Trump is going to win in a landslide. How do I know? I have 4 Trumpocrats who are my own close relatives. That was the biggest shock to me in 2016.
Waiting for the Clinton campaign to be asked if they disavow Communist Party USA who endorsed them months ago..awww who am I kidding, like they would be asked ANYTHING
They’ll gladly vote for Hillary now that she blames Black people for her problems

(Take Two - How Hillary Clinton turned herself into the consummate Washington player)
Hillary Clinton was no one’s obvious bet to succeed at this game. But she seems to have decided to conduct herself almost point by point in response to her failures in her husband’s administration. Before she was even sworn in, she went to pay obeisance to the very man who had all but driven a stake through her health-care plan, Senator Robert C. Byrd. Smart move. “I was not exactly a disciple,” Byrd told me. “I thought she would play upon her having been a president’s wife and expect to have a lot of favors done, a lot of bending and bowing.” He added huffily, “That didn’t concur with my impression of what a senator should be.”
Instead, Clinton asked Byrd for advice on being a good senator, and got a primer on how to comport herself. Afterward, she announced her intention to heed Byrd’s advice: “Be a workhorse, not a show horse.” (Surprisingly, I found that he said the same thing in 1973 to a fresh-faced young senator named Joe Biden—proof that, however well intentioned, advice doesn’t always take.)
The meeting with Byrd accomplished two things: it sent a public signal about how Clinton planned to conduct herself in her new job, and it sent a private signal to Byrd that she wanted to apprentice herself to him. A Senate staffer told me that Clinton also asked Byrd at the meeting if he would lead a series of classes for the freshmen, which she would arrange, on his specialty of parliamentary rules and procedures. Byrd delightedly agreed. For more than a year, groups of senators large and small filed through Byrd’s ornate office in the Capitol for their lessons. There was no question who was the star pupil.
Clinton made a big impression on Byrd, but she didn’t get what she wanted right away. When she tried enlisting his help to gain a seat on the Appropriations Committee, she was rebuffed. But the apprentice had studied hard. One afternoon Byrd was meeting with staff in his office beneath the Senate chamber when a knock came at the door. It was Clinton, and with a companion. She apologized for dropping by unannounced, but she was just walking by and, well—“Senator Byrd, I wanted you to meet my mother. She just loves to listen to your speeches on Mother’s Day!” The three fell into eager conversation.
Clinton has kept up the role of courtier throughout her term, nourishing Byrd’s vanity with flattery and deference. A prominent early supporter of the Iraq War, she nevertheless nominated Byrd for the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute’s Four Freedoms Award, which he won for his outspoken opposition to the war. To get an idea of what a big deal this sort of thing is to Byrd, consider that his 2005 autobiography painstakingly details what must be every honor he has ever received, a topic of remarkably little interest to just about anyone else. Yet it fails to mention in its 817 pages the historic Clinton health-care plan. In Living History, Clinton absolves him of even his ruinous refusal to attach it to the reconciliation bill: “In retrospect and based on my service in the Senate, I agree with his assessment.”

ROBERT BYRD & HILLARY CLINTON

Don’t tell anybody but I’m a white supremacist
Communist Party USA (CPUSA) endorses Crooked, Lying, Influence pedaling, Pay for Play HilLIARy Clinton.
If Glo is about to come out with some sort of lie, she must be stopped before she can open her mouth. Too many teittoleena in their 20s would believe such a lie so she’d have to be stopped.
IMO Trump is far distanced from the white supremacists. Hillary’s history and action’s places her closer to those miscreants than Trump ever could be, both geographically and philosophically.
Trump doesn’t want your vote.
“IIRC, the head of the KKK endorsed Hillary! Not kidding.”
Thanks. I remembered one of those groups endorsed and couldn’t remember which.
When is Hillary going to disavow the American Communist Party endorsement?

CLINTON PAYS TRIBUTE TO SEN. BYRDs
July 17, 1994
Author/Byline: ERIN KELLY
President Clinton paid homage to Sen. Robert C. Byrd on Sunday night, joking about the senator’s reputation for bringing federal projects to West Virginia.
“Senator Byrd said he couldn’t support the space station unless I was willing to move the U.S. capital to West Virginia,” the president said. Pausing, he added, “I’m still considering it.”
The president spoke to about 1,000 people at the Grand Hyatt Hotel at a tribute to Byrd in honor of the West Virginia Democrat’s 35th year as a senator.
Byrd began his political career in the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1946, the year Clinton was born. Despite their age difference, Clinton said he and Byrd share the same humble country roots. “I admire Robert Byrd, and based on his own family history, I identify with him so much,” Clinton said. “If this were not a truly astounding country, Robert Byrd could not have become who he is.”
The tribute, sponsored by the non-profit West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C., raised about $200,000 toward the creation of a Robert C. Byrd Library in the senator’s home state.
The proposed library would offer scholars and the public a place to study the history and inner workings of Congress, with emphasis on the Senate and the leadership role Byrd has played, tribute spokesman Mike Fulton said.
A site for the library has not been chosen, and it is not known how much the privately funded building ultimately will cost to build, staff and maintain, Fulton said.
“It’s an ambitious project that is just in the formative stage,” said Mike Perry, chairman of the Huntington Chamber of Commerce and one of the volunteers who will raise funds for the library.
“Hopefully, this tribute will be the spark that ignites it.”
Perry said a library would be an especially fitting memorial to Byrd, who is known as the Senate’s unofficial historian and Congressional scholar. The senator has written two books on the history and traditions of the Senate.
Clinton said he has read the books cover to cover. “I did so fearing I would be given an exam,” Clinton joked.

BYRD SOARS ON GUSTS OF RHETORIC
March 31, 1993
WASHINGTON - Robert Byrd, the crafty and theatrical chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, has been at the center of the fight over President Clinton’s proposal to spend $16.3 billion to stimulate the economy this year.
As floor manager for the Clinton legislation, Byrd has confronted hostile Republicans and reluctant Democrats with moves that confirmed his reputation as a master of parliamentary finagling and oratory.
INFURIATING TACTICS
His rhetoric has entertained, but his tactics have infuriated minority Republicans who are threatening to delay Clinton’s bill with a filibuster.
Almost single-handedly, Byrd has used his detailed knowledge of the Senate rules to shepherd Clinton’s economic-stimulus package through the mine-filled territory of the Senate. Using Senate rules to do a maneuver called “filling up the amendment tree,” Byrd has all but precluded major modifications to Clinton’s $16 billion package.
“It’s been a vintage performance by the senator from West Virginia,” said Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming, the Republican whip, who is a renowned rhetorician. “I disagree with his tactics but respect his grandiloquence.”
Byrd was courted carefully by Clinton. Only last week, the two had a private meeting at the White House in which Byrd unveiled his strategy for moving Clinton’s package through the Senate. Those who were familiar with the meeting say it was Byrd’s idea to put himself on the line for the new president.
He’ll get a ton of them, but not so many black supremacists, or islamist supremacists, or la Raza supremacists... they’ll vote for the Beast.
Has anybody asked the Beast if she’ll take the votes from those groups?
Looks like the Southern Poverty Law Center is busy. Morris Dees brother was a registered gun dealer, he was the chief campaign fundraiser for Ted Kennedy, and may have done his best work while he was wearing a bullet proof vest and armed. By the standards they apply to everything that moves, and having know of one person who used to work for them from Fort Smith Southside High School—Dixie no more—the moon trees planted on the Confederate Capitals of Arkansas and Alabama are a form of interplanetary racism which can only be best addressed to as a subject by George Takei.
Yeah? No kiddin’???
Why, just the other day, I saw about 31 or 32 (it may have been 33, I dunno) of them running down the street, waving “White Power!!!!” signs, wearin’ them there pointy bedsheets on their heads, and stuff...
Yeah, they’re everywhere.../S (obviously)...
Of course they did.
They endorsed Kerry too; specifically did NOT run a candidate for the first time in decades just to help get him into the WH.
But somehow, that’s okay...
Don’t accept the premise. The white supremacists are historically Democrat.
Hellary is more than happy to get votes from illegals and other criminals.
