If it becomes obvious that Trump is going to win on Tuesday, there'll be no shortage of fair weather Republicans rushing forward to make clear they supported Trump all along......

Drain the Swamp.

I hope President Trump "remembers" all these "supporters" when they are up for re-election, and pumps a lot of money to their primary opponents.

Nothing is "obvious" about the results next Tuesday.

I'm really impressed with how Trump has progressed. In the beginning he was a little too abrasive and allowed himself to get worked up and make attacks on Hillary and say things that were a little below the belt. Between the first and third debate he really has shined and morphed into an amazing candidate for presidency and has become incredibly Presidential. I also have to hand it to him, how a businessman without ever being a politician can make it above all odds and against all diversity to President. He really really has impressed me with his ability to knock down just about every wall that has been thrown at him and they've thrown tons at him. I'm crossing my fingers for Tuesday. The amount of support I see in my area for him is amazing. There are huge banners on businesses, yard signs all over the place, etc. etc.

Got that right. They will all be jumping on the bandwagon before the train leaves the station. A-Holes.

He is a impressive individual but, someone needs to remind President Trump to remove his cap durring our National Anthem..

"All those who come in and support us now will receive a full share of pie.

Those who come in and support us later will receive a smaller slice of the pie.

And those who never get around to supporting us are going to get good government!" Senator/Governor Huey Long

Guys like Trump certainly adapt as they go in order to accomplish their mission. I don't believe Trump "transformed" as much as I believe that his behavior was part of his original plan.

The media (and everybody for that matter) has not stopped talking about Trump since day 1. He made sure that we always had something to talk about.

Thanks Jallen on the ages.

I agree well thought out plan, during the long race get all the media attention, (although I don't think he planned on the bus grab her video) toward the end be the persona that he is today.

Prop 63 is almost irrelevant. Gov moonbeam signed gunmageddon bills in July that already covered most of what Gavin Nuisance was pushing in prop 63.

“No sidetracks, Donald. Nice and easy,” Trump went on. “Because I’ve been watching Hillary in the last few days and she’s totally unhinged.”

Hadn't seen that. Nice to hear his stream of conscious, even if prepared before hand. He's been a heck of a fighter & is very deserving of his effort at this point.

Agreed. At this point, I can't even guess which way this will break. The fact Trump is in the thick of it is far more than a lot of people could have imagined.

The FBI Agents Who Stood Up for Rule of Law Make Me Proud to be an American

https://pjmedia.com/spengler/2...can/?singlepage=true

One hears a lot of talk about America turning into a Third World kleptocracy. I've worked in a lot of Third World kleptocracies, back in the days when the Reagan Revolution was fresh and the Reaganauts thought we could export free markets and democracy to the rest of the world. We didn't, of course. But I had the opportunity to see first-hand what separates a banana republic from the land of the free and the home of the brave. It comes down to the grit of a few people willing to do their job come hell or high water--not look the other way, not accept the stuffed envelope or its equivalent in post-government employment, but to treat a job as a sacred trust given by the people.

Somewhere there are a handful of FBI agents who decided to do their jobs--to end the coverup of the Clinton private email server which was there to let Hillary turn high office into a cash cow. I don't know who they are or just how it happened, but some men and women told FBI Director James Comey that if he didn't step forward, they would--and they clearly had enough evidence to put Comey in a vise. We know this from Devlin Barrett's reporting at the Wall Street Journal. As Barrett wrote:

The new investigative effort, disclosed by FBI Director James Comey on Friday, shows a bureau at times in sharp internal disagreement over matters related to the Clintons, and how to handle those matters fairly and carefully in the middle of a national election campaign. Even as the probe of Mrs. Clinton’s email use wound down in July, internal disagreements within the bureau and the Justice Department surrounding the Clintons’ family philanthropy heated up, according to people familiar with the matter.

The unsung heroes of the FBI put everything on the line. They knew that they risked their careers, perhaps even their pensions. Their downside is that their kids may go to community college instead of a private university, and they rent an apartment rather than buy a house. Those are the stakes for mid-level officials who go up against the system. But they did it, because they had their jobs to do. It was their job and no-one else's; if they didn't do it, it wouldn't get done, and they wouldn't stand for someone telling them not to do their job to protect the public.


"High Noon" comes to mind. The Western sheriff portrayed by Gary Cooper faced down an outlaw gang for no other reason than it was his job to do so. It was his last day on the job, and the townsfolk urged him to flee rather than fight. It's not an existential gesture out of Hemingway. He's scared and he hurts. He feels no affection for the cowardly locals. But he won't walk away from his job.

If you want to keep a republic, you have to sacrifice personal interest for the public good if you're called on to do so. Those who choose to enforce the law, or to fight fires, or to serve in the military know that it may be their job one day to put their lives on the line. But the same is true for every citizen in small ways. In Latin American kleptocracies, the fellow whose job it is to turn off your gas when you fail to pay your gas bill takes a bribe instead, and passes most of the bribe up the line to his superiors. The secretary in a government office takes a bribe to hand you a form that you have to fill out to ship wood from Michoacán to Mexico City, which you then take to the office next door with another bribe, and so forth. Everyone is on the take. The system corrupts everyone. If you want to be honest, you emigrate.


The rule of law rests on the moral equivalent of a thin red line. At any given moment the fate of a country hangs on the handful of its citizens who happen to take the incoming: the front-line troops, the Marines at Iwo Jima, the pilots at the Battle of Britain. Those whose job it is to uphold the law must do so even at personal risk. What distinguishes a great nation from a banana republic is its ability to find enough of those people so that when the moment comes, they will do their job. In a banana republic, no-one fights the system, with rare exceptions, and they almost always get killed, like Luis Donaldo Colosio in Mexico in 1994.

I have been waiting for a long time to hear a presidential contender stand up and tell the truth about corruption in Washington. Donald Trump's New Hampshire address did so last Friday afternoon. Trump is doing his job. His job is to come in with a big pump and drain the swamp, and he's doing it--and deserves the support of every American. But he couldn't do it without the brave men and women in the middle ranks of the FBI who stood their ground. I don't know their names. But they make me proud to be an American.

NH poll with Trump just barely pulling ahead of the hag. If true this is a big deal and a return to watch closely Tuesday night. I think NH and NC will be early indicators Tuesday night.

Not sure what help this does at this point but it hopefully doesn't hurt.

'Voter fraud'? California man finds dozens of ballots stacked outside home.

Jerry Mosna was gardening outside his San Pedro, Calif., home Saturday when he noticed something odd: Two stacks of 2016 ballots on his mailbox.

The 83 ballots, each unused, were addressed to different people, all supposedly living in his elderly neighbor’s two-bedroom apartment.

“I think this is spooky,” Mosna said. “All the different names, none we recognize, all at one address.”

His wife, Madalena Mosna, noted their 89-year-old neighbor lives by herself, and, “Eighty people can’t fit in that apartment.”

They took the ballots to the Los Angeles Police Department, but were directed to the post office. They felt little comfort there would be an investigation, and called another neighbor, John Cracchiolo – who contacted the Los Angeles County Registrar's office.

A spokeswoman for the Registrar said the office will investigate. Both Cracchiolo and Jerry Mosna told FoxNews.com they think they stumbled upon a case of fraud.

“Yes, there is voter fraud. We saw it with our own eyes,” Cracchiolo said.

In a statement, the office of the Registrar said, “We are carefully reviewing our records and gathering information to fully identify what took place. Our preliminary assessment is that this appears to be an isolated situation related to a system error that occurred causing duplicate ballots to be issued to an address entered for a single voter. We are working directly with the system vendor to ensure the issue is addressed and to identify any similar occurrences.”

Further, spokeswoman Brenda Duran said the Postal Service “has indicated that they returned all of the improperly addressed ballots to our office.”

Spokesman Richard Maher confirmed the U.S. Postal Inspection Service has offered its assistance. He would not comment on the number of incidents, saying only there are “relatively few.”

John Fund, a journalist and co-author with Hans von Spakovsky of the book, “Who’s Counting: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk,” said someone could easily have voted with these ballots using a variety of fake signatures.

“It is doubtful they would have ever been detected,” Fund said.

Von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow and manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative at the Heritage Foundation, said voter fraud is prevalent enough that it could make the difference in a close election. The Heritage Foundation, he said, has recorded 430 cases of voter fraud -- proven cases where someone was convicted or a judge ordered a new election.

A former FEC commissioner and counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the U.S. Justice Department, von Spakovsky said California is of particular concern because of the rising number of noncitizens illegally registering and voting in elections, as well as the “terrible shape” the voter registration rolls are in.

The 89-year-old neighbor to whom the stack of ballots was addressed is hard of hearing, and was unavailable for comment. The Mosnas stressed that the ballots clearly were not for her -- and have not even discussed the issue with her.
