So now we have two examples of why voter ID is necessary! At least that’s what we’ll hear. Never mind that it’s unlikely it would have made a difference in either of these cases.

This country confuses me… Obama has like a 54% approval rating now right? So 54% of Americans approve of the job he is doing. Yet, HRC is only around 48% support nationally. So who likes Obama as a president but isn’t supporting HRC?

Is there any doubt that DJT will work his hardest to undo everything Obama has done over the last 8 years? Especially when (as most retired presidents do) his approval rating goes up even higher and DJT’s drop?

Makes no sense to me… who are the American voters??? What are we doing??

It’s about more than policies, Obama is a likeable charismatic guy and Hillary simply isn’t. Or if she is it just doesn’t come through.

4248

You have it right there. Obama is a guy.

4249

…or the hatchet job the Republicans have been doing on her for decades has been effective.

4250

It’s not so confusing if you suspect, as I do, that at least 10% of that 54% approve of Obama largely by favorably comparing him to the two shysters running for President this time.

4251

So are John Kerry or Ted Cruz and nobody likes them either.

4252

That’s about right. I’m in that gap, that would give Obama an approval, but not Hillary.

I probably agree with every position Hillary holds, more or less; but I think that she (and Bill) are shady, and she’s done nothing in this campaign to disabuse me of that notion.

So I’m holding my nose and voting for her. Hell, I even donated to her campaign, and I’m volunteering time to man the phones next weekend. Doesn’t mean I like her, much – I just loathe everything about Trump that much more.

4253

Incidently, given the general tone of the press treatment of the events since Friday, I guess we can dispense with the notion that the media has been going easy on Hillary, right?

4254

Comey opposed the FBI commenting on Russian involvement in the hacking incidents because of its timing so close to the election.

4255

If true, that casts a different light on Comey’s intentions.

4256

How so? It only made it onto page 10 of my Monday paper.

4257

Trump calls fact checkers “dishonest scum”

4258

Yeah, but its from “source”. Toss that into the “alleged” pile. Gotta remember, rotten sumbitches draw as much lies as good people, perhaps more.

4259

Never. As long as they treat her like a human being instead of like a Democrat, they’re biased and the reason you need to subscribe to Trump TV.

Even shock-jock Howard Stern knows when someone’s gone too far.

I just started a thread about this Slate article -

Which has details about how there’s a direct, clandestine, server connection between Trump Tower and a Russian bank called Alfa. It’s a long and damning article, showing the coordination between the two servers and the attempts to hide their connection once the questions started.
Here’s the thread -

Trump Tower has a direct server connection to a Russian bank

Some of those 6% are voting for Stein or Johnson. Of course that still makes no sense, since it’s equivalent to not voting.

4263

I have absolutely no idea how that quote from ** jsc1953** got in the bottom of my post. I only intended to quote Dob.

This one is beyond pathetic. in 1996, Trump pushed his way into a ribbon cutting ceremony for a nursery school for children with AIDS and sat in one of the dais seats reserved for major donors, and he hadn’t donated a cent.
