Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Clinton has been a dope about the foundation. She should have made commercials about it, showing children being saved from diseases, etc. Nobody knows what it does.

 

In the Fox head to head, she leads by six. The most interesting fact to me about the polling is that the undecided vote keeps going up. This confirms my belief that a decisive bloc of voters regards the election as an unpleasant choice they are going to put off as long as they possibly can.

 

The Bernie Bros are voting for Gary Johnson because ... I have no god blessed idea why.

 

These people are grifters, pure and simple.

But even as the Clintons got rich and grew their foundation into a $2 billion organization credited with major victories in the fights against childhood obesity and AIDS — while paying six figure salaries to top aides — Bill Clinton continued drawing more cash from the Former President's Act than any other ex-president, according to a POLITICO analysis. The analysis also found that Clintons’ representatives, between 2001, when the Clintons left the White House, and the end of this year, had requested allocations under the Act totaling $16 million. That’s more than any of the other living former presidents — Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush — requested during that span.

The program supplemented the income of Clinton’s staff, while providing them with coveted federal government benefits, alleviating the need for the Clinton Foundation or other Clinton-linked entities to foot the bill for such benefits. Similarly, Clinton aides got the GSA to pay for computer technology used partly by the foundation.

An analysis of the records provided by GSA, combined with Clinton Foundation tax returns, found that at least 13 of the 22 staffers who have been paid by GSA to work for Clinton’s personal office also worked for the Clinton Foundation.

 

Reuters only has her up +1 head-to-head - and he's back to rallying his base.

These are dangerous times for Hillary.

 

Nate Silver's "Now Cast" gave Trump a 3.6% chance of winning on August 8th.

Les than a month later, it's up to 26.8%.

Her bounce is gone. Her unfavorables continue to rise, and his unfavorables are dropping.

More and more people are seeing Trump as a viable alternative to Clinton.

Swing state polling is tightening as well. Her double digit leads in swing states are gone, and we're no longer hearing about Georgia, Texas, and Utah.

 

Republicans are looking better in the Senate too. Ohio and Indiana are going to stay GOP, as will Florida and Arizona.

Illinois is obviously lost.

 

So Trump doesn't have the stones to talk to Mexico's president about who will pay for the wall. But this morning, he tweets emphatically that Mexico will pay for it.

Talk about being passive-aggressive.

 

People are dumb, of course, for thinking so. But she really has only herself to blame and the Democratic party has only itself to blame for nominating someone with 30 years of smoke surrounding her.

 

I think it's more like being a coward. Acts meek in front of actual adversaries, talks all kinds of shit in the friendly confines of his rally. He is a bully, little more.

 

U.S.A. Soccer just called. You are suspended for six months.

 

This may be the only thing in this election that gets me truly angry, and it ultimately has little to do with politics or Donald Trump.
