Shouldn't you wait until the results of the election before gloating?
You know who made really confident predictions last presidential election? Karl Rove. That cat was so wrong, he may never be right again.

If you want a thing too badly, you won't get it. Right now, I'm just trying to maintain an even strain.

This is the best we could come up with:
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

You know who else lost all credibility predicting a Republican win? Dick Morris. He was so confident and so bold I was sucked in by him. After the Islamic shock won, Morris ran yelping, tail between his legs. He hasn't been the same influence since. No. I'm hoping and praying for the best but am fully aware that this thing is far from predictable. Cautiously optimistic and encouraged by what I've seen of Trump in the last few weeks.

I'm not gloating that he's the winner. I'm simply gloating that he morphed out of the ass-clown phase into a formidable candidate.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened an investigation into the Donald J. Trump Foundation
Schneiderman is a DEM (of course)
2 billion dollar Clinton Foundation gets a pass (of course)
There will be a lot of this between now and 11/8. The Dems need negative Trump headlines. There won't be a real "investigation" per se...that's not the goal. The point is that it gives the CBS Evening News a Trump negative headline to run instead of anything about Hitlery.
Watch for no shortage of these manufactured headlines as we move forward.

If anybody dare go to that underground lefty website, you can read about all of their plans.

I think Trump will win. Hillary is the weakest candidate the Democrats have put forward in many years. BUT... they are not to be underestimated. They have over the course of generations developed a "ground game," especially in the big cities, that is highly organized. They have their people at all levels of every state, organized to drive voters to the polls, and dish out "walking around money" to insure that they vote. They have legions of dead voters. No matter who the candidate is, the Democrat machine will crank out millions of votes.
I don't know whether overconfidence hurt us last time. Maybe evangelicals, for example, sat home because they believed Romney would win anyway. --Whatever the case, the last thing we need would be to sit back and wait to gloat.

Proposed tax deduction for childcare for up to 4 children at the average cost of childcare for their State. In Washington, that average is $1,500 per month. That proposal would provide up to a yearly $72,000 tax deduction per family.
Also in the proposal is a required 6 weeks of paid maternity leave.

Obama at fundraiser yesterday
“[T]his shouldn’t be close, but it’s close,” Obama told a group of donors in New York City on Tuesday. “The presidential race we should win, but Donald Trump got the nomination, so weird stuff happens.”
“The stakes are really high.”
Obama mocked Republican party for their divisions, pointing out that he didn’t even have to veto very much legislation.
Under Speaker Paul Ryan, he noted, House Republicans “can’t even pass their own priorities”
“I don’t generally even have to veto anything because they can’t get organized enough even to present the cockamamie legislation that they’re interested in passing,” he said, as the audience laughed.
“It is a cliché that every election is the most important in our lifetime,” he said. “But I got to tell you, this one? This one counts.”
Earlier in the day, Obama campaigned for Clinton in Philadelphia urging his supporters to back her.
“I am really into electing Hillary Clinton,” he said. “This is not me going through the motions here. I really, really, really want to elect Hillary Clinton .”
