Just like Obama in Germany.....drew a large crowd because of a pop star act before him.

Lame.

I seriously believe her campaign strategy was to strictly avoid, as much as possible, interacting with the real voters — because of the potential for uncertainty and lack of control they might have that goes along with that. They know she’s not a good people person..horrible at it. Instead they focused completely on fundraising, and let the machine do the work! Now the machine does cost A LOT of money, somewhere north of a half a billion dollars, but they thought hey ‘it’s waaay less risky’ then real campaigning with “everyday americans”!


Now is the time for the American people to toss their sabots into the globalist machine and wreak it.

It’s the Globalists vs the Hegemonists (is that a word??). Hence the new tensions between our ruling political class here in the US and Russia. They reminisce for the old days 2 world powers . I noticed that over the last week the administration, pissed about WikiLeaks dump, is trying to making the case for going after Russia. I think one thing they will try to do is shut down WikiLeaks. I don’t know how they have their operation set up, servers and locations etc. But it wouldn’t surprise me if the goal would be to shut Wikileaks down so the more damaging dirt doesn’t get out before the election, which in this way would be “for the sake of National Security” of course. They need to protect Clinton (and possibly also protect their own as$). Already there is news out there about major news outlet reporters sending the administration drafts of their articles for seeking Whitehouse approval, and apology messages. That does not make the administration look good. I think odds are somewhat high now there may be a huge WikiLeak Dump soon to get most of its information out before possible shut down. We will see, eh?

I admit I’ve seen the very small Hillary bumper stickers (the small ones you can barely read), and always on a Toyota Prius. I’m sure they’re also on Subaru outbacks etc somewhere, but I have only see three Hillary stickers so far in all my driving both in- and out of state, ironically all on Prius.

Jeff Kuhner Show today was talking about those emails where the MSM was coordinating with the Clinton campaign: basically to get their approval. The level of collusion is sickening.

....Meaning, the globalists - as being our political class, elites in finance and academia, media etc. Whereas Russia on the other hand is longing for the days of greater hegemony.

The checkers game people are paying attention to right now is the Hillary and Trump battle, but the real war this moment is the chess game between our political class and Russia. Trump is just caught in the middle.. That said, I like that Hillary's corruption and lies, media lies, and administration lies are being exposed finally. Hopefully that gets out before "the big shut-down." You know, they can't just shut it down all of a sudden (bad appearances of just doing it for Hillary). They have to build a case with the public, have the media write stories over a period of time to frame it just right... I see that happening this week. Kind of funny they always have to announce what they intend to do...reminds me of Trumps speech about Mosul and ISIS.

That's EXACTLY the problem with Hillary Clinton.

She is nothing more than "manufactured bull$hit."

Trump's momentum will carry him to victory on Nov 8th.

Hillary's "manufactured bull$hit" will leave her by the side of the road.

The VOTERS know the difference.

Yeah, and how may of us here didn't know that the media was building up Trump during he primaries for the Clinton campaign too! Yeah the media were getting great ratings doing it too. But they favored Trump, as we now know from WikiLeaks Podesta email today, because that's who Podesta wanted Hillary to run against! As he said, (paraphrasing) 'her numbers were crap against everyone else and destined to fail, except for Her vs. Trump.'
