Unless a “strong leader” means someone who lies, cheats and throws ashtrays.

Another interesting data point. Voters are a lot less optimistic about the future of their family and country today they they were in 2012. Worried voters don’t normally vote for the party currently in the White House.

Might be noise, might be significant. We will find out tonight.

Thomas Jefferson, that great Author of the Declaration of Independence and President of the United States provided us with an indisputable reason for rejecting a Hillary presidency:
"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson

Those wanting a strong leader have only one choice on the ballot.

One.

Drudge has this Headline and link in RED.
Yet he has a pic of Hillary instead of Trump.

Confusing to say the least.

And Politico has been paid by Clinton, incorporated plus has insider journalists helping Herself’s campaign. Nice to see them admit a bit of reality today.

Just about the very last thing that you can about Hillary is that she’s “strong”. Devious criminal yes, strong...well, just check her out trying to get in a car.

A smaller majority of voters describe themselves as “angry” (53 percent).

There's that 53% number again!

(Late last week, Rasmussen poll showed 53% felt Clinton should be indicted by FBI.)

I’d be happier if they were all saying they wanted someone to clean out the corruption. But strong leader....I’ll take it.

Yeah, Dems are actually delusional enough to think that she’s a “strong leader”.
