"the October Surprise"

[woodsmoke]

Well, I, personally, thought that the Billary Machine would squash him like a bug even with an October Surprise. Shows how much I know.

... So far, trump's "conning" has turned out in a liberal's favor!

Yup. He may be the closet liberal I took him for when he first announced, and said so in my G+ blog.

PS- Found this interesting take:
Swamp 1, Trump 0

Politics is certainly "interesting"! And messy, and dirty, and bewildering, ...

Randomly ...

Many--notably Bloomburg--called Trump a "con man" ... one wonders what exactly they knew and therefore meant by that.
Colin Powell ended up endorsing Hillary, as one who also did an email thing himself.
Snowden? Have some deep agent hunt him down, retrieve him, torture him endlessly, try (or not try) him for treason, and shoot him at point blank range. You oughta hear what my conservative pals say we should do with that limpdxck rat.

As a Democrat, following Obama's lead, I'm holding out to give Donald a fair chance, hoping he does well for the country. Hoping he puts a final end to Ryan's delusions, esp re Medicare "reform." So far, trump's "conning" has turned out in a liberal's favor!

Wow, that didn't take long!

Not as long as I thought it would, anyway.

Kellyanne Conway:

“I think when the President-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content to the members,” Conway said. “And I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that the majority of Americans don’t find her to be honest and trustworthy. But if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that is a good thing. Look, I think he’s thinking of many different things as he is preparing to become president of the United States, and things that sound like the campaign aren’t among them.”

There was, when I posted this, 16,960 comments to the article, most of the ones I saw were using flame throwers. The optimistic ones surmised that he was holding back to avoid giving Obama an excuse to "pardon" her, which makes no sense because she hasn't been indicted or convicted. Then it degenerated into an insult fest.

Maybe he was running that balloon up the flag pole to see who would salute it, and the flag pole got shot down!

His wall has shrunk as well. They way he's going it will be just a line in the sand before he actually takes office. And some suspect that he plans to cut Medicare. It just goes to show you that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

The Left Wing media is having a field day with Breitbart's complaints about Trump deciding to let Hillary slide, as they should. Trump should, to be "fair and balanced", pardon everyone who has been convicted of doing exactly what Hillary did with classified email from the time she became Sec of State till now. That should include Snowden as well as several former military people, and the guy hiding out in Ecuador's embassy.

Election Results from 1789 to the 2012 election - very interesting

The percentage of eligible voters voting is usually between 50-60%

Glad I could give you a good laugh! Everyone needs that once in a while!

[Qqmike]

Ha! A screwball like that wouldn't know how to read a reality-check if you gave him one. Funny. I needed a good laugh this afternoon.

Nugent on Trump

[GreyGeek]

I dont know about that... Some of the things Republicans have tried to do in recent years are very anti-constitutional. And Trump said some things during his campaign that went directly against the constitution.

That the Reps did, although I am not sure what Trump proposes that is unconstitutional. That's why the rank and file Republicans (of which I am not a member) revolted against their elites, the RINOs, and went for Trump. The vote turnout was lower than anticipated. The White voters who voted for Obama in the last election voted for Trump in this one. Hillary lost, I believe, for one reason: the media had been mocking Trump and his campaign from the beginning. They reported bogus polls and statistics showing Hillary would win by 10% over Trump. They hammered that message over and over. I believe their intent was to discourage voters who favored Trump in an attempt to discourage them from going to the polls. It worked in reverse. It encouraged Trump voters to go out and vote and it gave the Hillary voters the idea that she was going to win so handily that they didn't need to go out and vote, so they didn't. The media threw Hillary's campaign away by their bogus polls and predictions.

The other side is 100% for the Republic and its rule of Law under a completely un-infringed Constitution.

The media (i.e., the Democrats) are making a big brouhaha about the "Popular vote count", claiming that Hillary should be president. No, she shouldn't. We are NOT a democracy, we are a Republic, thankfully.
The illusion and disinformation which drives the story is the "count" of the vote. (Setting aside Joe Stalin's oft quoted remark "It isn't who votes that count, it is who counts the votes"). This article explains why the "absentee" vote won't change the outcome and why the Electoral College is so important.

Who votes by absentee ballot? Students overseas, the military, businesspeople on trips, etc. The historical breakout for absentee ballots is about 67-33% Republican. In 2000, when Al Gore “won” the popular vote nationally by 500,000 votes and the liberal media screamed bloody murder, there were 2 million absentee ballots in California alone. A 67-33 breakout of those yields a 1.33- to 0.667-million Republican vote advantage, so Bush would have gotten a 667,000-vote margin from California’s uncounted absentee ballots alone! So much for Gore’s 500,000 popular vote “victory.” (That was the headline on the N.Y. Times, and it was the lead story on NBC Nightly News, right? No? You’re kidding.)
Getting back to the “win the popular vote/lose the Electoral College” scenario: Thank G-d we have that, or else California and N.Y. would determine every election. Every time.

Today the media is pushing the discontent and fueling the rioting by citing the "popular vote" count, blaming the Electoral College, and ignoring the fact that most states ignore the absentee ballots if their numbers won't change the results of that state's election. Take Texas, which Trump won by almost a million votes. Since the counted vote will more than likely reflect the ratio of absentee votes, Trump would have 52% of them and Hillary 43%. Texas cast around 8.5 million votes. There would have to be more than a million absentee ballots and ALL of them would have to go to Hillary for her to reverse the award of the E.C. votes to Trump. Not likely, without massive voter fraud.

So, in all these after-the-fact tallies, do you know which states the new Hillary votes are coming from? And, as one poster of the totals opined, "they'll increase exponentially!". Sure, only if someone stuffs them exponentially.

Probably the most famous case of a stolen election is the one stolen by Johnson in 1948. He turned a 20,000 vote loss into an 87 vote win. It has all the elements of voter fraud: Chicago-style voting, "missing" precincts ballots being discovered, late "corrections", absentee ballots that were miraculously almost all for Johnson, plus the votes of the dead, the halt, the missing and those who were unaware that an election was going on.

I'll say it again: what is happening so far this election is small potatoes compared to how tumultuous things were in the 1965-1975 era. And they were small potatoes then compared to the upheavals that occurred from 1776 to the end of the Civil War and the "Reconstruction" of the South. If extremists start setting off bombs again or Oregon and California secede from the Union, then you'll know what both eras of the past were like.

Meanwhile, I am going to pop some more popcorn and enjoy the show, now that both sides have been fully exposed to what they really are: the Dems & RINOs and their MNM allies on one side and Conservatives on the other. The focal point IS the Constitution. One side calls it "that little book" and would infringe it into meaninglessness if they cannot replace it with the UN Manifesto. The other side is 100% for the Republic and its rule of Law under a completely un-infringed Constitution. If you haven't guessed I am for the Republic.

People have such short memories.......

They sure do, and most of them aren't 75 yrs old.
