Well not really. If I were playing an age card I would frame it as she should not be elected due to her age. What I asked was IF she wins does she get the chance at the 8 years due to health. So really it IS a question completely unrelated to the campaign/election in any way whatsoever.

So good that you taught us that Trump is older. I will put that in the file of another reason I am not voting for him. I also know Reagan was old too.

Heading to the tee box now. 8)

JORR's Cubs-game buddy James Carville's infamous 1992 'It's the economy, stupid" mantra is always in play in Presidential elections. Somehow, Obama's 2012 team managed to get him re-upped despite the lukewarm recovery. If HIllary's using the same team, they could possibly get her over the hump too; even if/as the economy slides back into recession.

But with Brexit and the associated economic fall-out, on top of already dismal leading economic indicators, there's a good chance the economy will be so in the shitter that the Repubs could run the reanimated corpses of Reagan/Nixon and still win--as regardless of how long ago she left the Administration, HRC17@ is essentially running as a continuation of the incumbent Administration.

The falling copper price, tumbling global trade, a flattening yield curve, weakening industrial production and the rolling over of monthly job creation all point to an economy headed into contraction.

The Clintons are focused on destroying the rest of Bernie's career, not making him vice president. You'd think the two are the same thing, but we're talking getting him kicked off committees for his intransigence.

I think Bernie Sanders is focused on destroying his own career. The Clintons don't really have to provide much in the way of assistance with that.

Your only point in that post was that she was old, and not in the greatest health. Definitely playing the age/health card, at least a little bit.

Just wanted to make sure, since you stated that Hillary was old.

I believe that you are going to vote for him. There is no way that you don't cast a vote against Hillary, living in a swing state worth 20 electoral votes. You would have a heart attack if she wins PA by one vote.

what the fuck is this all about? (youtube video about some guy with a gun arrested by feds/+ at a trump rally. i've seen it spun as "possible assassination attempt on trump?" via the lunatic fringe)

pretty odd if you ask me.... but of course you didn't. *shrug*

http://getoffthebs.com/parking-garage-a ... ton-rally/

At 1:18PM Friday, an large African-American man was observed lurking on the 4th floor of the Waterway Parking garage at #24 Waterway Street in the Woodlands, Texas with an assault rifle mounted to a tripod. Why is this significant?

#24 Waterside is adjacent to the Waterway Marriot Convention Center – the venue for Friday nights Houston Trump Rally.

The Montgomery County sheriff department arrested a man connected to the incident, that the New York Daily news has identified as “Kenny.”

At the time of his arrest, Kenny was inside the back of his van with the back doors open, facing a large crowd in front of the convention center.

Additionally numerous threats were posted on Twitter, prior to and after the rally, calling for the assassination of Donald Trump and his supporters. Said threats were ignored by the Secret Service, Houston FBI, and local police, says Mark Dice.

HERE IS WHAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CLAIM HAPPENED

The New York Daily news and several other media sources claim a man, (‘Kenny’) donning a Trump T-shirt, was escorted from a police van in handcuffs, after he was picked up in a parking garage across the street from the Woodlands Waterway Marriott.

According to NBC News, “An hour before Trump arrived at the event venue, local law enforcement took a man away who was believed to have had a gun and was lurking in a nearby parking garage.”

A local news station in Houston, KPRC-TV reported that, “an armed man was taken into custody at the site of Donald Trump’s scheduled rally tonight in the Woodlands”

In another story, Click2Houston reported that About 30 minutes later he was back outside.

The handcuffs were off and he said, in an exclusive interview, that his “name is Kenny and it was all a misunderstanding.”

“Did you have a gun on you?” KPRC2’s Jen Bauer asked.

“No, of course not,” Kenny said.

“So was it a misunderstanding? What happened?” Bauer asked.

“I can’t say. But make America great again. Trump is going to be our next president,” Kenny said.

Deputies didn’t want him answering any more questions.

“We’re taking him home to his family,” they said.

The Huffington Post reported that the “gunman was released several hours later and taken home to his family.”

ok, if you read that article i linked in the last post and go down from THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA SAID THIS you'll see this "witness story"

THE FACTS THAT I DO KNOW

Around 1:30 PM yesterday, my wife, me and several other people observed what appeared to be twenty or more police vehicles rushing to the parking garage my wife and I had parked at earlier.

Not long afterwards, we all observed a police helicopter circling over the garage. Shortly thereafter, a van came out of the garage exit and stopped where about 50 police officers and what appeared to be secret service agents were gathered.

A handcuffed African-American man was taken out of the van and roughly put into the back of a sheriff’s car. The police left with him in the car about twenty minutes after he was thrown (with emphasis) into the back of the car.

Shortly after the man was put in the back of the sheriff car, another officer opened the van and pulled out what appeared to be an assault or sniper rifle with a large scope and tripod mounted to it, which he gave to a person I believe was a secret service agent.

Shortly after the police stormed the parking garage, TSA agents who were at the rally with explosive sniffing dogs, left the convention center and went to the parking garage.

About 40-minutes after the police, secret service and TSA arrived at the garage, we seen a white panel van come out of the exit of the garage hooked to a tow truck.

Long after an African-American man was hauled off in the sheriff’s car, what appeared to be federal officers and the local police, were seen going in and out of the same parking garage.

We all stood and watched this incident unfold over about a 90-minute period of time.

When my wife and I picked our car, we asked the parking garage attendant named Jim what had happened earlier at the garage. He told us that he did not know much about what had happened, but he was told they found an “African American guy armed with a sniper rifle in the back of van with the doors opened facing the convention center.”

Jim further elaborated that a woman he worked with observed a “big black guy with a big gun coming out of a white van” on their security cameras and called the police.

Can I say 100% sure that the person they arrested was the same person later described by the news as Kenny? No, I cannot. I was too far back from the scene to clearly make out his features.

However the size of the guy in the video (he was big – at least 300 lbs) and his race matches what we all seen.

The video of the arrest of Kenny was recorded in broad daylight – definitely not around the 6 pm time of day NBC reports that he was arrested.

-------------------------

so i wonder if this was some sort of a possible assassination attempt thwarted/downplayed? was it a training exercise of sorts put on the hush-n-hush? or was it a giant work to do some sort of an "Exercise" like that, and then you have the proper/mainstream media downplay it like "awww it's nothing" but then "alternative media" has people who were there supposedly saying SNIPER RIFLE ON TRIPOD! 50+ FEDS!!!! and the "alt-media" puts out a senastional story of WTF!!!!!!!!!!! maybe if only to test people and see if they'll believe the mainstream media's account of events, or do they believe the alt-media's account of events....

either way this shit is odd and definitely 100.0% above my paygrade. i think imma continue to worry about my fantasy baseball empire and remember that investing too much thought in shit like this is just guaranteed "Argh" and, as always, K sera sera, no?

Yeah Sini, that's some awkward stuff right there. The guy didn't seem too genuine, and you would think by now someone would have Doxxed this Kenny guy.

Strange stuff.

Thursday, June 30, 2016

The tables have turned in this week’s White House Watch. After trailing Hillary Clinton by five points for the prior two weeks, Donald Trump has now taken a four-point lead.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 43% of the vote, while Clinton earns 39%. Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Last week at this time, it was Clinton 44%, Trump 39%. This is Trump’s highest level of support in Rasmussen Reports’ matchups with Clinton since last October. His support has been hovering around the 40% mark since April, but it remains to be seen whether he’s just having a good week or this actually represents a real move forward among voters.

Trump now earns 75% support among his fellow Republicans and picks up 14% of the Democratic vote. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Democrats like Clinton, as do 10% of GOP voters. Both candidates face a sizable number of potential defections because of unhappiness with them in their own parties.

Rasmussen Reports just does what Karl Rove and now FoxNews tell them to do. IIRC, many here cited them as evidence of a McCain/Palin win in '08, and famously they had Romney ahead in the last weeks leading up to the election in 2012.

Rasmussen Reports!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

McCain-Palin never really led in aggregate polling in 2008--best week they had was the week before Lehman Brothers, when they pulled/polled into a dead-heat with President Obama. McCain/Repugs were toast once the financial crisis hit and Lehman Bros went under.

Romney's aggregate poll numbers briefly bumped up over the incumbent's--I think President Obama had a particularly bad debate performance? but by the last week, Obama had re-taken the lead he'd held for most of the campaign:

It's gonna come down to how voters feel about the economy the first Tuesday in November.

If this election is held November 2015--economy seemingly doing well, gas under $2 a gallon, yadda-- Hillary/the Democrats walk to victory.

the direction of the economy as of the last week of June 2016 appears to be trending toward favoring a change in the party that occupies the White House, to put it in Greenspan-speak.

Online polls favor Trump. According to the online polls he won every debate

Real Clear Politics provides a clearinghouse for actual,real-world polls, aka, Nate Silver's home page:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls ... -5491.html

not much to see there at this point. basically both candidates being supported by their party faithful with a large chunk of undecided.

Hillary might like to have a bigger lead; incumbents usually come out of the gate at around 50%--but she's not quite the incumbent.

a 3rd party jumping in on either side and siphoning off even a few percentage points throws the election to the other party.

By allegedly being a pedophile rapist as now alleged in court in New York? Or just by palling around with his "good" billionaire buddy who has been found guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a minor and having settled various claims for such after his sex parties. It really makes one wonder about his remarks about wanting Ivanka if she weren't his daughter.

Perverted weirdo bastards.

A German American with an anti-semitic tweet. That should help Trump.
