http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...ter-new-country-women-minorities-hit-hardest/
Nope... she didn't say that.
But you said it this morning.
Wow, you're pretty smart. I didn't realize that I had said that. Thanks for pointing it out.
I don't believe this article at all. It's like claiming that a one tooted man was seen running down the hills of Kentucky yelling, I luv Hill'ry, I luv Hill'ry, just not possible.
Who the fuk is Jennifer Lopez? And why does she reccomend voting for the crime syndicate? It matters not who wins cuz Americans are losers, this time,and the time before and the time before that time, and you've all run out of time by this time. Yah it's time.

BFD.
Every vote counts. Remember?
From what I could gather from Global News tonight, Trump is finally getting into the short strokes!
Bottom line is if Trump is to win, he'll have to carry some traditional blue states. Especially ones with a lot of electoral votes.From what I could gather from Global News tonight, Trump is finally getting into the short strokes!
You don't know ya twat.
New York would be a good one for him to take and since it's his "stomping ground" one wouldn't think he should have any trouble!
Hillary was senator in NY where she has many friends and supporters. By contrast, Trump is viewed as a corporate welfare recipient who has profited by getting handouts from taxpayers.

As for Latinos, they continue to support Hillary:
Final Hispanic Battle Ground poll (FL/AZ/NV) - Stunningly good for Clinton
http://www.politico.com/states/f/?id=00000158-2c1a-d86f-a558-aebf86740001
Clinton is running away with Women Hispanics in all 3 states by margins of over 62%+
Florida Cubans usually go big for GOP, it splits this year and the other Hispanics go by huge margins.
This is such a good poll for HRC.
You think Hillary's friends and supporters would match Trump's 22,000 employees and their friends and families? How many people did Hillary piss off when she was a Senator in N.Y.? A lot of people don't care for snobs!
I was watching C.B.C. news for awhile this afternoon and it looks like Trump is gaining ground in Fla. Apparently the Cuban Latinos, a lot of who are present in Fla. are Republicans, so it's starting to look like Hillary could come up a vote or so shy in Fla.
Yeah, ahuh, she pissed so many people that she won the US Senate seat TWICE.
As for Latinos allegedly supporting Dump, the numbers clearly show they support Hillary:
FOX: Latinos Are Already CRUSHING Trump At The Polls
Republicans are fond of blaming the media for their troubles, but never blaming voters for utterly rejecting their party’s platform of racism, hatred and economic inequality. To some Republican voters, it will even come as a surprise that Donald Trump loses next week’s election, but the signs were all there and here’s an excerpt from just one of the rare Fox News stories that admits it: “‘Sleeping Giant’ awake and roaring – early voting shows high Latino turnout“:
The tens of millions of early votes cast point to strength from Democratic-leaning Latino voters, potentially giving Clinton a significant advantage in Nevada and Colorado. With more than half the votes already cast in those states, Democrats are matching if not exceeding their successful 2012 pace, according to data compiled by The Associated Press.
Latinos, another group that Democrats have been banking on, are turning out in larger numbers than anticipated, and they very well may be the ones who give the party’s presidential nominee the margin of victory. “We are seeing the trajectory of the election change in some states, but Democrats are also making up ground,” said Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor and expert in voter turnout.
They don’t let Sean Hannity or Lou Dobbs on to Fox News Latino, which is probably why it actually publishes some factual stories, unlike Fox News or Fox Business, who just today had to retract an entirely false story about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, Univision exit polling is showing that Latinos have the same high level of regard for Hillary Clinton in Florida that they have for President Barack Obama. This level of support is considered key to the Democratic nominee’s strategy to win the Sunshine State, which would act as a firewall, closing almost all of the Republican nominee’s paths to the presidency. The Miami Herald reports:
Hillary Clinton has hit a key marker among Florida Hispanics, according to a new poll: She’s reached the level of popularity that helped President Barack Obama win the nation’s largest battleground state in 2012.
Sixty percent of Florida Latinos favor Clinton, the Univision News poll shows. That’s the same number that voted for Obama four years ago, according to exit polls from that election.
The polls further indicate that Hillary Clinton will probably get at least 60% of the latino vote in Florida, but there’s 9% of the sample that is still not decided, so it could be much higher by the time election day finishes.
Politico is reporting that the Democratic nominee’s 30-point lead amongst Latino voters in Florida isn’t just a problem for Trump, but that for the entire GOP it’s a “terrifying” prospect. For the wing of the Republican party that likes to win elections, this poll is probably invoking the moment where they see their party’s entire electoral history as the party of Lincoln flash before its eyes, which can only mean that the end of the decadently twisted Grand Old Party is near.
Republicans wrote an autopsy of their party after their politics of division, hatred and the 47% blew the 2012 election, which declared the GOP dead in the water. Particularly, the report cited the Tea Party’s radical anti-immigration policies, racist dog whistles and the war on women.
Luckily, that spurred the rank and file GOP voters in 2016 to pick an orange zombie Presidential candidate, a man who has turned off women and latinos like a switch, and added muslims, finished off black people and finally convinced college educated voters to trust that the Democratic party is the only rational political actor that can be trusted.
Donald Trump’s “safe zone” – THE Fox News Network – is reporting a massive turnout in the latino communities the Republican candidate so despises.
Now, there is absolutely no way he can claim that the election is rigged next Tuesday night when all of the major news networks pronounce his campaign dead, and the Republican Party along with it.
Early voting data in 3 key states show spike in Latino turnout

So far, Latino voting in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina is significantly up from 2012, according to Catalist, a data company that works with progressive candidates and groups to receive detailed early vote return information this year. Catalist's voter list connects returned ballots with demographic and registration information, such as party registration, gender and age, and allows a closer look at who has already cast a vote.
In total, more than 30 million votes have been cast already across 38 states with early voting. And both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continue to urge their supporters to vote early as Election Day nears.
Latinos tend to vote more Democratic than the population as a whole. And in 2012, Latinos voted for President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney by 71% to 27%, according to an analysis of exit polls by the Pew Hispanic Center.

Hillary Clinton Appears to Gain Late Momentum on Surge of Latino Voters
Hispanic voters in key states surged to cast their ballots in the final days of early voting this weekend, a demonstration of political power that lifted Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes and threatened to block Donald J. Trump’s path to the White House.
In Florida, energized by the groundswell of Latino support and hoping to drive even more voters to the polls, Mrs. Clinton visited a handful of immigrant communities on Saturday and rallied Democrats in a town filled with Hispanic and Caribbean migrants.
“We are seeing tremendous momentum, large numbers of people turning out, breaking records,” Mrs. Clinton said here in Pembroke Pines before cutting her remarks short when torrential afternoon rain began falling on the racially mixed crowd. Before taking the stage, she greeted voters at a heavily Cuban early voting center in West Miami and then stopped in at her storefront field office in Miami’s Little Haiti.
Indeed, even as she fought a rear-guard action to defend a series of more heavily white states that appear to have grown more competitive, making trips to Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, Mrs. Clinton appeared to find a growing advantage in the more diverse presidential battlegrounds.
This long, unpredictable and often downright bizarre election was, in other words, ending along the lines it had been contested all along: with Americans sharply divided along demographic lines between the two candidates. But Democrats continued to hold the upper hand, thanks in part to the changing nature of the electorate in the most crucial states: Florida and a cluster of states in the South and the West.

In 1 Unscripted Moment, Hillary Clinton Finds Joy in the Rain NOV. 5, 2016
Mr. Trump also began the day in this state, rallying supporters in Tampa, where he recognized Hispanic supporters in his audience and declared “the Cubans just endorsed me,” citing an award he had been given by a group of Cuban-Americans. Without explaining what he meant, Mr. Trump said, “The Hispanic vote is turning out to be much different than people thought.”
He also continued to assail Mrs. Clinton over her use of a private email server as secretary of state, highlighting the F.B.I.’s apparent discovery of messages on a computer used by Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide, and her estranged husband, the former congressman Anthony D. Weiner. But, continuing a recent pattern, Mr. Trump hurled claims at Mrs. Clinton that were highly speculative.
“Anthony Weiner has probably every classified email ever sent,” said Mr. Trump. “And, knowing this guy, he probably studied every single one, in between using his machine for other purposes.”
Hillary Clinton has an 84% chance of winning the presidency.
In Reno, Nev., Trump was rushed offstage by Secret Service agents after someone shouted that a member of the crowd had a gun, a reminder of the charged atmosphere at many of his events. No weapon was found, and Mr. Trump returned to finish his speech after a few minutes.
By holding events in those four increasingly diverse states, he was signaling a refusal to concede any ground to Mrs. Clinton and rejecting the strategy of past presidential candidates who have fought within the confines of a narrower electoral map in the campaign’s final hours.
He even announced Saturday morning that he planned to add a stop in Minnesota, long a Democratic bulwark and a state he had not been even contesting.
But the evidence from polling and the early voting turnout seemed to indicate he was facing the possibility of sweeping losses in states with sizable Hispanic populations, most likely affected by the racially tinged language he has used since beginning his campaign over 16 months ago, when he claimed the ranks of Mexican migrants were filled with rapists and drug dealers.

“The story of this election may be the mobilization of the Hispanic vote,” said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, an anti-Trump Republican who has pleaded with his party to do more to win over Latinos. “So Trump deserves the award for Hispanic turnout. He did more to get them out than any Democrat has ever done.”
The question for Republicans, just 12 years after President George W. Bush carried at least a third of the Hispanic vote, is how long the Trump-inflicted damage with Latinos will haunt them.
Raising the specter of how difficult it has been for California Republicans since former Gov. Pete Wilson’s hard line toward illegal immigrants there, Mr. Graham said, “If we don’t come to grips with the demographic challenges we have with Hispanics in presidential politics, we’ll never right the ship.”
In Florida, at least 200,000 more Hispanics had voted early as of Friday than did during the entire early voting period four years ago, according to an analysis by Steve Schale, a Democratic strategist who helped run President Obama’s two campaigns here.
The turnout has been particularly explosive in South Florida and Central Florida, where thousands from Puerto Rico and other regions of Latin America have migrated in recent years. And 24 percent of the Hispanics casting early ballots were first-time voters, the analysis showed.

“It’s the demographics that are bailing her out,” Mr. Schale said.
In Orlando, voters waited up to 90 minutes on Saturday at one early voting location at a library, some spending the time taking pictures of one another in front of candidates’ signs. Parking lots for a quarter-mile surrounding the area were packed.
Mrs. Clinton clearly carried the day there. Jon-Carlos Perez, 30, an independent voter and a concrete laborer originally from Puerto Rico, said he cast his vote for Mrs. Clinton in part because “she’s not an idiot like Trump.”
Alyssa Perez, 23, a doctoral student at the University of Central Florida who voted at another busy location in Orlando, said she considered Mr. Trump to be “anti-women, anti-Hispanic, anti-Muslim” and said, “I don’t want to live in a country where there is a president who has those kinds of views.”
Canvassing on Saturday morning in North Miami, Mary Kay Henry, the president of the Service Employees International Union, and a handful of local members focused on households, many of them Haitian or Hispanic, with an infrequent voting history. But nearly every resident who answered their door assured her they had already voted.
“The word is out,” said Ms. Henry, as roosters scooted between yards.
But it was not just Florida where Hispanics were poised to send a powerful message. In Nevada, which has the fastest-growing Latino population in the West, Democrats appeared to have built a fearsome advantage in Las Vegas’s Clark County at the end of early voting Friday, largely because of a surge of votes from Mexican-Americans. The early voting period was extended until 10 p.m. at one Hispanic grocery store in Las Vegas, where the images of hundreds of voters waiting in line ricocheted across the internet. (On Saturday, Mr. Trump claimed, without any evidence, that the hours had been extended so Democrats could be bused in.)
As of the end of early voting on Thursday, five states with surging Hispanic populations — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Nevada — had already cast ballots equivalent to over 50 percent of their total turnout from 2012, according to an analysis by Catalist, a Democratic data firm.
While the changing face of the American electorate seemed to offer Mrs. Clinton a political cushion, the F.B.I.’s decision to continue investigating her use of a private email server as secretary of state appeared to push some loosely committed white voters away. Mr. Trump has seized on the issue in virtually every speech, repeatedly insinuating that Mrs. Clinton was on the verge of being charged despite no evidence to support the claim.
She appeared in Philadelphia on Saturday night, before heading on Sunday to New Hampshire, and then returning to Ohio, where she was to appear with the Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James in a state Mr. Obama twice captured but has proved elusive for her.
Mrs. Clinton also dispatched her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine, to Wisconsin and onetime rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, to Iowa over the weekend to blunt Mr. Trump’s support among white voters. A new Des Moines Register poll this weekend showed Mr. Trump leading Mrs. Clinton by seven points in Iowa.
But Mrs. Clinton can afford to lose Ohio and Iowa and even Michigan and still easily amass the 270 electoral votes needed for victory if she is able to secure the Southern and Western states that have tilted away from Republicans as they lost ground with nonwhites over the past decade: Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, as well as New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada.
And while she may not win every one of these diverse states, capturing most of them would be enough to deny Mr. Trump any path to the White House.
“You can credit him for that,” said Karl Rove, the Republican strategist. “Not her.”
