2016 Presidential Campaign

[Curious Cdn]

The polling shows that Clinton is popular with the college educated and Trump with the less educated and that the numbers appear to be about even. The thing is that the college educated are times more likely to be registered to vote, to be interested and politically engaged to vote and to actually get off of their assets and cast a ballot. The Trump support is likely far more ethereal. The poor and lightly educated may be angry, may feel left out, may be more suceptible to the parade of conspiracy theories around this election but they don't actually vote, much. It's possible to get that sort of vote out but it takes a lot of work and organization to do it. The Democrats have lots of experience mobilizing that sort of vote but I'll bet that the Republicans have zero experience.

It's all blah-blah-blah. There is only one poll that counts.

The polls have now narrowed to a dead heat nationwide. In the 60 days remaining in the campaign i expect Trump will pull out into a statistical lead, and more importantly for the outcome, will pull ahead in key battleground states.. especially those in the rust belt.. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.. as well as Florida.. and a split of Gergia, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada.

Despite all of the media histrionics on immigration, foreign policy, military spending, taxation, Supreme Court nominations, black or blue lives matter, gun control, financial regulation, infrastructure.. there is one overarching issue in this campaign.. TRADE.. and the absolute disaster of Free Trade and deindustrialization of America.

A vote for Hillary means more of the same, and vote for Trump is a step towards reestablishing a viable, integrated, national idustrial economy for the U.S... and the resolution of almost all those other issues depends on that.

I think you're right. Whoever can bring good jobs to the citizens will win.

Be quite a trick, bringing good jobs to the citizens before the election.

 

[PoliticalNick]

Be quite a trick, bringing good jobs to the citizens before the election.

Whoever the electorate believe will bring them good jobs. Are you on the firewater or did you not get past grade 4

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Whoever the electorate believe will bring them good jobs.

Ah, that's different.

Are you on the firewater or did you not get past grade 4

Got to 7. Sorry you're too stupid to understand the difference between bringing good jobs and making people believe you'll bring good jobs without prompting.

 

[PoliticalNick]

Ah, that's different.


Got to 7. Sorry you're too stupid to understand the difference between bringing good jobs and making people believe you'll bring good jobs without prompting.

See I knew you were smart for an injun. ;-) Just not smart enough to get the context on the first try.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

See I knew you were smart for an injun.

You've amply proved you're pretty stupid, even for a pinkie.

 

[darkbeaver]

I think you're right. Whoever can bring good jobs to the citizens will win.

Why should the citizen depend on whomever? We want the citizen to be able to read, at least jobs grow on land, not in concrete blocks, blueberries for instance, just grow some goddamn jobs, it's easy

Yes I'm sick and fukkin tired of another American election

an azzhole wins everytim,e

In honour of the election, I give you,

A Tiny, Red Hot Pepper

Hidden in the pickles,
Third jar, second shelf,
Was a tiny, red hot pepper,
In the brine, all by itself.

How he came to be there.
Nobody rightly knows.
And nobody saw him pickled,
With the cukes, a year ago.

That angered the hot pepper,
To be taken from his friends.
And he vowed to make somebody pay,
He wanted his revenge.

The pungent pepper plotted,
To hide until the day,
Some unsuspecting human erred,
And ate from a pickle tray.

The zesty little veggie laughed,
Waiting for the sweet,
Who would take him from the grocery store,
Straight home, so she could eat.

It wasn't long until the time,
When Sister grabbed the jar,
And with the convent's groceries,
Was packed into the car.

The ride was quick, but bumpy,
Yet, he dreamed of all the fun,
And the rapid, rancid ranting,
That would pour out of the nun.

The pepper neared the kitchen,
But cried out at the sound,
Of shattered glass and pickle farts,
As the jar smashed on the ground!

Sister Sorrow cleaned the mess all up,
And tossed out the remains,
And swabbed the whole of the kitchen floor,
To wash away the stains.

The pepper disappeared that day.
Life can be so fickle.
Especially when you're different,
Or live with a bunch of pickles.

USA Freedom Kids Sues Trump for Breaking Agreements (VIDEO)





USA FREEDOM KIDS
The Little Girls Who Sang Donald Trump's Praises Are Now Suing Him

The USA Freedom Kids' manager says the Trump campaign broke its promises to the group on two separate occasions.

By Matt Picht | September 6, 2016
Remember the kids who were singing about Donald Trump?

"President Donald Trump knows how to make America great," they sang.

They are the USA Freedom Kids, and they seem to be less enamored of Donald Trump these days.

The juvenile dance troupe, which gained viral fame after opening for the GOP nominee during a January rally in Pensacola, Florida, is now officially suing Trump's campaign.

Jeff Popick, manager of USA Freedom Kids, says the Trump campaign broke verbal agreements made to the group on two separate occasions and refused to compensate them for travel expenses.

Popick says the campaign didn't plan to compensate the group for their performance in Pensacola, but agreed to let them set up a merchandising table inside the rally. That apparently didn't happen — instead, event security wouldn't let them bring the merch into the building, and Popick says all of it ended up being stolen after the group left it behind in their car.

USA Freedom Kids also says they were scheduled to perform during Trump's debate protest rally in Iowa, but the performance was canceled at the last minute. The group accuses the campaign of stiffing them on travel expenses and barring them from speaking to the media at the event.

The group's lawsuit is demanding up to $15,000 in damages from the campaign. Popick told The Washington Post in July he wasn't sure if he still supported Trump's presidential bid.

Popick told The Daily Beast, "This is not an opportunistic thing where we’re suing Donald Trump. ... We're not suing for emotional distress and all that other stuff. ... This is tangible dollars I spent under false pretenses."

I'm not . But I sure do not like Hillary one iota , and would shudder at the thought that our closest friend and neighbour would elect her . But then we elected the present liberal government so who knows .

 

[mentalfloss]

He's a billion times worse than Hilary.

 

[PoliticalNick]

He's a billion times worse than Hilary.

You believe in higher taxes and AGW...your opinion is automatically wrong!

 

[darkbeaver]

He's a billion times worse than Hilary.

You can't possibly present proof of such an lunatic pronouncement, neither of these candidates deserve the attention of real people. The plastic lot who you seem to represent not withstanding, your opinion is valued just like an empty breadbag.

I cannot spread any satisfiing ammount of peanut butter on the thin crust of your position.
