New polling shows Clinton vulnerable in swing states - and CNN recognizes just how bad it is

The "inevitable" meltdown

Despite the fact that team Clinton seems to be sticking with their “no polls show voters find Hillary untrustworthy” line, virtually every single poll reveals exactly the opposite. Mrs. Clinton’s trust numbers are in the dumper, and they’re consistently getting worse. The latest research to confirm this comes from Quinnipiac which, as CNN reports, holds an awful lot of bad news for Hillary’s swing state hopes.

A majority of voters in three key presidential swing states view Hillary Clinton as not honest and trustworthy, according to a new poll out Wednesday.

The Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll finds that by margins of 8 to 14 percentage points voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania are skeptical of Clinton’s trustworthiness.

she was able, in her first venture into commodities trading, to buy EXACTLY at the bottom and sell EXACTLY at the top - ten times in a row, and turn $10,000 into $100,000.
Not exactly. She put in one thousand dollars (and came out with something like $98,000).

In a gaming table sense, the odds-against are simple to compute: if you made a roulette wheel with 100 slots where the ball could fall, and 100 people each put $1000 on a number, I - as one of the 100 - have 99 chances of of losing, and only 1 chance of winning. Somebody has to win, it’s true - but any individual player has only one chance in a hundred of being that winner.

Tells in Hillary’s and Red Bone’s scheme include

Something the pros couldn’t do, then or now.
Well, actually anyone could do it - if they never had to cover a margin call. Just keep on betting more and more of other people’s money until your luck turns . . .

My understanding is that she did this using a technique called "straddling". She found some anonymous benefactor to give her the $100K. The commodity trading was just a laundering mechanism. They found a stock broker that would buy futures contracts, both short and long, but not assign them to an account. When they came due one would be a "winner" and the other a "loser". The "winners" were then attributed to Hillary, and the "losers" to her anonymous donor.

When investigators tried to subpoena those records from her stock broker, they had conveniently been destroyed.

Her "stock broker" was the cattle trader at Tyson's Food.

Tyson's ate the losing contracts.

Thanks. I thought it was Tyson, but wasn't sure so I didn't put it out there.

Any will do. There is always a scandal where there are Clintons.

A respected Wall Street analyst who has been investigating the Clinton Foundation’s finances alleges the “Big Four” accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers was a willing participant in a scheme by the Clintons and their associates to become personally enriched by the foundation, a crime known as inurement.

This is the newest one... inurement...

This is another scandal the Clintons will get away with because they are above the law.

Nixon was a piker compared to the Clintons.

Yikes! I thought 10 to 1 was beyond belief.
