"Republican presidential nominee John McCain and vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin disembarked from the Straight Talk Express campaign bus Monday evening amidst the enthusiastic cheers of supporters outside of the Delaware County Courthouse in Media, Pa. The Secret Service estimated the crowd at 10,000, but GOP officials placed the figure closer to 15,000."

I was there. Sarah was stunning. McCain was there.

Hillary is neither popular nor likable.

Trump will draw huge crowds; she won’t.

And people like to go with the strong horse.

They went to Obama in 2008 and they’ll go this year to Trump.

They went on to lose.

Crowd size means nothing but the psychological of wanting to be on the winning side exerts an inexorable pull.

Simply put, Hillary lacks Obama’s charisma or the warmth of her husband.

Or the personality of a javelina.

MT is a red state.

There are officially 8 purple states:

FL, OH, VA, CO, IA, NV, NH, and WI.

The most recent changes were made to this list after the 2008 elections, when MO was moved from purple to red and NM was moved from purple to blue.

Well to be fair... Montana has a very low minority population. Billings, while the largest “city” (160,000) reflects this.

City data gives demographics of 86% “White alone”, compared to 1% “Black alone”. The remaining percentage is split between Native American and Hispanic.

With the fact that more folks use smartphones, that is going to even get harder also.

Well, maybe, from a distance. This may be splitting hairs, but here is how it looks in 2016:
Governor: Democrat
Senators: 1 Democrat, 1 Republican
Congressman: 1 Republican (there is only 1 congressional district)

Montana is trending Republican. At the state level Republicans control both House and Senate. The Attorney General is Republican while the Secretary of State and Auditor are both Democrats.

As far as the Billings visit, Billings tends to vote Democrat, with sizeable union workers connected to the refinery. Billings’ state reps are:
Senate: 1 Democrat
House: 1 Democrat

They would be more Clinton than Sanders supporters, if I would guess. Even more revealing to see the poor turnout - 300 - in Billings this week, compared to Trump’s 7,500.

Any time McCain wanted a huge crowd, he was forced to team up with Palin. She also drew huge crowds, I think 50,000 in The Villages, and 30,000 in Richmond, but most people vote for the top of the ticket, and that was the lackluster democrat-lite McCain.

I would. Five years, no parole in a federal penitentiary.

... Clinton rhetorically asked. "Now a lot of people are saying let's just close up shop and stick to our own kind ... People are scared everywhere of change." ...

Our own kind?

Is that sh*t referring to the group of people known as "Americans"? Cause if Clinton is, he's right.

I want AMERICANS inside the borders and I want third world, first world and every other kind of NON-CITIZEN OUTSIDE our borders. Clinton's trying to play this like it's about race. It's not. I would NOT want 19 million illegals from Sweden either. It's NOT color of skin - it's about having a country or not.

The only people the Clinton's 'empower' are themselves an a few select criminals.
