I believe there are certain things Trump needs to drive home to win. (1) Hillary is a WARMONGER - This needs to be repeated over and over. - She supported us attacking Libya. Libya was not a threat to us or anyone. In fact, they opened their weapons arsenal for inspections. They are now a failed state. Thanks, hillary. - She supported the overthrow of Syria by supplying weapons to terrorists. Hundreds of thousands of innocent Christians and others have died as a result of hillary and obama. This GENOCIDE is on their hands. - Hillary and obama quietly supported...

It is time for the Trump campaign to embrace new language regarding the MSM`s clear disregard for nuetrality It is no longer accurate or effective to refer to it as media bias. Not only is media bias an innacurate term, it`s a term that is used so often, that people tune it out. The truth of the matter is much worse than simply media bias.The new language Trump needs to use in the debates is to call it a conspiracy. We are dealing with a conspiracy to keep pertinent information from the voting public.If he faces the same lopsided questioning...

This poll is gonna be updated from here on out daily at 830a. Last week same poll had Trump up by 5. These are the first post debate #'s. Since its been up since 830a I'm surprised to be first to post this today. Trump has to stick to his Vision during debate, and not try to get caught up in her stupid data bombs. His vision on immigration, economics, and everything else is so much letter and he needs to stay focused on conveying such, and bring up her scandals at the same time.

In my neck of the woods Hillary is running an ad that starts with an audio of Trump saying something about a woman's figure (maybe from a beauty pageant, who knows?). The ad then asks, is the role model you want for your daughters? The ad ends with pictures of little girls looking sad. Trump needs to counter this. Let soccer moms hear that audio of Hillary laughing as she talks about how she successfully defended a child rapist. Get it on TV. Get it on Facebook.

How else would they have been able to get that amount of Dem support for the veto overide?

Free speech is under attack when the content doesn't comply with the leftist agenda. Colin Kaeperbick is praised across the country by liberals for his Anti-American views, and even praised by the president. On the other hand, NFL players, baseball players and other celebrities are ostracized and even punished for tweets or comments that don't confirm to mainstream media narrative. And don't even think about posting a pro-Trump comment on Facebook! Yard signs are stolen, supporters are harassed, and angry protesters have gotten violent. It's been so difficult to express support for Trump that many people have kept quiet, even...

Clinton fired FBI Director William Sessions in the wake of Waco. Trump should fire Comey and appoint someone who will follow up on the Clinton email server scandal, Clinton Foundation and Operation Fast & Furious

I watched Congress questioning Comey for about 10 minutes this morning and am totally disgusted. It is abundantly clear that the FBI is corrupt and Comey is a Clinton operative. Comey didn't give one straight answer and ducked and dodged every question about Hillary and her staff. America is no officially a banana republic.

Even with two years remaining in her term, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen may quit if Donald Trump is elected president, an economist argued on Tuesday. Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients that Trump doubled down on criticism of the Fed during his debate with Hillary Clinton. Trump said the U.S. economy is in a “big, fat, ugly bubble” and specifically called out Yellen. “And we have a Fed that’s doing political things. This Janet Yellen of the Fed,” he said. “The day Obama goes off, and he leaves, and goes out...

I hope Trump pays little or nothing in taxes. In fact, I wish the federal government would take less from him than they already do. The money Trump save on taxes he then uses to create businesses that employ 10s of thousands of workers. These workers all pay federal taxes and will continue to pay taxes far, far,...FAR in excess of any money the federal government would have confiscated from Trump. Trump may or may not pay taxes, but he most certainly creates significant tax revenues. What would be smart is for the federal government to invest in Trump, allow...

So the first presidential debate is over. I didn't watch it, as I cannot stand listening to Hillary for even 5 seconds. But I was out and about today. I noticed a lot of Trump signs on lawns. Those signs weren't there last week. I live in a NE rust-belt state. Make of all that what you will.

Hillary no longer remembers her Secretary of State years and calling TPP The Gold Standard. https://youtu.be/MpLQzeCoNnA Hillary Clinton Praises TPP As “Gold Standard In Free Trade Agreements” “This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field,”

Old marxist rethoric ( wealthy against poors ) , personnal attacks , the "racism" argument ( poor and pathetic ) , denial and lies and fake smiles . TRUMP should have been tougher on the personnal vicious attacks from that snaky CLINTON . It could have been bloodier for H CLINTON since she began with personnal attacks

Pence needs to bring up the following points: 1. Did you resign from DNC Chair to allow Debbie Wasserman-Shultz who was Hillary's 2008 election campaign chair to assume the position and assure Hillary's victory in the 2016 primary? Was your being the VP the Payoff? 2. Was your being selected as Hillary's VP a result of the influence by Terry McAuliffe being on Hillary's VP selection team and a result of his loaning Hillary $1.3 million to purchase Hillary's Chapaqua house? 2. Did Terry McAulffe's influence on Hillary have anything to do with the shady deals with Hillary's brother Tony...

I lost count of the number of times Clinton said she was going to "invest" in this or that program last night. Liberals never get called-out on this language spin. At every opportunity we should remind them that what they really mean is tax and spend the proceeds of our labor.

This long forgotten – or completely UNKNOWN among the “snowflakes” and “yutes” -- HISTORY of the close relationship between the leftist "educated" (indoctrinated is more like it) "pseudo elite" dumb asses being churned out of colleges and universities here and the Marxist socialism (which, if not strangled in its crib, has ALWAYS morphed into communism) that has failed everywhere it has been tried may aid your understanding of the media's vicious hatred of Trump and his supporters (the now infamous “DEPLORABLES”). The sad fact is that the media here is overwhelmingly populated by these deluded dumb asses! Any nefarious, otherwise...

I have not seen one mention of Clinton referring to trump as ""Donald" thru the debate. Disrespectful! If Trump had called her Hilliary just once he would have been labeled terrible things. Her way of dismissing and making him less significant than her the Queen.

Trump in future debates should make these points: Secretary Clinton said last debate her secret and hidden email system was a "mistake". The only reason she now says it was a mistake was she was caught. If it was just a so-called innocent "mistake" why have all the people involved lawyered up and taken the 5th? If there is nothing to hide why is everyone hiding? Sadly, this type of reckless behavior and non-conformity to the rules is what people expect from the Clinton's. The American people deserve so much better. My record of hiring and promoting women is well...

Did John Dickerson just say what I think he said; "Trump probably can't get out of the rest of the debates."Help needed as I caught only the end of his piece, but we can easily imagine what preceded. Time ! , Slate ! show massive Trump victories. Even NBC concedes Trump did well. OMG.And Dickerson/CBS suggest he lost so badly he'd like to avoid further debates !

How would you grade Lester Holt? ...

Hillary doubled down that America is bad- "implicitly" biased - as she lambasted Americans as she has done before; "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it". This is how she views Americans. What a way to campaign by insulting the voters.

Random sound bite machine Spewing out incoherent answers that are non-sequiturs as a way of generating sound bites for later spin.

Hillary was very polished in her responses in tonight's debate, almost too polished. In fact, she was more polished than perhaps any politician I have ever seen in a debate. And calm. Hillary's emails show us that the DNC approved articles about Hillary for CNN. There's definite collusion between Hillary and the press. It's not even a small stretch to believe that perhaps there was collusion between Hllary and NBC's debate producers.

Those who are satisfied with business as usual will say Hillary won. Those who want higher taxes and bigger government will say Hillary. Those who think the Iran Nuke deal is a good deal will say Hillary. Those who think trade deals like NAFTA and TPP are great for America will say Hillary. Those who think inner city blacks and minorities have been treated great by the democrats and their socialist policies will say Hillary. Those who think Hillary will appoint great judges will say she won. Those who think Hillary can securely safeguard our nation's classified information and will...

When I first voted in this poll it said my vote was blocked due to suspicious voting activity. I went back and tried again then it said my vote was counted already. Very suspicious or just a glitch?

OMG! Hillary's drugs are wearing off! The first hour, she was perky and smart. NOW, she's all droopy eyed.

Listen to the difference. Hillary is right up against her mic but the sound is perfect. But listen when Trump speaks.It picks up every breath...

May 2nd 2016 I was banned from FR for criticizing FR. Suddenly my account is active again. What happened? I post this in news/activism only because someone may have an answer and my account is "too new" to allow me to email Jim Rob to find out.

The next president will likely appoint a 7-2 Supreme Court. Think this election is just politics as usual? Think again. If that president is Hillary Clinton… “I do have a litmus test, I have a bunch of litmus tests, because the next president could get as many as three appointments,” the former first lady responded. “It’s one of the many reasons why we can’t turn the White House over to the Republicans again.” . . . “We have to preserve marriage equality,” Clinton said. “We have to go further to end discrimination against the LGBT community, we’ve got to make...

About 2-3 weeks ago, Julian Assange related that he was going to release information through Wikileaks and doubted if HRC was going to be the dem nominee at the first debate. Well......where is this earth-shattering news, Jullian?

Ah, there's nothing like a referendum or two to set the emotions swirling and stir up political havoc. Add a nasty election to the mix, and you have a savoury stew of rancid, small-state nationalism along Europe's southern flank. Let's start with the referendum vote in Republika Srpska, which took place on Sunday. This entity has a violent and sordid history. Officially it is part of Bosnia, and once it was part of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia cracked apart into warring pieces in 1991. On Jan. 9, 1992 the self-declared Republika Srpska, made up almost entirely of Bosnian Serbs, asserted its "independence"...

Assange promised new material prior to the first debate....will he deliver?

Previous Editions:September 17, 2016September 10, 2016 (Premier Edition) Model Changes Since Last Week This week, I'm bringing back the "Tilt" designation. The Toss-Up category is being split into Tilt Democrat and Tilt Republican, but will not count towards the candidates' total. This will give visibility into how the toss up states are leaning. Maine has been split into the state and its two Congressional districts, in order to properly account for the likelihood that Maine CD-2 breaks with the state. I made a small change to the poll weighting algorithm to correct for turned off polls that were not outright...

This week Mark again brought up the fact that Trump did not agree to back the winning Republican candidate. He also criticized RNC chair Reince Priebus for telling those Republican politicians who did support the nominee that they may not receive RNC support when running for re-election.Here is the modus operandi of Mark Levin: He develops personal grudges, then searches for logic to support those grudges. Instead of attacking the RNC chair when he is doing the right thing, and bringing Trump's initial lack of support for the Republican nominee, he should be rallying against the evil, criminal Hillary. He...

Between 2003 and 2009 the Iraq war resulted in 109,032 deaths, which included 66,081 civilian deaths. George W. Bush's war is widely considered to be a disaster. In comparison, Obama's Syrian war has produced 470,000 deaths to date with civilian deaths estimated at north of 100,000. It's also produced a global refugee crisis and multiplied terror attacks around the world most notably the U.S. I call it Obama's war because, (a) he started it with his petulant and ill-advised Arab Spring movement, and (b) he greatly prolonged it through inaction and indecisiveness, which has emboldened Russia. Just a little tidbit...

One protester was allegedly shot as hundreds protested the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, in Charlotte on Wednesday. Protesters and police clashed in the city centre, with the former firing volleys of teargas at the demonstrators.

For several elections now I've followed the progress of the election on electoral-vote.com. Although their commentary is fairly strongly left-leaning, I have found their results to be pretty accurate. For the last several weeks I've been comparing their current data with the data from August 25. There are some interesting findings. Here are the weekly totals for the last 4 weeks: Date Clinton Trump Tied 8/25 332 191 15 9/1 303 191 44 9/8 294 226 18 9/15 274 258 6 9/22 289 245 4 So four weeks ago, Trump needed to gain 79 electoral votes, and Clinton could afford...

Trump on Fox News live now...

“Constant conflict is actually often good politics, because the more you can inflame your supporters the more likely they are to show up at Election Day,” Clinton said on Monday, according to CNN. Not Fox News! Not Breitbart! Politico! http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/bill-clinton-government-shutdown-president-obama-98310.html?hp=l2

I am needing help finding MSM articles, reports, Analysis that calmed that Obama's fiscal policies would reduce National Debt. I am looking for such for his firt run in 2007 against McCain. We now see many reports analysis stating that Trump's plans will increase our debt . I cant find any that say Obama's plans would increase or decrease the debt.

For future reference, a list of congressmen or major public figures who opposed transfer of ICANN to foreign control is important. Granted that some senators are taking a stand now, for political reasons, but FReepers can put that on the list as background information. Please keep your post brief so the list can be skimmed quickly. Or separate the name and your comment with a paragraph. Some FReepers have argued that the impending transfer on October 1, 2016 is akin to giving Communist China the Panama Canal--or worse: because they who control domain name listings, control Free Speech. Some FReepers...

Animation of Scottish Fold kittens singing, You Are My Sunshine! This is presented in memory of all the aborted children and the children who came to an untimely death because of abuse, sexually, domestic or drunk driving. This is my most hated and disliked file by ratings.

Assange has said he will release prior to the first debate information on Hillary that will require her to be indicted for criminal offenses. Among Bernie Sanders supporters, there is lots of talk that this included documentation that Bernie and his family were physically threatened with harm if Bernie did not withdraw from the Democratic Party Presidential nomination race. The campaign debates are next Monday and nothing so far?

QUESTION: Is Ahmad Khan Rahami a democrat?

As several highly knowledgeable authors and students of islam and the koran have correctly observed, the so-called “MODERATE MUSLIMS ARE IRRELEVANT” as they fail or, because they'll be MURDERED, are terrified to condemn their more overtly radical members. Unlike the fools we have placed at the highest levels of government here, these men (Dr. Bill Warner, Sabastian Gorka, Robert Spencer, etc) have ACTUALLY READ THE KORAN and fully understand the growing existential threat we face. (Search any of those names on Youtube for the TRUTH about islam. Spencer has an EXCELLENT 5 minute video there. Check out Warner's material as...
