Share on Democrat Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead nationally over Republican Donald Trump, whose negatives remain unusually high for a presidential candidate amid early indications that the Orlando terrorist attack has had little direct impact on the 2016 race.
A new Bloomberg Politics national poll shows Clinton leading Trump 49 percent to 37 percent among likely voters in November's election, with 55 percent of those polled saying they could never vote for the real-estate developer and TV personality.
The Republican Party’s last nominee for president, Mitt Romney, hosted a gathering of hundreds of Republican conservatives in Park City, Utah, devoted to assailing his successor, Donald Trump. Romney’s former running mate, Paul Ryan, the once-revered speaker of the House, was grilled for supporting the candidate whose recent remarks the speaker himself called “a textbook case of racism.” In another speech, a recent GOP nominee for governor of California—Meg Whitman—explicitly compared the nominee to Hitler and Mussolini.
What was so remarkable about these and other acerbic remarks made at Romney’s gathering of GOP donors and business people was that they came from inside the party Trump will soon lead into battle. And they stem from doubts not about Trump’s policies, but about his fundamental fitness for the office. Dan Senor, former Romney adviser and Bush White House national security aide, even said that Trump’s comments about Obama suggest “there should be serious concern” about sharing classified information with Trump—information presidential nominees regularly receive.
And then there is this:
And this:Republicans are counting on Hillary to do what they couldn't: stop Trump. That's why none of them are attacking her Trump speech.— Kaili Joy Gray (@KailiJoy) June 5, 2016
So let me remind you all again that it does not pay to be cocky, and that if we do not show up to the polls none of this early good news will make a bit of difference.
But we have the opportunity my friends to be involved in the most historic election in modern times.
Not only will we elect the first female President in this country's history, but that vote will also cause one of our two primary political parties to completely reassess who they are, and force them to either evolve or die.
If the Republican party cannot find success by pandering to the most conservative among them, then what choice do they have but to move towards the middle and become more centrist?
There is a progressive wave in this country, and with the unwitting help of Donald J. Trump we may finally see it wash away the ugliest parts of who we are as a nation.
And, wouldn't you know it - Alaska supports Trump! Idiots!!
ReplyDeleteTrump is a fucking lunatic and Democratic Hillary Clinton will beat his ass. I do know numerous folks in Alaska that will cast their vote for Trump in November.

DeleteIdiots is the perfect word for them. They are too misinformed to know how cretinous they are being. A steady diet of RW propaganda combined with mediocre critical thinking skills has produced these knuckle-draggers who vote against their self interest. Another characteristic of this group of misanthropes is an exaggerated sense of victimhood, an eagerness to place blame on the 'others', a belief in wild conspiracy theories, and the need for an authority to tell them what reality is. They are the most limited among us. They are prime candidates for an Idiocracy.
I am a 51 year old scientist who got a 4.0 in college. I am voting for trump. Nobody who knows me would dispute my intelligence, including my daughter who drinks your koolaid all the time. Still, you have the nerve to call me a "knuckle dragger" simply because I like trump. According to you, half the population of the united states is made up of neandertals. Is it possible that you don't know everything?
DeleteI noticed I need approval to post. What a bunch of cowards you are.
DeleteHere you have it folks. Trump's ceiling in the general is 37% of the vote. There is no way he gains voters in that time frame.
ReplyDeleteHe is a loser! Always has been!

British Petroleum.
Todd Palin spent nearly 20 years as an employee in the Arctic oil fields of the North Slope. He received training from the multinational British Petroleum starting in 1989. British Petroleum was involved in the gas pipeline negotiations with his Sarah's administration before she quit.
Todd worked hard at moonlighting.

DeleteKnowing it is one thing. Proving it is a much better thing, 9:48.
DeleteWhy did they pick THIS unflattering photo of Hillary when there are so many others available. Please....
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems like Hillary never gets a break however it is evident she is the adult in the room and has the unparalleled backing of our own Obama. Nothing would please me more than to see Michelle Obama on the stump for Hillary too!
Hillary Clinton will come out the shining star in November as POTUS and the photos of her will then be excellent ones!
DeleteThe media and press have tried constantly to show her in various stages of being unattractive, wearing pant suits, etc., but it's not working!
Holy cow - look at Trump! He's hardly the specimen of an attractive or good looking man! He's actually pretty revolting!
Hillary Clinton is beating Trump in all the polls now and by large margins! Love it!

ReplyDeleteRepublican Senators Are Running Away From Reporters To Avoid Talking About Trump
ReplyDeleteTrump is so toxic that Republican Senators are going into hiding to avoid answering questions about the GOP nominee. Republicans think that they will be able to separate themselves from their party’s nominee if they refuse to talk about him, or even better just don’t ever take questions. But there is nowhere to run. Republicans have nowhere to hide. Donald Trump is their nominee, and there is no escape.
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/06/15/republican-senators-running-reporters-avoid-talking-trump.html
Bet they will lose many Republican seats in Congress this coming November.
DeleteThey were absolute idiots in having come out in support of Trump! Especially Paul Ryan!
Trump is going to financially bankrupt the rnc adversely affecting house and Senate campaigns.
DeleteHillary Clinton Wins Washington D.C. Primary, Meets Privately With Bernie Sanders
ReplyDelete...Both camps described the meeting as “positive” and said the two noted their shared commitment to stopping Trump and pursuing issues such as raising the minimum wage, eliminating undisclosed money in politics, making college affordable and making healthcare coverage more accessible.
Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said the meeting was “a positive discussion about how best to bring more people into the political process and about the dangerous threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation.”
Also attending were Sanders‘ wife Jane, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and the two campaign managers, Jeff Weaver for Sanders and Robby Mook for Clinton.

Hey 9:59am, did you actually mean to type "hear" instead of "here". Otherwise you just make no sense and should keep your comments to yourself until you master English grammar. Just sayin'.
DeleteMeanwhile 11:38 AM, it's time for YOU to put in some remedial study on the appropriate use of the question mark (?).
DeleteBTW, how's the view from that glass house?
Amid a push to tighten gun laws in America following the gruesome slaughter in Orlando this past weekend, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered tough words for the gun lobby and mocking ones for her GOP opponent.
ReplyDeleteIn a Wednesday interview with The Huffington Post, Clinton argued that she and others had essentially forced Donald Trump to consider legislation that would prevent those on the terrorist watch list from being able to buy firearms. Trump said earlier in the day that he planned to meet with the National Rifle Association to discuss its opposition to the proposal.
“Welcome to the cause,” said Clinton. “This is something I’ve been talking about for the long time. Look, the NRA and the other gun lobby members should be moving rapidly to work with Congress on this legislation. I know members of Congress, hopefully on both sides of the aisle, are beginning to look to see if they can pass this. And I fully support it.”

DeleteTrump is holding off his voice pick as long as possible to maintain ass kissers. Newt won't be picked because he has an aggressive agenda. It could be palin because she could be controlled by his kids, who will essentially run the country.
DeleteI think Trump has delayed his VP pick because people are saying no to him, I really don't think anyone wants to be on the ticket with him.
DeleteI agree w/you 10:59 AM With the possible exception of Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich....they might say yes due to the publicity knowing full well they'd lose on the ticket w/him. They'd have nothing to lose as they are not active politicians or respected by politicians!

DeleteTrump rallies are Klan meetings. I don't worry about trump being elected. I worry about my fellow citizens because no one walked away from his remarks. They loved it. Just like at palin rallies.
ReplyDeleteUh, I think the Trump rallies are making the Palin rallies look like a Sunday school class. With shouts of "Trump the Bitch!" and "Hillary Sucks but not as good as Monica" and shouts of "Hate the Media!" and "Kill all of Them!" The media created the monster and now they can't put him back in the lab.
DeleteWhen you read the live tweet from the NC rally last night it will absolutely make you physically sick to think of your fellow American citizens as anything but out-for-blood animals and that is no joke.
10:47 AM, you've got that right! I don't even visit Facebook anymore; the blatant hate and racism just sicken me.

You can't imagine how refreshing it is to not be part of that shit show.
I am one that stopped using Facebook a long time ago.
DeleteFound I'm not missing a damned thing.
Wow tRump, wondering what his kids think. Are they distancing him as well? Distancing his grand children from him as well?
ReplyDeleteTrump has horribly embarrassed his family! Is his 'supposed' money the only thing that keeps his adult children tied to him?
DeleteI cannot imagine having him as a father! He is nothing more than a sad, mental case!
From what I've seen, Donald Jr and Eric are arrogant assholes much like their father. They've both taken part in some potentially illegal and rather controversial big game hunting and posed for pictures with animals they've killed, including elephants and leopards.
DeleteIvanka seems to be very close to her father and a top member of his business empire so she obviously supports his questionable tactics.
You don't hear much about the two younger kids, but they all seem to have taken advantage of and enjoyed the lavish lifestyle they've been raised in.
People outside of the NYC area may be new to Trump's disgusting personality traits, but he's always been the same repulsive waste of oxygen. None of them have distanced themselves from Trump or his campaign, so I am guessing they think what he's doing is just fine.
Gingrich and Trump are nuttier than fruitcakes! Neither will ever be elected!!

Think they fear being verbally mocked - in public - by residents and summer tourists to Alaska.
'Chicken shits' is the best description of the Palins!
Sarah's an old busted anorexic chick with a dowager's hump. Her children are out of control and she's having to try to sell all sorts of things to remain solvent. It's not worth anyone's time to even give them the time of day. Plus old SarahPAC will have to dissolve after this quarter.
