...Roy Moore, a kindred spirit to the Washington outsider that Trump truly is, was poised to coast into a Senate seat for the great state of Alabama in the coming months before a wild and unverifiable accusation of sexual misconduct from thirty years ago surfaced last week. Now, as more and more evidence points to a setup by Mitch McConnell and his team of self preservationists, Moore’s supporters are doubling down on their enthusiasm for their candidate with a massive spike in donations. “CNN Political Reporter Rebecca Berg reported that Roy Moore’s campaign chairman told them the campaign’s fundraising has...

Donald Trump needs his supporters now more than ever because he is surrounded by an ever-growing list of enemies who are working overtime to nullify the 2016 presidential election results. One year ago, the political earth stood still with the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. A majority of American voters in 30 states awarded their electoral votes and the presidency to an outsider, a businessman and reality TV star with decades in the public eye, but no experience as an elected official. He won by running against the establishment in both political parties, the media,...

President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Republican senators, an approach he may regret if he is someday impeached and the Senate has to weigh charges against him stemming from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. More than half of the 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would be central to any proceeding to remove Trump from office, have tangled with the Republican president, including on Thursday when he fired off early-morning tweets.

Guest post by Ryan at American Lookout:   The attorney representing Bernie Sanders supporters in their lawsuit against the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz claims that they are receiving death threats… Beck’s Facebook post: Our co-counsel Cullin O’Brien now getting anonymous callers, talking about Cullin’s family and how federal prosecutor #BerantonWhisenant washed up dead on Hollywood Beach, same county as Cullin. We are sitting ducks. Beck responded to another a comment on her post: There’s a lot of crazy ppl out there, you think we’re a target for only “real assassins”? There’s imagery of Trump getting beheaded being put out...

A march supporting President Trump is expected to take place in Berkeley on Saturday, and while city officials said there’s little credible evidence of a major event materializing, they are worried about what will happen if counterprotesters show up.

Members of a storied Manhattan Republican club were booted during a heated meeting at its Upper East Side headquarters — because of their support for President Trump, sources told The Post. Tensions at the Metropolitan Republican Club on East 83rd Street — which counts state Republican Committee chief Ed Cox and former Mayor Mike Bloomberg as members — had been festering for months over Trump’s ascent to the presidency. After his surprise victory in November, sources said, the club’s old guard launched a campaign to cleanse Trump supporters. “They hate Donald Trump, and they were really pissed when he won,”...

Sunday night at the Golden Globes, actress Meryl Streep gave an anti-Trump speech when she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award. While most of Hollywood and the press were smitten by Streep, calling the speech "powerful" and "brave," at least two celebrities were not: Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn. A somewhat hilarious screenshot caught the two in various stages of "side-eye" during Streep's acceptance speech. Vaughn in particular looks as though he's about to explode, whereas Gibson just kind of looks annoyed.

Great video - with good knowledge of the issues. (Apologies that this is a little old news but it is quite appropriate). Diamond and Silk are right on topic - then they have callers who are enthusiastic Trump supporters who all sound like they read Free Republic!

DETROIT — “Imagine Jan. 20, 2017,” Hillary Clinton asked a couple of thousand supporters on Friday afternoon. “And imagine that my opponent is taking the oath of office in front of the Capitol.” Her fans booed. “Imagine having a president who demeans women and mocks the disabled, who insults African-Americans and Latinos and Muslims, who personally engages in busting unions and preventing people from having the right to bargain collectively,” she continued as her supporters booed more. As Clinton’s lead has shrunk just a few days before Election Day, she has started describing a potential Donald Trump presidency in more...

Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, just announced his decision. For his presidential vote on a mail-in ballot, he wrote in the failed 2008 Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. Apparently, Kasich found Wendell Willkie too difficult to spell. As for Kasich's voting dilemma, he mirrors the same angst experienced by many of my never-Trump Republican friends. One recently sent me the following email: "My sons -- early 30s -- are in town. I did not bring up Trump, or push. They know I am politically conservative and lean Republican. They said, Dad, you won't vote for Trump, right? I said,...

MUST WATCH: MSNBC interviews black women voters about Donald Trump. Very powerful! Share this video!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Supporters of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Saturday expressed anger and vindication over leaked comments made by Hillary Clinton to banks and big business that appeared to confirm their fears about her support for global trade and tendency to cozy up to Wall Street. Clinton, who needs Sanders' coalition of young and left-leaning voters to propel her to the presidency, pushes for open trade and open borders in one of the speeches, and takes a conciliatory approach to Wall Street, both positions she later backed away from in an effort to capture the popular...

One of the big questions heading into the Democratic National Convention late last month was whether Hillary Clinton could rally Bernie Sanders supporters to her side. Before the convention, many Sanders supporters said they would support Clinton in a two-way matchup against Donald Trump, but when pollsters offered them third-party candidates as an option, they abandoned her. Then, on the first night of the convention, Sanders gave his big speech urging his voters to support Clinton, and we can now see that the convention did help persuade some Sanders voters to switch. But about a third of Sanders’s voters are...

Keystone State residents said the former secretary of state can’t take winning Pennsylvania for granted, in spite of a historically favorable climate for Democrats. A Republican presidential candidate hasn’t carried Pennsylvania since George H.W. Bush in 1988. But one recent Quinnipiac University poll showed Donald Trump would beat Clinton in the state, and her backers recognize the threat.

Activist, author and investigative journalist James O’Keefe from Project Veritas went undercover as a Hillary supporter this week at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia. What transpired was shocking. James was dressed as a Hillary Clinton supporter and walked through the Bernie supporters outside the Wells Fargo Convention Center. The Bernie supporters REALLY do not like Hillary.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) adopted a slogan from the Republican National Convention in their protests against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Sunday: “Lock her up!” The Wall Street Journal reports: At a lively Sunday march in support of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, chants of “lock her up,” “Hillary for Prison” signs and t-shirts and calls for indictment were common among the most ardent supporters of Mr. Sanders, who arrived in Philadelphia to make their voices heard to the delegates attending the Democratic National Convention. “Hillary for Prison” shirts and bumper stickers...

PHILADELPHIA — It’s not just Republicans that want presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in prison.

Bernie Sanders supporters have been clinging to a hope that if the FBI recommended indictment for Hillary Clinton, there was a chance the Democratic Party would dump her and nominate Bernie instead. That hope ended this week. Now that the FBI has let her off the hook, nothing will stop her nomination. Many Bernie supporters are disgusted and who could blame them? Some of these people could end up voting for Trump. Probably not millions of them but some. This phenomenon is getting notice in some corners of the blogosphere. Trump has told them they’re welcome to join him We’ll...

Donald Trump supporters are loyal, and they believe in his vision for America. There is no way they would side with Hillary Clinton for a second. First, let me say I am angry she's even being nominated to run by a party that had excused her many problems and issues that include breaking the law, lying about it under oath, allowing Americans to die when they asked for more security, not even a few weeks ahead of the Benghazi attack. Hillary is tainted like spoiled milk. She's got mad cow disease which is probably why she makes stupid decisions. Hillary will never...

Trump supporter Shannon Riggs and her cousins expected some flack from protesters at Donald Trump’s rally in Richmond, Virginia, however, they did not expect what happened when they stopped for dinner at the Cook Out hamburger joint, clad in their Trump T-shirts and hats after the rally.
