His possible victory.


I'm thinking that even Donald has difficulty believing that a victory is possible.

He's may be laughing all the way to victory.

Reminds me of Reagan/Carter 1980.

Carter had a 3-6 point advantage, two weeks before the election.

Democrats, Liberals, and the Media are just smugly talking among themselves. They have no clue what is outside of them. They are just living in a La La Land.

In 1980, there was only one presidential debate and that didn't happen until the 28th October. Like Hillary this year, Reagan got a large upsurge in support which was still ongoing a week later when the election happen on Nov 4th.

Totally different scenario.

Correct. But not my many points regarding this election.

#1 - The Media's Support and Negative Attacks again Trump, means little. They are just 'Preaching to The Choir'.

#2 - Both Nixon's 'Silent Majority' and Reagan's Support were vastly underrated, and possibly dismissed. As may be happening with Trump.

#3- What both Trump's and Hillary's Supporters dismiss, is that BOTH are considered, by a majority of Voter's, as 'Untrustworthy'.

They point this out about their Opponent, but dismiss or fail to acknowledge the Negatives regarding themselves.

#4 - Hillary's supporter's smug and possibly incorrect beliefs. May result in a great shock on Election Day.


I was quite young for Nixon's 1st term. I can speak to the "silent majority" of now: they haven't been so silent. But, in the last 1-2 weeks, they have been. Their arguments have decreased. I think some of them mifht be going to Johnson or staying home.

The employment figures in any country is one you can play around with 100's of ways and so can the governments. And the number of working age, not in work but not registered as looking is always strongly debated.

Been in that situation a few of times, and sometimes I was sort of looking and sometimes I wasn't.

Well, ALL the numbers are RIGHT THERE on the US Federal Government's Bureau of Labor Statistics website, in the 3 places I linked.

Now then, if you mistrust ANY of those numbers, that calls ALL the numbers into question, because they all have a single source... the Current Population Survey (CPS). If ALL of their numbers are called into question, the there is absolutely no basis to talk about unemployment rates whatsoever.

As to how they get the numbers...

http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm

In the USA, if you are jobless but have looked for work in the last 4 weeks you are 'unemployed', and 'part of the civilian work force', along with those with jobs.

If you have looked in the last 12 months, but not in the last 4 weeks, you are not in the work force, but are marginally attatched to the work force.

If you have not looked in the last 12 months, you are not in the work force, period.

It ain't rocket science... Just the ability to read the numbers off the website and do some basic arithmetic.

Ah, propose a pile of stuff that is so far to the right that nothing will change and the Hillary way will continue. It is a brilliant Democratic Party move!

(Late to party, as usual. Sorry)

So the moral of the story is Trump can do and say a bajillion things that are all sorts of stupid, vile, hateful, untrue etc. but...

Use the word pu**y and all of a sudden you're likely out of the race?

So everything else that came out of his mouth so far was OK?

People are strange.

Trump saying it will matter to him if he loses, because he will have lost $100 million.

Donald Trump is in a funk: Bitter, hoarse and pondering, ‘If I lose. . .’

Some questions could be asked about what he spent it on, reports say that in one month alone, $8 million was paid to reimburse Trump businesses. And why so much on lawyers, $3 million in September, Romney only paid just over $1 million for his whole campaign.

He's probably trying to get out of paying tax for another 18yrs. ;-)

Trump's contract for the American voter


LOL

That list has The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on it.

The Good = Good policy, imo.
The Bad = Bad policy, imo.
The Ugly = Unconstitutional (fact).

A good pollster but one that has a small Republican bias. Most accurate probably not.

But I will look at the ABC/WP 12% lead for Clinton skeptically until we get more polls that are after the 3rd debate. That one was the first.

Blaming things on Clinton when he had previously stated it was a decision of SCOTUS.

“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton allowed thousands of criminal aliens to be released because their home countries wouldn’t take them back, because they’re smart. They don’t want to take back killers and drug dealers and all of the people that we’re sending back. It was just reported, and Hillary took it — she said, ‘All right, look, bring them back, bring them back. They won’t take them. Bring them back.’”
—Donald Trump, remarks in Fletcher, N.C., Oct. 21

“There are at least 23 countries that refuse to take their people back after they’ve been ordered to leave the United States, including large number of violent criminals. … Due to a Supreme Court decision, if these violent defenders cannot be sent home, our law enforcement officers have to release them into your communities.”
—Trump, remarks in Phoenix, Aug. 31

At this point, does it really matter?

Despite the probably incorrect Polls:

It appears, on 'The Ground' here. People have already made up their minds. And appear to be bored by all the accusations by both sides.

BTW: Wife and I, are going to the Early Polls this day.

Guess who we will be voting for?

Only posted as balance to the Trumpettes.

Laurence Kotlikoff, if you have write in. Or maybe, Evan McMullin he does stand a chance at getting Electoral College votes in Utah.
