The most corrupt candidate in the history of the presidency, Hillary Clinton, is cruising toward victory. If the election were held today, she’d win in excess of 360 electoral votes. She’s currently leading in Pennsylvania (+9.2 percent), Michigan (+6.6 percent), Ohio (+2.6 percent), Virginia (+8 percent), New Hampshire (+8.2 percent), Georgia (+0.3 percent), Florida (+3.6 percent), Iowa (+0.4 percent), Wisconsin (+9.4 percent), Colorado (+11 percent), North Carolina (+2 percent), Nevada (+2.3 percent). Trump’s barely ahead in Arizona (+0.3 percent) and Missouri (+5.3 percent).
How in the world is she winning?
In the last three months, the head of the FBI has said she was “extremely careless” with classified material and came whisker-close to indicting her. Every day, new headlines break about the cozy and likely illegal relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department. She’s unlikable, she’s nasty, and she’s boring.
How can she be blowing out anyone, even Donald Trump?
The answer lies in what economist George Gilder might call the “information theory” of politics. Gilder says that the economy runs on new information changing the equilibrium. In essence, there is a steady drone of old information in the economy – and that’s what creates an economic status quo. Both entrepreneurial successes and devastating depressions add new information to the economy, which is why you see movement in the markets.
But old information doesn’t change anything.
This is the problem with Hillary: she doesn’t add any new information to the system. We already knew Hillary was deeply corrupt from her time in the White House. From Whitewater to Chinagate, from Travelgate to leading up the coverup for Bill’s sexual harrassments, Hillary’s corruption has been top of mind for well over two decades.
And her threats to national security have been well known for years, too. In 1996, the Clinton campaign allegedly took Chinese donations in return for declassifying sensitive missile technology, which the Chinese then used for their weaponry. So it’s no surprise to find out that she’d willingly sell access to foreign nations in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation slush fund.
In other words, she’s been so dirty for so long that it’s almost impossible to add new information to the system. All she has to do is continue to be the same old kind of dirty we already knew she was, and she’ll waltz her way to the White House.
Trump promised to expose Hillary to criticism she’d never felt before, but he hasn’t done it. Instead, Trump has provided new information to the system every day. While we’ve known Trump for as long (longer!) than Hillary, we didn’t know him on a political level in any serious way. We knew him as an entertaining business magnate and personal branding specialist. But nobody had any real perspective on his view of disabled reporters and Mexican judges. While Hillary refuses to add any new information to the system, Trump’s adding new information every day. That’s why Hillary’s campaign continues to maintain stability while Trump’s seems to bump up and down, nearly at random.
This means that if Trump wants to win, he’ll have to somehow reverse that polarity. He’ll have to force Hillary off her game – he’ll have to give us new information, a new angle about her. We already knew Hillary was Crooked Hillary; labeling her that doesn’t change the background noise. And we didn’t know that Trump was as volatile as he’s proven to be.
Trump needs to stabilize, of course. And then he needs to punch at Hillary, expose information about her most people don’t know. That’s tougher than it looks. We now live in an era where politicians benefit from surviving years of corruption – it makes them seem stable by comparison with newbies who make lots of mistakes and commit lots of sins. That’s Hillary’s major advantage, even more than the media that licks her boots. And that’s the advantage Trump will have to overcome.
She’s ahead by only two points in the Zogby and Cal. polls; if so, how can she be leading by near double digits in places like PA while Trump is barely carrying Arizona? I think someone is way off the mark here.
Any thinking person knows this, and that knowledge is confirmed by the massive crowds that Trump attracts wherever he goes.
It's going to be a landslide, epic win for Trump, followed by the biggest bloodless elimination of establishment politicos in history.
Clinton Crime Inc. (CCI) might actually pull it off. Well, they may be able to jam in enough dead/illegal voters, generate enough fake mail-in ballots, lose enough pro Trump precinct results etc. to win by the false numbers... But if it looks like Trump should have won - you know, because his rallies draw thousands while CCI can only muster a few dozen along with some paid or coerced sheep...
Well, that might be bad. Make it too obvious and who knows, some of the peasants might actually rise up and demand action. Congress might actually be stirred into motion. Military officers with integrity, a conscious, and who took their oath seriously might act.
So to prevent what might be another "historic first" for the 'rats - but one they really don't want to be a part of - they have to lay the groundwork. They have to make it seem, no matter how blatantly false, that there's good reason why CCI might win. Never mind what your lyin' eyes are telling you, our professional number manipulators pollsters can show you mathematically how CCI should win.
In short, this is all just groundwork for the big lie in November. Get ready.
Shapiro is a lying, GOPe worm. He could have easily fudged the stats to back his case.
There is just way to much riding on this election for the dimocraps to loose... Dimocraps GOT to win... By hook or crook.. Lots of people going to jail for bribery, extortion, racketeering... Maybe even the Hildabeast HERSELF.!! Wouldn’t that be great.!!
Better buckle your seat belt kiddies, we’re for a rough ride..!!
Donald J. Trump Remarks on Creating a New and Better Future for America's Inner Cities
There is a resaon the press isn't talking much about it.
there is a reason the press is giving valuble ad air time to dead end third party candidates.
IT is the M.o. of the establishment. If the election is close, split the votes of the opposition. Follow the money.
Go take a Xanax, Ben.
Hildebeast is NOT winning big. If she pulls it out it will be by no more than 3 to 4 percent.
Ditto Trump. The numbers are very much stuck based on that 47% who reliably votes for freebies.
It's up to the press, not him, which story the press gives more coverage to.
Plus, it's not as though he only gets one shot at delivering the points made.
Check the "Characteristics of Candidate Support" tab in USC Dornsife / LA Times Presidential Election "Daybreak" Poll, especially the African American graph.
With ad buys and other moves, the shift on the polls will be preoccupying the press, and Trump can keep hammering the general point he made last night. If you want more of the same self-serving government, vote for her.
Why is GOPe author, whom I used to respect, lying and saying she is winning big? Oh, I answered my question already. He’s part of the Cheney, McCain, Grahamnesty, McConnell, Bush posse.
Because of turncoats like Ben Shapiro.
As well of the disadvantage of backstabbers like you Shapiro.
Yep, another tool of the defenders of the corrupt status quo. Although Stein may be an interesting addition, she has nothing good to say about Hillary - including Hillary being a risk to national security. Another place where Stein and Trump are in alignment is "rigging of the election" via manipulation of public perception by propaganda masquerading as "objective news."
Demographics is and always was destiny
We left the door open too long
And as an added bonus feminism killed white women’s urge to birth
Because the presstitutes are lying.
Tokyo Rose, Berlin Betty or Lord Haw Haw.,,,,,,,,,,,,, Berlin Betty? I remember Axis Sally, I don’t remember Betty. Our media is run by Baghdad Bob. Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally at least provided entertainment.
Trump needs to be more combative and aggressive. He should adopt scorched earth tactics and shred Hitlery with everything he has. The polls should improve dramatically.
She’s not. The media elite may someday realize that no ones listens to them anymore. Every time the news comes on my radio in the car, I turn it off. The PBS types are the only ones that are controlled by the media.
Yeah...the proper name she was known for was Axis Sally. As kids we referred to her as Berlin Betty—I guess probably a kick back from Hogan’s Heroes or something. But that was back in the 60s-70s.
Because Liberals have a monopoly on all broadcasting equipment from which the Public gets it's information.
Because of their monopoly, they can get away with refusing to report derogatory information about Hillary, and they can fill the airwaves with derogatory information and speculation regarding Trump.
Elections are being manipulated by Liberal control of Media. We need to put a stop to it.
