But her bet is that the liberal coalition will show up and that swing voters who do not love her will nonetheless decide that they prefer her to a Republican party out of touch with most people’s concerns. It’s not a bad bet.

It's not a bad bet if the GOP candidate is anyone but Trump.

Donald Trump changes this dynamic considerably, especially the "out of touch" part. But National Review still has their heads in the sand as to why he is leading.

I can’t wait to see the polls from NEW YORK. Trump is going to take all 50 states. Hillary and Biden couldn’t make dog catcher. How can anyone, anyone, except some union leader hacks be those two?

IF the union leadership were smart, they’d cozy up to Trump.

Hey, Dorkwiller:

“...There’s a federal government with $3 trillion in assets”

I cannot understand your complete lack of knowledge as to what an ‘asset’ is.

The US Government owns LOTS of land.

Land is an asset.

Land is just one of many assets which the US Government has that add up to much more than “$3 trillion in assets.”

Class dismissed.

This is why Clinton will win the White Hut. The Rats already start out with over 250 electoral votes before the first red state even comes in. They just have to steal Cuyohoga County and Miami Beach and the Presidency is Hillary’s.

The GOPe will offer no resistance. If anything they will help Hillary if Trump wins the nomination. The hope needs to be with Trump, he can steal NY and possibly Jersey by bringing over the unions and the munis to his side.

If that happens, he wins the White House.

I’ve said it before:

Any nation that elects Hillary as president has forfeited its right to exist.

He didn’t need 14 paragraphs to explain why.

1) Romney was absolutely correct. 47% will pull the D lever no matter what because they’re addicted to freebies.

2) Promises of student loan forgiveness will surely send enough young voters crawling over broken glass to get to the polls and put her over the top.

The Democratic nominee will also probably benefit from a slight edge in the Electoral College.

Yep. The dems' electoral caliphate guarantees 245+ EVs before the first popular vote is tallied. The GOP candidate has very little room for error on Election Day.

Painful as it is, the election is still Ubershrew's to lose. There's always the hope she'll suffer a major medical event that'll sideline her. The other hope is turnout on the dems side will be depressed enough this time around for the GOP nominee to overcome the D+6 spread and squeak through. And it doesn't matter who the GOP sends forward; the darkside will own the advantage.

Doesn't mean there's no hope, but the good old days of GOP blowouts are done. America isn't that country anymore.

I do not disagree with the title. But the reason is that I think Americans are stoopid low information voters, who are easily controlled by the monolith liberal media and academia. We re-elected an epic failure who has a terrible record. Not sure if I will ever see a Republican ever elected again in my lifetime.

"Can she win if she’s in prison?"

Or, if any justice is left in the U.S., tried, convicted, sentenced, and hanging from some gallows.

True story that. We need a winner this time around. My concern is that The Donald won’t pass muster with the single issue voters. Will the christian right come out for Donald? We will see.

It may be that Republican victories in legislative and gubernatorial elections don’t carry over to presidential elections for structural reasons.

Thats because the low information voter drones come out in waves for presidential elections, but are watching the Kardashians when the adults vote in midterms.

So why is she losing in the polls against any Republican even a generic one in swing states, including I believe Pennsylvania, part of the so-called blue wall?

Her mishandling of official e-mails as secretary of state, along with her clumsy lies about it, have kept generating unflattering coverage.

NR doesn't give a damn about 4 decades of deception and lies from Hillary Clinton. From Watergate to child rape cases to Whitewater to 900 illegally obtained FBI files to her 'Sluts and Nuts' attack on the rape victims of Bill Clinton to pork barrel futures ($3,000 into $100,000) to Dead Vince Foster and scrubbers in his office taking papers to Sandy Berger stealing documents that could implicate Bill Clinton's administration in the 9-11-2001 attacks.

None of it matters. But find a toe-tapper in the GOP and it is evidence of a culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of the GOP.

The communist Democrats have convinced the illegal alien Xenos that it is okay for them to vote. That will be the deciding factor. However, it will be easier to prove this time that the Democrats engaged in voter fraud and we might finally be able to do something about it.

Those same women were silent when the Left was telling rape jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter on television. Those same women were silent when Leftists were using the C*** word and B**** word against Sarah Palin in the 2008 election.

Their sistahood card has been revoked. They are brainwashed NOW-Marxists.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives
Frontpagemag.com ^ | 9-2-2014 | Mallory Millett (NOW founder Kate Millett’s sister)

“When women go wrong men go right after them.” – Mae West

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago.

During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you’ll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!”

What a giggle we girls had over that. “How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are,” we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.

Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, “Come to New York. We’re making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.”

I hadn’t seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.

And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”

It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:

“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”

Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?

“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.

They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.

It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish.

To me, this sounded silly. I was enduring culture shock after having been cut-off from my homeland, living in Third-World countries for years with not one trip back to the United States. I was one of those people who, upon returning to American soil, fell out of the plane blubbering with ecstasy at being home in the USA. I knelt on the ground covering it with kisses. I had learned just exactly how delicious was the land of my birth and didn’t care what anyone thought because they just hadn’t seen what I had or been where I had been. I had seen factory workers and sex-slaves chained to walls.

How could they know? Asia is beyond our ken and, as they say, utterly inscrutable, and a kind of hell I never intended to revisit. I lived there, not junketed, not visited like sweet little tourists — I’d conducted households and tried to raise a child. I had outgrown the communism of my university days and was clumsily groping my way back to God.

How could twelve American women who were the most respectable types imaginable — clean and privileged graduates of esteemed institutions: Columbia, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Vassar; the uncle of one was Secretary of War under Franklin Roosevelt — plot such a thing? Most had advanced degrees and appeared cogent, bright, reasonable and good. How did these people rationally believe they could succeed with such vicious grandiosity? And why?

I dismissed it as academic-lounge air-castle-building. I continued with my new life in New York while my sister became famous publishing her books, featured on the cover of “Time Magazine.” “Time” called her “the Karl Marx of the Women’s Movement.” This was because her book laid out a course in Marxism 101 for women. Her thesis: The family is a den of slavery with the man as the Bourgeoisie and the woman and children as the Proletariat. The only hope for women’s “liberation” (communism’s favorite word for leading minions into inextricable slavery; “liberation,” and much like “collective” – please run from it, run for your life) was this new “Women’s Movement.” Her books captivated the academic classes and soon “Women’s Studies” courses were installed in colleges in a steady wave across the nation with Kate Millett books as required reading.

Imagine this: a girl of seventeen or eighteen at the kitchen table with Mom studying the syllabus for her first year of college and there’s a class called “Women’s Studies.” “Hmmm, this could be interesting,” says Mom. “Maybe you could get something out of this.”

Seems innocuous to her. How could she suspect this is a class in which her innocent daughter will be taught that her father is a villain? Her mother is a fool who allowed a man to enslave her into barbaric practices like monogamy and family life and motherhood, which is a waste of her talents. She mustn’t follow in her mother’s footsteps. That would be submitting to life as a mindless drone for some domineering man, the oppressor, who has mesmerized her with tricks like romantic love. Never be lured into this chicanery, she will be taught. Although men are no damned good, she should use them for her own orgasmic gratification; sleep with as many men as possible in order to keep herself unattached and free. There’s hardly a seventeen-year-old girl without a grudge from high school against a Jimmy or Jason who broke her heart. Boys are learning, too, and they can be careless during high school, that torment of courting dances for both sexes.

By the time Women’s Studies professors finish with your daughter, she will be a shell of the innocent girl you knew, who’s soon convinced that although she should be flopping down with every boy she fancies, she should not, by any means, get pregnant. And so, as a practitioner of promiscuity, she becomes a wizard of prevention techniques, especially abortion...
