Not only is this great news, Tedlim, but it also will fuel President Trump’s electoral reform, limiting all non-absentee (which will revert to requiring valid excuse) voting to Election Day.
Let the primary nonsense go.
Ifn he has that video then he needs to release first thing in the morning as we have early voting.
I’m not sure about that this time. I really do believe there are a lot of really pissed-off Bernie supporters who will not vote for her after her ham-handed theft of the nomination.
The further allegations wanton insider corruption cannot be endearing her to them more.
This all puts Ryan-Kasich-NationalReview-Cruz-etal in a huge conundrum, and especially Ryan. If this election ends up as close as it appears, then I cannot imagine how Ryan can remain in charge after the election — however it turns out.
Ryan has been feckless end-to-end. He has endorsed but not really endorsed Trump. He has been silent on Trump’s policy positions even when he has every opportunity to come out to support them. It is worth providing specific examples:
1. “Whereas the senior legislative leadership stands opposed in principle to minimum wage legislation, we could support our nominee’s proposed hike to $10/hour if it were integrated into bipartisan as a compromise that enables lower tax rates, overall tax reform, restraints on spending, and other grand initiatives to get this country back on track. I believe that this is precisely what a President Trump would propose, and we endorse that approach, even if it includes the higher minimum wage.”
2. “While we would not single out NAFTA as the best example, we understand the frustration that our base has with the international trade treaties that the US has negotiated in the past quarter-century. The Obama Administration routinely declines to enforce the plain language of these agreements. It negotiates agreements that he refuses to put before the Senate for ratification. This includes not only the reprehensible Iran deal, but also climate change treaties that obligate the US for decades to come and that will cost our economy trillions of dollars. This administration actively encourages the UN and other international agencies to ignore or override our treaties. The list goes on, and for this reason we regret that our nominee has focused so narrowly on NAFTA. But we agree that our treaties, NAFTA included, would benefit from very close scrutiny by a President Trump, with a long list of elements that must be revisited and modified.”
In other words, a Speaker Ryan could put some distance between himself and the Republican Nominee without being the total jerk wad he has been to date.
The fact that he has not done this, not adjusted his positions one whit as the sewage around Clinton and the Dems build, not relented even a tad as victory has come into clear view; ... truly, if he cannot make even a last-minute effort to close the gap with Trump, then I think he cannot be the speaker once the election ends. If Trump wins, I don’t think he can keep Ryan. I don’t see that he has a choice. And if Trump loses narrowly, the defeat will surely derive from Ryan’s choices not to show any flexibility whatsoever. We will have HRC in the White House reminding us daily, often hourly, of what a knucklehead we have running the House.
Since Trump announced he was going to run I have always said he will take 47 states. I stand behind this.
A Clinton administration would begin with a battle with the FBI, and a call for a Special Prosecutor. Why would anyone vote for that?
There is a reason for over polling Democrats. Statistically there are more Democrats, over all, than there are Republicans and this is especially true in swinging “blue states”, the toss ups.
Republicans have always required the votes of Democrats to win, as long as I can remember, and we won’t go into how long that is.
We do not have to take the polls at face value because the pollsters are not wanting to poll Independents with the same eagerness as D’s and R’s.
They also are not able to poll first time voters at all, as as a singular grouping, nor the angry Bernie voters either.
Let’s face it, even TRUMP respects these poll numbers, or else he would not be sharing his delight that he is gaining on Hillary. One moment he cusses the dang things, as do we all, but as TRUMP gains in polls his relief and his pride is obvious to us all.
So, unfortunately, these polls by and large have to be respected. We are virtually tied, and on a wing and a prayer we may well pull this victory off
I love they way they state this, or ask the questions. Could mean anything. Am I a "likely voter"? I'm a "hell yes" voter unless I get run over by a DNC bus on the one mile journey from my house to the polling place. (I may walk up the creek and through the woods to minimize that possibility.) "Less inclined"? I couldn't be less inclined, starting from zero chance already. I might be slightly inclined if they held me down in front of that bus as it was rolling forward.
O’Keefe said “early this coming week”. I agree with you. It needs to be Monday.
November 1 email releases will probably overshadow everything so that might be the best day for him exposure wise, and to have an impact on the early voting.
And anything the Clinton Crime Family releases now will just be called...CRYING SOUR GRAPES !!!!
SO LET'S MOVE ON TO NOV. 8 AND MAKE THIS A LANDSLIDE AND START CLEANING THE SWAMP.
Are you all forgetting NEGATIVE numbers are REAL numbers? We are at -10,000% chance of voting for her. And that negative number is getting more negative with every passing moment.
Actually, the comments following the remarks suggest Luntz did not say the “something big” was against TRUMP.
There is as much out there suggesting the bombshell is coming for Hillary. These sources are a little higher up than Luntz. The former Asst. Director of FBI, among others.
Also, wiki leaks is using its own calendar to time their bombshells against Hillary. We can only assume they are holding the heaviest bombshell for last.
Further, the FBI does not require a warrant from Justice and therefore should be moving right along with their workd while delivering their own leaks-like-a-sieve, between now and November 8.
And if they knew even a small fraction of what we know about her history and bcakground other than the emails they wouldn’t vote for her at all....
And if they knew even a small fraction of what we know about her history and background other than the emails they wouldn’t vote for her at all....
I was just saying that 0.000% and 0.0000% are the same thing.
I was kidding with the other poster.
A Clinton Administration would begin by her pardoning herself and plunging the United States into a Constitutional crisis from which we would never recover.
