming evident. The governments all over the world as we know it today are but a "stage" on which the actors are being directed as of a part of a machine, by those who actually hold the power.

That machine within which Clinton also played a part has started to abandon Clinton. She has become a liability rather than an asset. Just as all the terrorist leaders with ISIS have served their purpose and are being systematically eliminated.

That machine by using the power of communication which includes the media, but mostly economic and financial dealings will soon force more riots and happenings which will require more national guard and military participation to a point where, Martial Law will be used to disarm the police and force a military take over.

I have yet to determine who the benefactors are or who may be the power behind that machine and who will ultimately benefit from all this.

But I can say that all this is a "cover" while thousands of illegal immigrants are being "allowed" to enter and many already being made "citizens" without the normal proceedings. That in itself shows how powerful that machine is.

After all, Obama placed all those "known" radicals and communist of the 1960's and 1970's as Department heads from the IRS to FDA to Agriculture. Even without Obama actually participating, they are already affecting the system.

The big question is Why are IRS personnel being trained to use automatic weapons?

The second question is Why is NSA buying up all that ammunition?

The third question is why are there "racial" and anti-police riots and shooting just before an election and only when Trump started to show his effectiveness against the establishment?

The fourth question is why is Obama letting it all happen without even a simple warning or even directing NSA or the media to prevent and stop all those rhetoric and actions?

That only translates to... he wants that to happen....

His speech at the UN which stated GLOBALIZATION of the world... says everything about who he is and what UN is all about.

What kind of a novel would you write?

"Clinton’s struggle to win over Obama’s supporters — most notably young voters — has served as a reminder that many of them are more loyal to him than to his Democratic Party. "

Uh oh.

"Donald Trump’s recent rise in the polls"

How can this be?

This is interesting: "Judge: Bulk of Clinton emails to be released after election" ( Fox News )

But will that be enough to save her after the debate?

-1 ( +0 / -1 )

Clinton will destroy Trump in the debates (If he shows up). So all good.

2 ( +2 / -0 )

Y'all know why I am so confident in an HRC victory?

Because Trump has never broken 40% in six key battle ground states.

He cannot win unless he takes at least one.

Today is the deadline for absentee ballot requests in Florida. First time ever a Republican has come out ahead on this metric.

Here are the numbers, via the Florida Division of Elections:

2016 General Election

Election Number – 10282 Election Date – 11/08/2016

Republican 881,274 – Democrat 760,003

This is extremely good news for the Trump campaign.

Obama only won on the turnout of Black and Hispanic voters who do not normally bother with “white politics” The Democrats thought that by wheeling out a woman presidential candidate they were in with a chance of picking up the female vote plus some of Obama’s core voters but Clinton represents elitist old school politics of back door deals, money buys access and a whole attitude of being so superior that national security could be compromised by running a personal email server outside the Pentagon firewall. Meanwhile Trump speaks the language of the man in the street and address his concerns about America being sold out to globalisation and corporate profit through off shoring of American jobs. Politicians have yet to realise that their world is less significant than it used to be, people now have the Internet and political lies, spin, propaganda and false flags are easily exposed. The people are taking politics back and the privileged elite do not like it.
