No One Can Stop Her… And She Knows It: “This Election Won’t Be Fair”

Loading

Mac Slavo:

To the left, a shot from Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator; to the right, Hillary’s acceptance speech was a carefully scripted triumph over the democratic process… as demonstrated by her playing with the balloons like the world is her toy.

In a fair election, my best estimate is that Donald Trump would win in a landslide.

But this election will not be fair. In fact, few of them are.

For Trump’s part, there is no doubt that he has been this year’s sensation. A newcomer to politics, he has thrown out all the conventional rules, played by his own, and found a captivated country hanging onto his every word. Love him, hate him, or somewhere in between… no one can look away from the spectacle.

After a war within the party and the convenient disposal of 16 conventional GOP contenders, Trump is now the official Republican candidate and he is in a strong position. Coming out of the relatively calm Republican National Convention and going into the tumultuous DNC, Trump has enjoyed soaring poll numbers while Hillary has been losing ground fast to the scandals and corruption revealed by Wikileaks and other related mouthpieces.

But the fat lady has not sung.

Hijacking the Party, Keeping Dissent Under Wraps

Hillary’s coronation last night as she formally accepted her party’s nomination could hardly have been more forced. The entire Democratic convention has been stage-managed to downplay the overwhelming noise from Bernie supporter who are outraged and feel betrayed by Hillary.

The entire convention has had a certain air to it, a quality that reveals the desperation for power, and the crisp sense of danger that brings with it.

To a casual observer, things might look typical enough, with a few sore losers and pipe dreamers wishing for an ideal country run by decent and fair people that either don’t exist or haven’t figured out how to win an election. But things are not typical – the paradigm is shifting. Politics realigns every 30 years or so, or at least that is the maxim that has held in political science. Only, the last shift has been 30 or 40 years overdue.

There is a reason for that, and the establishment has been fighting to stop the change for the past generation. They have faked out the cycle and kept the population under their thumb (when was the last time you saw a “real” presidential election that wasn’t a means to keeping the status quo?)

But delaying the inevitable won’t hold.

Why Trump Should Win…

As Michael Moore argued, Trump has been preaching the gospel of restoring America’s manufacturing, and is working to woo and turn to “red” the “blue” Rust Belt states where Americans once had strong middle class jobs, especially in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. According to Moore’s numbers (which are cited to motivate support for Hillary and opposition to Trump), if Trump captures those key states in addition to the red states that Mitt Romney, a weak candidate, won in 2012, then Trump should win the electoral college:

I believe Trump is going to focus much of his attention on the four blue states in the rustbelt of the upper Great Lakes – Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Four traditionally Democratic states – but each of them have elected a Republican governor since 2010 (only Pennsylvania has now finally elected a Democrat). In the Michigan primary in March, more Michiganders came out to vote for the Republicans (1.32 million) that the Democrats (1.19 million). Trump is ahead of Hillary in the latest polls in Pennsylvania and tied with her in Ohio. Tied? How can the race be this close after everything Trump has said and done? Well maybe it’s because he’s said (correctly) that the Clintons’ support of NAFTA helped to destroy the industrial states of the Upper Midwest.

In fact, Moore is right. Nobody wants any more Flint, Michigans (where the water is contaminated and poverty seems to be airborne and contagious), least of all Michael Moore.

Trump’s appeal is much broader than just his sensational antics and controversial statements. He is resonating with America because he is speaking to the wounds of those struggling to cling to what’s left of the middle class American Dream.

And the strength of Trump’s position there is buttressed by the cold fact that the Clinton’s strong support for NAFTA played a major role in the downward spiral of the Rust Belt, and many other parts of the United States.

Trump’s appeal to bringing jobs back to America has to sound like not only a good campaign strategy, but an actual sound idea.

Things have reached a point where nearly every American – regardless of how little they pay attention to news and world affairs – is feeling the damage that has been done. NAFTA, GATT, the WTO and an entire shift into pseudo-governing structures of globalism that have eaten away at the sovereignty of the United States and devoured the prosperity of its people have taken a serious toll on our way of life. And we have all been programmed to take it lying down.

The steady flow of funny money, artificially pumped out by the Federal Reserve has kept many from noticing it, but the real world effects are still hitting people on the street. Not only does the dollar not go as far as it used to, but everything in life is increasing in cost, and getting watered down in value and substance. Society is acting out one big charade, and pretending not to notice the outrage, dissent and anger seeping through the cracks and edges.

Inevitable and determined to win at all costs

Rather than let that burst on her watch, and during the only opportunity she has left in this lifetime, Hillary Clinton and her minions have rearranged all the deck chairs in her favor to force a win. It certainly hasn’t come from the grassroots. Where necessary, the Democratic party has fudged primaries and stolen them outright. The mainstream media has been scripted around her as an anointed figure who is untouchable and beyond reproach. They have stifled exposure of Bernie and would have done so to any other rival… if only any others had dared to enter the race.

Instead, the campaign to elect Hillary became an unrelenting junta to force her into office in spite of the will of the people, the rules of the game or the ever-expanding negative image of the former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State whose corruption and ties to bad deeds are both legendary and sufficiently documented to warrant life without parole.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-29/why-reuters-tweaking-its-presidential-poll

And like clockwork, Reuters latest poll now shows her with a six point lead.

“This Election Won’t Be Fair”

She might have been referring to a non-stop media effort at character assassination, 8 full Benghazi investigations mounted at taxpayer expense—none of which found evidence of their accusations, endless bullshit books pitching rumor and lies, a hot-air-inflated scandal centering on email handling and a server that were not much different than email handling by her predecessors and the private RNC servers used by the Bush administration, constant personal attacks by a total-jackass of an opponent whose behavior has diminished the stature of the office he seeks before he even gets there, and—as if that were not enough—multiple hacker attacks on her party by the intelligence operatives of a foreign government that favors the election of said jackass because they’ve calculated the benefits of his presidency. Oh, and there’s also an anti-Obama, anti-Clinton, anti-Democratic commercial propaganda movie masquerading as a history lesson, being rolled out in theaters ahead of the election. There’s really no reason why people shouldn’t pay to have their brain washed. I mean, they pay to have their cars washed.

You thought she was referring to how unfairly poor Donald Trump has been treated? Donald gets a pass every time he gets away with dodging a direct question. I’m expecting him to get a pass for dodging one-on-one presidential debates, but I’ve been wrong before. His ego might compel him participate in a cage match. That, I would happily pay to witness.

Reuters polling showed a 17 point (two week) swing to benefit Donald Trump. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/07/28/poll-trump-gains-17-point-swing-two-weeks-clinton/
So, Reuters decided to change its polling.

In a presidential campaign notable for its negativity, the option of “Neither” candidate appears to be an appealing alternative, at least to participants in the Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
Given the choice, a relatively large group of voters opted for “Neither/Other” candidate.
The “Neither/Other” option appeared to lead to an under reporting of Clinton’s support.
The pollsters estimated the Clinton shortfall at 2 to 4 percentage points.
As a result, Reuters/Ipsos is amending the wording of the choice and eliminating the word “Neither.”

Nice.
As long as having ”Neither” helped Hillary and hurt Trump it was A-OK with Reuters.
Now, all of a sudden, it hurts Hillary.
Now, it has to go.

Might as well be a ”push-poll.”

@Nanny G: YOU AND TRUMP SHOULD FORGET THE POLLS–THEY MEAN NOTHING.
Trump will lose no matter what the polls say at any given time–save your energy

@Richard Wheeler:
For those convinced Trump can pull it off, forget the polls and follow that adage of “put your money where your mouth is” and go to online betting where the odds will make you rich- if of course you win. I mean, what do those dumb ole Vegas boys know anyway?

@Greg: It has been confirmed, through the investigations, that Hillary ignored safety concerns, terror threats, requests for security, recommendations to abandon the consulate. Then, beyond any possible doubt (even YOU cannot doubt these facts, Greg. Even YOU) she lied about a video being the cause for the attack, lied right in the faces of the loved ones of the fallen, then lied about the lie. The REASON(s) for the lies is not so clear and there are several possible explanations, none of which indicate someone that had security concerns for the nation was diligently at work.

You seem to be cheering the success of stonewalling investigations. That is why the hearings took so long and there had to be so many.

Oh, and there’s also an anti-Obama, anti-Clinton, anti-Democratic commercial propaganda movie masquerading as a history lesson, being rolled out in theaters ahead of the election.

Remember Michael Moore? Remember Dan Rather? Remember the 99% liberally corrupt media? Quit your whining about what YOUR corrupt system has spawned.

Donald gets a pass every time he gets away with dodging a direct question.

Everything he says gets manipulated into a Democrat campaign ad; he says illegal immigration has allowed a lot of criminals to come to this country and do extensive harm and the corrupt media turns that into all immigrants are rapists. Trump says we should stop allowing thousands of Muslim refugees from terror hot-spots until we can effectively vet them, and the corrupt media turns it into banning all Muslims. He jokes that maybe the Russian could find the 33,000 emails Hillary rapidly deleted as soon as she learned the FBI wanted to see them and now he is encouraging Russian espionage (by the way, the FBI warned the Clinton campaign that there was evidence THEY were being hacked and they told the FBI to go shove it… turns out they got hacked).

Meanwhile, Hillary lies under oath before Congress about having classified information on her secret, private, unsecured email server and the media doesn’t even report it. Of course, she can’t be asked any questions about it, because she won’t take questions. When will the media report she LIED about the video… and ask why? When will the media ask why she ignored terror threats in Benghazi? When will the media report the hundreds of apparently quid pro quo contributions to the Clinton Foundation? When will the media ask he why voters should put their security trust in her when she has already mishandled security to benefit her own political career?

Yeah, Trump gets such a pass.

Courts have just blocked proof of citizenship to vote. Yeah, the left will pull out all the stops to win because expecting their record to support their continued leadership will not win.

@Ajay42302: Online oddsmakers were losers in the primary.
To win the White House it was Jeb Bush with 4-to-1 odds, followed by Trump’s 13-to-2 odds. Paddy Power
At Betfair it was Bush was viewed as a favorite followed by Marco Rubio and then Trump.

Still, Trump could prove the gamblers wrong — just as he defied the Washington establishment that thought he’d implode by now.

(Now being last September.)

@Bill: Do not waste your time. Greg continues to parrot the same words day after day. No thought needed to do that, just like his idol.

There is no amount of excrement libs won’t swim in to support their candidate. In a normal world anyone with her record of incompetence, lack of basic technology skills, pay for play and enabling a serial philanderer would not be able to get elected dog catcher in a two person town.

Just the security clearance issue alone should disqualify her not elevate her. But the Dems are a criminal enterprise these days and it makes its own rules.

Will this be anything like the 2000 fiasco with that spoiled little snot GORE trying to steal the election?

@Ajay42302, #5:

Trump might pull it off with an October assist from Vladimir Putin. The groundwork for that may have been completed already. Wikileaks could be loaded, primed, and ready to fire at the precisely calculated moment.

@Greg: You are beginning to sound despondent. Cheer up; there’s always the corrupt liberal media to continue to bury all the truth about Hillary and paint a rosy artificial picture of her. That is her only hope.

We are looking at this election in the wrong way. This election is no longer Democrats versus Republicans. We need to face the truth and stop pretending. This election is the progressive-globalist establishment elite against the common people.

Hillary is the chosen queen of corruption, malfeasance and bought government. She has a huge number of the wealthy globalist crony class, and nearly the entire propaganda ministry of the MSM behind her. She is the end result of the truth of historical illiteracy which states “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Trump is the antithesis of Hillary, he is the candidate that could not be bought. He is speaking for the multitudes who have been betrayed by our corrupted status quo leaders, and who are angry at the steady transformation of this nation by social engineering progressive-globalists, from a profitable industrial giant into a service economy debtor nation.

The “Republican” establishment rats are now fleeing from the GOP and swarming to board and return to their mother-ship, the SS Queen Hillary. Remaining Republicans and Constitutional conservatives beware, if Hillary wins, this nation and our way of life will be scuttled. Don’t be the kind of candidate-loyalist schmuck who would sacrifice the future of your children, friends and family to a doomed existence of State enslavement, simply because your candidate lost the primary.

Trump is no choirboy, but neither are any of the friggin’ Democratic party politicians! This is going to be a street-fight of an election. The RINO choir-boys were given their chance to represent us and what did they do? The traitors ran over to join the other street gang. Democrats have been cheating and playing rough for decades and the damn RINO wusses only say “Why can’t we all get along!. Screw that. If Republicans are going to be damned if they do, and damned if they don’t anyway, we might as well stop playing nice and start playing for keeps.

@Ditto: Spoken like a true Trump licker, so engulfed in partisan hatred that you kowtow to the Frankenstein that will ultimately destroy you.

@Ajay42302:

Spoken like a true Trump licker, so engulfed in partisan hatred that you kowtow to the Frankenstein that will ultimately destroy you.

Obama has all but destroyed the economy and exposed our citizens to unspeakable terror threats. Hillary promises to carry on that tradition AND corrupt the entire government further to continue enriching herself.

This is what YOU endorse.

@Bill:
You are a babbling baffoon my friend.

The economy, under Obama, has seen over 7 straight years of revovery, even up against a defiant opposition party even admitting their sabotage intentions.

The GOP agenda has busted states such as KS and LA.

Obama was handed one of the worst economic disasters in history from GWB and his lapdog Congress who even admitted to “losing their way” and “spending like drunken sailors”.

And Obama has kept us much safer than his predecessor and has taken out more prominent terrorist than his predecessor.

So again, you just make up incredibly stupid stuff, void of reality and rich on ignorance for no other reason than to defend your ideology.

And you again, like the expected coward that you prove to be, refuse to acknowledge you’d never vote Democrat even if it meant supporting Kim Jong, Hitler, ECT.

You are simply that much of a hate infested hack but lack the balls to admit it.

@Ajay42302: Rather than make the effort (again) proving each and every one of your idiotic, false, contrary to the very reality you can just look out the window and see points, I will simply state it is YOU that is the babbling, stupid, idiotic, sycophantic buffoon.

Almost 3/4 of the nation disagrees with you.

@Bill:
I have no idea what’s outside the window at the planet you reside in but my argument was factual here on earth.

As far as that 3/4 of the nation agreeing with you, again, only in your world.

@Ajay42302:
Show us Obama’s GDP numbers…….They are very small. That’s not recovery.
To try to blame the GOP is foolish. What did Obama propose that was going to work so well for any economy? More government spending, such as shovel ready jobs, green energy, infrastructure? Newsflash, IT FAILED when tried. It can’t work which is why it doesn’t and won’t if HRC tries it again as she has just stated it’s her plan as well. Progressives my arse..

@Mully:
Numbers don’t matter to folks like you Mully nor does reality.

Obama, like it or not, will go down in history as a man who pulled the country back from the brink of ruin. Now the reason historians will praise him for that is because, well, he did.

And history, unlike today’s rabid right, will acknowledge that there really really was a GWB era and that we really didn’t go from a 23 million job growth Clinton economy into a crash and burn Obama economy and that the Cinton years were pretty dann good, the Bush years sucked (other than for the already ultra wealthy), and the Obama years were picking up the pieces of the Bush years- despite intentional and even admitted sabotage of the opposition party.

The economic ruin came before Obama. The debt didn’t start in 2009. ISIS was compliments of Bush and Company. Obama wasn’t responsible for the 9/11 attacts, didn’t lead us into Iraq, and didn’t make a mess out of Katrina.

I understand you don’t like that because it leaves a sour taste that clashes with the koolade you swig on a daily bases but that’s just the cold hard truth.

And Donald Trump is a con man wanting to scam this country for all he can get and doesn’t give a flying rats ass of who or how many goes down in the process. Hell, he’s even said the bigger the crash, the more profit people like him can make.

@Ajay42302:

As far as that 3/4 of the nation agreeing with you, again, only in your world.

I am well aware you have no idea what is going on other than what left wing propaganda tells you to think.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track

Obama, like it or not, will go down in history as a man who pulled the country back from the brink of ruin. Now the reason historians will praise him for that is because, well, he did.

Obama will go down in history as the man that devastated the economy with over-regulation and taxes, crippled health care with Obamcare, squandered a hard-fought victory in Iraq and unleashed ISIS on the world. I almost wish Hillary COULD be the next President because it would be better if she suffered for the failure of Obama than a Republican that will be blamed for all the hardships to come.

The economic ruin came before Obama.

That it did, thanks to Carter and Clinton’s Community Reinvestment Act.

ISIS was compliments of Bush and Company.

Since Obama pulled all troops out of Iraq, ISIS has grown 4000%. 4000%!!! If you are keeping score, this was in 2012… Bush was out of office and would never have done anything so stupid, against the recommendations of ALL MILITARY ADVICE.

You worship an idiot and claim to have a valid opinion of Trump. I choose not to take your stupidity seriously.

How many idiots here thought that Obama would lose TWICE and overwhelmingly los?????????

@Ajay42302:

Seven Years Later, Recovery Remains the Weakest of the Post-World War II Era

Even seven years after the recession ended, the current stretch of economic gains has yielded less growth than much shorter business cycles.

In terms of average annual growth, the pace of this expansion has been by far the weakest of any since 1949. (And for which we have quarterly data.) The economy has grown at a 2.1% annual rate since the U.S. recovery began in mid-2009, according to gross-domestic-product data the Commerce Department released Friday.

All “recoveries” are not equal, and Obama’s recovery has been a piss-poor one. No surprise. Service economies have little direction to grow.

The current expansion remains smaller than the one during Richard Nixon‘s administration. And that 16% expansion lasted just three years. The economy grew 18% from 2001 through 2007. It grew 52% from 1961 through 1969.

Despite the current expansion’s lack of intensity—or perhaps because of it—it is now one of the longest.

There have only been three longer expansions in the past seven decades.

So far, it has occurred entirely during Barack Obama‘s time in the Oval Office, making it the longest expansion under a single president. The growth streak would need to extend just a little more than halfway through the next president’s term to achieve a modern record.

So how has the economy done for the second quarter of Obama’s final year? Not good.

US preliminary Q2 gross domestic product at 1.2% vs 2.6% expected

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP growth rising at a 2.6 percent rate in the last quarter.

While the drop in inventories weighed on GDP growth last quarter, that is likely to provide a boost to output for the rest of the year. The Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that near-term risks to the economic outlook had “diminished.”

The government also published revisions to data going back to 2013 through the first quarter of 2016. The revisions partially addressed measurement issues, which have tended to lower first-quarter GDP estimates. GDP growth in the first quarter of 2015 was revised sharply higher to a 2.0 percent rate from the previously reported 0.6 percent pace.

Right. “Revisions” aka cooking the books. Yes we are very familiar with this game.

That rate of growth is probably unsustainable, but economists say a tightening labor market, rising house prices and higher savings should underpin spending for the rest of 2016.

Inventory accumulation by businesses fell $8.1 billion in the second quarter, the first drop since the third quarter of 2011, down from a $40.7 billion increase in the first quarter.

As a result, inventory investment subtracted 1.16 percentage points from GDP growth in the last quarter. It was the fourth straight quarter that inventories weighed on output.

Unmentioned, the “job growth” mostly was due to hiring immigrant workers, (many of them illegal aliens,) to replace native employees. And what about Obama’s “low unemployment myth?

Esteemed Professor Debunks Obama’s “Low Unemployment” Myth

Whenever President Barack Obama touts his seemingly low unemployment numbers, we conservatives rightfully point to the equally low labor-force participation rate — but liberals then try to refute our numbers by blaming this rate on seniors and college students.

Except that according to Peter Morici, an economics and business professor at the University of Maryland, seniors and college students do NOT explain the low labor-force participation rate.

Writing for Newsmax, Morici noted that “Americans over 65 are seeking work in increasing numbers” due to lack of adequate pensions. Likewise, those Americans not participating in the labor force include an estimated “7 million men between the ages of 25 and 54 — too old for college and too young for [retirement].”

“Don’t be fooled,” the professor wrote. “Unemployment is high and for most, wages are low.”

Thus, the economy is not nearly as peachy as either President Obama or his liberal devotees would like us to believe.

@John: No one, stupid. However, had he not had the corrupt media covering up his failures, he would have suffered a resounding defeat in 2012.

@Ditto: Every time a semi-favorable GDP number is released, the Fed starts making noises like it will raise the 0.0% interest rate on borrowing the money being printed. Every time, the Dow tanks. False propping up of the economy is all that makes Obama’s stinking economy look no worse than it does.

@Ditto:

Your mountains of words omits the reality of intentional and even admitted economic sabotage of the GOP as a stratagem to unseat Obama.

Let’s look at a few facts (and yeah, I know mean very little here) on GOP governing. With Obama, they changed course on anything pertaining to the economy. They once said a payroll tax created jobs but under the Obama admin, they opposed their very own idea. Most supported TANF funding but under Obama, that changed. They’ve always said the Economic Development Administration grows the economy but refused that idea under Obama. Republicans have traditionally supported infrastructure investment but not for Obama. And historically, they’ve always promoted unemployment insurance extensions as an economic stimulus but flip flopped on that because, well, Obama.

But it goes deeper as they’ve unanimously blocked qualified nominees to important positions such as the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve, positions that they agreed could also help improve the economy and admitted to not having a problem with nominees. They have refused to allow the Fed to do anything to promote economic activity. They pushed for Congress and the White House to take money out of the economy and eliminate public-sector jobs, something that they’ve never adamantly pushed before. They unanimously filibustered the American Jobs Act which most every major economic company of both parties predicted a 2 million job boost. They reversed course on raising the debt limit, making non-budget political demands that they could never acquire through legislation, and damaged our credit rating in the process. They have done all of this with a clear admission that their top priority is to unseat President Obama.

In other words, economic failure was bad for Obama which meant good politics for them.

Your half baked silly premise of being “all Obama” while not even pretending that the GOP shares some blame for slowing economic growth is no more than pep rally hype, “feel good” fluff to advance your dishonest agenda.
