Klinton made a campaign stop here during the primaries a couple of months ago. Us local uniforms got the pleasure of guarding the vehicles while she was inside giving her speech. (Which suits me fine, I didn't have to hear her shrill bullshit). One of the USSS agents told me to keep an eye on one of their vans, he said it was full of machine guns. I made the comment that they had no place on America's streets. He laughed about it as if he got the meaning.

Bernie was in town shortly after that and I got stuck on that detail too. Seems that his SS detail seemed a bit more genuine about him.

In both cases, the secret service folks were really professional.

I met exactly one SS agent in my life. The dad of a high school buddy was an agent. He did a little executive protection but was mostly on the counterfeiting side. On one of the "bring dad to work" days he came in with some counterfeit bills to show us and a polygraph machine. He hooked a few guys up and we had fun asking them what cheerleaders they fooled around with

I put no faith in polls. Whatsoever. What the candidates do is more telling. Hillary is spending a good amount of tv and radio ad money in Minnesota which I would think is unneeded.
Don't recall this from democrat presidential nominees in the past.

Now I'm seeing tv ads for Gary Johnson! So all this indicates the brain trusts for these campaigns must have some idea that Minnesota may be up for grabs!?!

If that's the case Trump needs to spend some money here. If Minnesota can go red things are getting real!

^^^^
She is spending desperately. The last two youtube videos I watched were preceded by a Hill commercial with Biden. Wow.

Obama getting nervous

http://www.realclearpolitics.c...end_off_go_vote.html

Obama:
"My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot,"

"And there is one candidate who will advance those things. And there is another candidate who's defining principal, the central theme of his candidacy is opposition to all that we have done."

And after we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community, I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy , if this community lets down it's guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good send off? Go vote!"

*********************
Obama's legacy is disaster for ALL Americans, of every color, gender, and age

"want to give me a good send off?" yes, straight into historical oblivion

why would Obama be nervous ? In a recent poll, Trump got 20% of the African American voters. In 2012, Romney got 6% of the AA vote.

Trump is telling the AA community the truth. And the truth he tells is the same no matter what audience he is talking to.

I would consider it an honor to be given the opportunity to personally insult the worst president in American history.

Seriously, the disgusting arrogance of this man. For him to have spent nearly eight years working on his "legacy" just to have it all torn down to naught by Donald J. Trump makes it all almost worth it.

Donald and Hillary Go Into A Bakery on the Campaign Trail

As soon as they enter the bakery, Hillary steals three pastries and puts them in her pocket.

She says to Donald, "See how clever I am? The owner didn't see anything and I don't even need to lie. I will definitely win the election."

The Donald says to Hillary, "That's the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result."

Donald goes to the owner of the bakery and says, "Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick."

Intrigued, the owner accepts and gives him a pastry.

Trump swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives him another one. Then Donald asks for a third pastry and eats that too.

The owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks, "What did you do with the pastries?"

Trump replies, "Look in Hillary's pocket"...

Right after the Obamacare decision, I told my wife that whoever was elected after B.O. would have to become statistically unpopular and hated in some circle in order to tear down whatever crap the magic muslim had wrought. Trump is not only an attractive alternative because he is not a career politician, but he also seems to have no problem with people hating him.

That he makes leftist heads explode is also a big plus.

This video link is to Hillary talking about the dumpster bombing in NYC. But-- she can barely speak. She looks and sounds exhausted and sick.

Yes, exhausted and sick for sure. Not well!

That pretty succinctly sums up the biggest reason for zero's failure as a President - for him, it was ALL "personal". Nothing but "I" "me", and "my", with no concept of "We the People..."

And I love how she starts off with calling it a "bombing", then chides DT for jumping to conclusions and calling it a bombing before all the facts are known...

Clinton does look tired and “low energy” in the video.

Of course she has the “Stronger Together” sign to allow her to “power through”.

Looked like Huma Abedin behind Clinton briefly. Anyone wonder why the muslim Abedin was not with Clinton at the 9/11 memorial ? (some bad optics maybe ?)

The campaign trail is long and hard. Constant travel away from home, and always needing to be at your best. Trump seems to handle it well. He is known for not taking vacations. He has said if you love what you do, why would you need a vacation ?

That Trump has succeeded so far is really amazing. A man who never before ran for any office. He is fighting the entire Democrat machine, the Clinton mafia, the Republican establishment (still slow to enthusiastically back him), treachery from the likes of Cruz / Bush / Kasich, MSM, “news” networks, cable, newspapers, …. He is fighting the overwhelming Clinton advantage in money and organization from her prior political adventures and Bill Clinton’s past political career. The aggressive support of the obama regime. SEIU, Teachers unions, AFL/CIO, … Millions of illegal aliens. Just about the entire Hollywood entertainer industry, Google, Facebook, … The 2 billion dollar Clinton Foundation “charity” that gives out 6 % of its “donations”. The NeverTrumpers like Bill Kristol. Third Party flunkies like Evan McMullin. On and on.

As someone said months ago, all he has is the voters.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein both ran in the 2012 election as well. Johnson got 1.3 million votes; Stein got almost 500,000 votes.

In 2012, 52 million eligible white voters did not vote. Mitt Romney received just 17% of the nonwhite vote. Obama won by 5 million votes.

she is not yet sick enough for my liking

even on life support, I'd be hoping for more

Hopefully a sign of things to come. The status quo isn't what it used to be.

Haitian President EXPOSES the Clinton Foundation: "Hillary Clinton tried to bribe me!"
After the Haiti earthquake in 2010, billions of dollars from all over the world poured into the Clinton Foundation to help the Haitian earthquake relief effort. Per Haiti's ex-senate-president, only 2% of that money found its way into Haiti.

He wants a full audit of the Clinton Foundation to uncover what happened to Haiti's earthquake relief money.

Prior to that crime, President Bill Clinton had tried to bribe the Haitian ex-senate-president to support Clinton's military invasion of Haiti, offering to make him the richest man in Haiti. The Haitian turned down the bribe, not wanting to support America's military invasion into his country.

Donald Trump is the first presidential candidate ever to personally visit the Haitian community in Florida.

Probably paid for by a hILLary PAC to split the vote on the Republican side.

60 Minutes tonight is sure as shit doing a "for-your-information" piece on the Libertarians. Their smarmy justification was, in part, Gary Johnson is on the ticket in all 50 states. I highly doubt the Clinton Broadcasting System (CBS) will do a similar piece during 60 Minutes for Jill Stein and the Green Party.

I think Johnson is hurting Hillary more than Trump. I just don't see much excitement over Hillary from my left leaning friends.

Trump shatters GOP records with small donors

Trump is approaching, and has possibly already passed, $100 million from donors who have given less than $200

It is a threshold no previous Republican has ever achieved in a single campaign. And Trump has done so less than three months after signing his first email solicitation for donors on June 21 — a staggering speed to collect such a vast sum.

Clinton counted 2.3 million donors as of the end of August, the result of decades of campaigning, a previous presidential bid and allies who painstakingly built her an email file of supporters even before she formally announced her second run.

But Trump had zoomed to 2.1 million donors in the last three months alone, his campaign has said.

On Aug. 31, the day Trump went to Mexico and the last day of the reporting period that will be revealed this week, Trump raised an enormous $5 million. The campaign ran a dizzying 107,000 different ad combinations on Facebook on that day alone, according to Lindsay Walters, a Republican National Committee spokeswoman, swapping out different text, graphics and videos to determine what performed strongest.

A typical day involves 40,000 to 50,000 such combinations, Walters said. Another person familiar with the Trump and RNC digital operation said there has been some strain simply creating content fast enough to fill all the ad slots that are making them money.

In an atypical arrangement for a presidential campaign, the RNC is actually taking a cut of all the small-dollar fundraising done through its joint committee with Trump (Romney received 100 percent of the joint committee’s small donations, in contrast). The agreement was struck back in May, when Trump emerged as the nominee with little infrastructure or experience to execute a large-scale digital operation. As a result, the RNC will end 2016 will access to a far larger email and donor file than ever before.

*******************
Given his lack of infrastructure, Trump has to make deals w the RNC. I am ok w that. He is playing to win.
