No, he'll just get a new reality show or become a talking head on Fox.

A friend of mine pointed out the similarity between Trump and Jim Jones. Their egomania is similar.

I don't think that's even remotely in Trump's playbook.

I do think this has the potential to cost him big league though.

I'd bet a lot of his wealth is leveraged and brand dependent.

BUSTED! FAKE NBC Poll Showing Hillary Up By 11 Points Was Conducted by a HILLARY SUPERPAC

Heard about that ‘big lead’ Hillary opened up in the polls? Well, not so fast. There are a few… ‘inconsistencies’.




This poll — widely cited — was conducted by Hart Research Associates / Public Opinon Strategies.

The president of that organization? Turns out he’s a busy guy.

OK, so Mr. Geoff Garin, the President of Hart Research and Associates”, is currently working as “a strategic adviser for Priorities USA in support of Hillary Clinton’s election“. Gee, I wonder why the media never tells us that part?


♦ $220,500.00 in the month of September alone paid by Hillary Clinton’s Priorities USA Super-PAC to Hart Research Associates.

♦ The President of Hart Research Associates, Geoff Garin, is working for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

♦ NBC (S Burke) and The WSJ (Murdoch) contact Geoff Garin (Hart Research Associates) for the post-debate poll data they will use on the day following the debate.

♦ Hart Research Associates provides a small national poll sample (500) result, with skewed party internals, showing Hillary Clinton +11 points

Truthfeed

So, before you get TOO excited about those ‘results’, keep in mind that they were bought and paid for.

Clearly it will be political suicide, but Trump learned long ago to lie, deny and move on. As long as he has his wealth, he will be the person he is. If he were to lose his wealth, his self-identity would be crushed.

However, if he has a conscience and a basic sense of right and wrong, at some point he may come to see the kind of person he actually is. I would not want to be him should that day come.

On the other hand, a conscience can be suppressed with any of a number of earthly pleasures.

All you need is cash.

Hillary Clinton is counting on Barack Obama to win her the White House, as the one Democrat who can draw reluctant young voters, African Americans and Hispanics to the polls.

But history shows that when his name isn’t on the ballot, Obama doesn’t always deliver.

Obama hit the campaign trail for seven Democratic gubernatorial candidates in 2014; five of them lost. And turnout in five neighborhoods where he appeared that year was lower than in the 2010 midterm election.

In Maryland, one of the most heavily Democratic states in the nation, more than 8,000 people stood in line for hours before packing a high school gym in 2014 to hear Obama stump for Anthony Brown, then the state’s lieutenant governor, who was running for governor.

“You’ve got to vote,” Obama told the cheering crowd in Prince George’s County, where he had won 90 percent of the vote two years earlier. “No excuses.”

Two weeks later on Election Day, the crowd had vanished. The same high school was a polling place, but turnout dipped 2.7 percentage points from four years earlier, to 30 percent. It was half what it was when Obama himself was first elected in 2008. Brown lost to Larry Hogan, who became only the second Republican governor in the state in nearly 50 years.

The perfect candidate for president is paid and bought for by special interest .The rest is of it is show business were what they say is off a set of platformed speeches designed for them by writers and designers.In your mind who should be president? Is that person going to take care of your needs and wants ? Your families? These campaigns are run like machines know , the planning for the next one starts soon as this one is over.What makes Donalds different is it comes from his own imagination ,shooting from the hip more or less.Thats his magnitism for some were the others are more polished seasoned liars.He does get in his own way sometimes but you cant design around him ,he wants it that way.The way he wants people or sheeple to get mad at individual candidates was his scaple during the early march up the ladder to the presidency .I thought that would be his undoing and probably still will be ,we will soon see.He will run again but will be more seasoned with more smiles and miles,reality tv has taught him well.

Recall Terry McAuliffe tried to allow convicted felons to vote in VA. State Supreme court overruled the mass "pardon". So, he's been busy signing as many individual "pardons" as possible. Must be getting writers cramp by now.

I'm not really sure that you are qualified to determine that.

The evidence is overwhelmingly supportive of that conclusion.

Sadly, that is obviously characteristic of many of 'rump's supporters as well.

It would be a redundant act at this point. Can't wait for the election post-mortem from George Will.

I am very sure he does not have the qualifications to make such determination.
