The polls wouldn't even be closed on the west coast at 9:30 eastern. Would they??
Straight out of her playbook for the California primary. She declared victory in the primary race less than 12 hours before the California polls opened, most likely with the intent of getting Bernie voters to stay home.
Is Bernie still stumping for her?
If so, he's the biggest twit on the planet.

Here's Milo slamming a college student NeverTrumper on a recent college show.
Milo has been one of the more vocal proponents of Trump, would be cool if he was appointed Press Secretary for a Trump administration. Bright, quick wit, he could chew up the liberal press corp, no problem.

Well this is funny. I just got a robocall to my cell phone from someone with a Salt Lake City area code. I of course didn't answer but it left a message railing against "that liar McMullin" and begging me not to vote for him and vote Trump.
Glad to hear it.
BTW. It goes to the House to pick someone despite the voting if there is no sufficient winner in the electoral college. Denying a win to all current candidates is the neverTrump strategy. That is why they are running McMullin.

HRC's Secret Service Agents are turning against her too:
I and three other LEOs from my agency had the privilege of getting a private guided tour of the White House during Bill's presidency courtesy of our U.S. Senator at the time. The tour took us into areas that the public were not permitted....through the West Wing, into the Oval Office and even down into the kitchens where you can see the scarred wall from the fire during the War of 1812 etc.
Our tour guide was a member of the Uniform Division of the Secret Service. We had a great conversation with some of those officers who told us how HRC treated them and why they hated her with such a passion. She would curse at them,make them stand at "parade rest" on post for 8 eight hours straight and generally belittle them for any or no reason. Bill was just a nuisance. But, HRC was evil in their opinion.
Gore was just as bad. We were told by an officer that Gore was scolding his son for some transgression one day with a uniformed Secret Service officer standing close by. Gore pointed at this officer and screamed at his son "Do you want to wind up like him for the rest of your life?"
Nice attitude toward someone whose responsibility it is to protect your life.....

This was on Drudge yesterday. Megyn's posturing failed to create a bidding war for her "talent." Crashing her ratings with the sex obsession probably wasn't the best course of action for her to pull down Bill O'Really-type dollars.
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

I worked as a "utility" worker for Aramark at Clarkson University when she visited sometime around 2004 or 2005. It was my job to deliver the boxed lunches to the Secret Service guys and to tear down different catered setups, including the room she had just given a speech in. I got to watch her pass by with her detail about twenty feet away as they moved down a hallway for the next phase of her speaking event. In the conference room behind me were screens set up looping a videotaped personal address to the Clarkson Alumni. What struck me at the time was how sugary sweet and personable she seemed on screen in the next room, and how cold and off-putting her actual presence was. She just had this nasty, bitchy vibe. And she looked like she was irritated or annoyed at having to be there, which bothered me since I was already annoyed at all the exra hoop-jumping I had to do on her behalf. "Welcome to the fly-infested Adirondacks, bitch."
It's a day I'll not soon forget, being the hired help to the hired help to the ruling class. The secret service guy who I delivered the cart full of boxed lunches was very polite and efficient. I felt bad for him having to work for that woman.

I'm willing to bet that "W" was a total nice guy. It would be interesting to ask. he always seemed cool with those he encountered.

She is not a pleasnt person. I was once told by a Agent on her detail there was one of two ways on it: "Be new or piss someone off."
Of course I had to ask him...

Radioman, Actually, you are right. I 've met some guys from the Bush's protection details (#41 & #43). "W" would have BBQs on the ranch in TX for the agents and their families just to say thank you.
One of Bush Sr.'s detail had a son undergoing Chemotherapy due to cancer. The agent shaved his head to show support for his child who had lost his hair due to the treatments. His fellow agents on the detail joined in and followed suit. Bush Sr. saw them and asked about it. An agent explained the situation. He called the agent who is child's father in and asked if he would allow him to participate. Bush Sr. had his head shaved too!
I think Mr. Trump will share that respect for his protectors.

Milo is right again. Here is my take on this election and the Never Trumpers:
1. If Hilary is elected, they will still be the Washington Elites and making money. 2. If the Second Amendment is re-interpreted by Hilary's Liberal Stacked Supreme Court that will hold sway for 40+ years, they will still have bodyguards with guns, and concealed carry permits because they are more special than everyone else. 3. We will have everything else in a Hilary 4 or 8 or life term (see next point): budget crisis, mass taxation destroying the middle class 9because the rich will have moved their nmoney out of the US and someone has to pay for the shit), destruction of law enforcement and entitlements for criminals, etc, etc, etc. 4. After Hilary stacks the Supreme Court and allows illegal (I mean "undocumented") immigrants to vote along with mass voter fraud, who says there WILL be another election?

I was lucky enough to work as a police officer when George w Bush came to visit slc when he was signing books on his book tour. I was a Laison officer between my pd and the secret service. George was only supposed to stay for two hours according to the Secret Service and when we hit the two hour mark Bush motioned for me to come over. He asked me to go check the line outside. I looked outside and the line was wrapped all the way around the corner. In fact it was all the way around the building. I told him the length of the line and George whispered something to one of his agents and he decided with all those people standing outside he would stay until they all got their book signed.
George was kind and personable and he didn't like ties. He actually helped take my tie off as he was telling me his Secret Service agents didn't have to wear a tie and neither should I. My favorite part of George visit was every time he noticed soldier in uniform come up he stood up shook his hand and spend extra time with them. We had a couple wounded soldiers who also showed up and when he saw them come he got up greeted them at the door and talk to them for several minutes alone in the hallway. W liked his agents and he cared about people.
Trump seems to like the folks as well. I look forward to his presidency.

HRC will be a lame duck from day one if she manages to get the electoral college numbers. Remember what happened to Nixon in '72? He went in w/ 60% + of the vote and 18 months later was out of a job.

Nixon resigned. I don't think HRC would ever resign. Even if impeached, she would stay.
