For Clinton, beating Trump remains in doubt
The Boston Globe ^ | June 29, 2016 | Eric Fehrnstrom

My new favorite political image is of Hillary Clinton sighing, in a speech at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. And I don’t mean sighing like you or I might when letting go of a long audible breath to express sadness or relief. But actually reading the word “sigh” off her teleprompter.

Now when people ask me if Clinton can blow this election, I have a new story to illustrate my case that, yes, she definitely can. She’s more wooden than a Charlie McCarthy doll.

Here’s another bit of information I like to share: As the Brexit campaign was getting underway last fall, the Remain camp was ahead of Leave, 51-37 percent. On the day that Britons were voting, the Dow closed up 230 points, and the British pound was near its year-to-date high, so confident was the feeling that the United Kingdom would never leave the European Union....

Liz Warren might replace her.

Looking forward to Hilary reading out the cue card instructions that tell her to stop speaking in a shrill, robotic monotone.

That would explain the splinters in Huma's tongue.

And quite a bit less human.

Remember when George H. W. Bush said ...”Message, I care”?? It was front page news for days, but Hillary reading out loud “SIGH” goes unnoticed and unmentioned by the media.

All lascivious references people around here seem to enjoy a way too much aside

He’s got 1.3 million to her 43 million

It makes me think of shopping with my great-aunt, considerable estate.
Read the business page every day. She’s now reminiscing about what the trumps were like back in the day in Brooklyn “That Mr Trump ( the father) such a nice man” just by the way

We’d go to Loehmanns in the Bronx or to Lord and Taylor Eastchester and go straight to the bargain rack in the back. Along the way she’d say “ugh that’s a gorgeous jacket. I can’t look. Your sister and your cousin drive the prices up” $450 for a little blazer

And there would be late model Mercedes in the parking lot at Loehmanns

Here’s what Trump gets for his 1.3 million: “...voters generally believe Trump is a stronger leader, that he’s more honest and trustworthy, that he can handle ISIS better, and that he would be more effective at bringing change to Washington.”

I was watching CNN international yesterday. They were all in a huff because Boris Johnson had withdrawn from the race for leader of the Tories.

Becky Anderson was interviewing some guy in front of the Parliament building. As the old guy was making his final comments, you could hear a voice yelling a word (forgot which) about four times. Finally, the old guy made a statement that included that word!

I guess there was a screw-up in the CNN microphone, and it was picking up what the old guy's handler was telling him! Quite funny to hear.

'Never Been A Time Like This': Alarmed Muslim Voters Mobilize To Stop Trump
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/american-muslims-trump-mobilize-elections

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><>
<><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><> <><><><><><>

I'm sure Muslims all across America are already in contact with each other and are preparing for the General.
The following is an article from the Detroit Free Press printed just after the mid-terms of 2006
[everyone needs go to the polls in Nov or we'll be outvoted!]

"Did Muslim Vote In Virginia Swing Senate Control"

'The Detroit Free Press reports Muslims played a critical role in the November midterm elections'
[March 2007]

Imam Mahdy Bray, Speaking at a Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America convention in Dearborn, highlighted the effective effort to turn out Muslim voters in Virginia.

The effort was so organized that Muslim taxi drivers in northern Virginia took the day off to ferry Muslims to the polls, said Imam Mahdy Bray, a speaker at the convention. Volunteers also made phone calls to Muslims in Virginia to urge them to vote, he said.

As a result, Democrat James Webb ousted incumbent Republican George Allen by about 9,000 votes in a race in which 50,000 Muslims went to the polls -- 47,000 of them voting for Webb, Bray said.

If 96 percent of Muslims are going to vote Democratic, that would make them a more reliable Democratic constituency than African Americans. Democrats consistently receive about 80 percent of African American votes.

It's true that Trump is getting far more for his dollars in terms of public perception - but you should update the numbers. I believe he's added $ 11 Million (perhaps more) in the past week.

That’s a keeper! I tweeted this yesterday:

Whenever storm clouds brew over Hillay Town, Huma Abedin is there to put a finger in the dyke and make things better.

I know these are rude and crude jokes, but they serve a purpose. Worldwide ridicule of a Hillary presidency is guaranteed. Do you think burly teamsters and longshoreman want to vote for this?

Interesting, explains why the Dems chose to side with the Muzzies, rather than the gays after the shooting.

Also, we can thank that bunch for giving us Obamacare, since there weren’t any votes to spare in the Senate, when it passed.

Every time Trump gives a speech attacking Hillary, after he makes his point he should say: "SIGH!"

It should be a running gag at his speeches, and after he does it a few times, he should start egging on his audiences to shout it with a look and a hand gesture when he mentions her name.

The media would DEFINITELY cover that, which would bring Hillary's moment to public attention, plus make her the butt (the BIG butt) of a joke that would stick.
