The Democrats have spent a lot of time and money in this election pushing a message of hate to “energize” their base. Eight years ago, they didn’t need to do that because Barack Obama was billed as the positive candidate for change. Of course they still did their best to demonize the opposition in both […]

Why do the news outlets continue to put people like Larry Sabato on TV as if his predictions were grounded in bedrock? I believe Larry Sabato should have his crystal ball checked for cataracts, something I am very familiar with. But even I saw the Trump Train rolling. Bad boy, Larry. Our Final 2016 Picks […]

I am no fan of Reince Priebus. And I believe that during the Republican Primary he was not always fair to Donald Trump. Trump received extra scrutiny on singing the pledge that he would support the nominee. Not so much because Priebus gave a rip, but because the rest of the candidates feared a Trump […]

Not having got much sleep last night, allow for some misspelling and or typo’s as I bang away on the keyboard in a coffee reduced stupor.

I got on the Trump Train early on. I wasn’t alone, but often felt the isolation from my friends who were supporting someone else in the Primary. And I believed that not only could Donald Trump win the primary, but he could also defeat Hillary Clinton. If I had a dollar for every Republican that […]

Photo by USFWS/Southeast I recently saw Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) on Fox and Friends in a brief segment regarding, I believe, a Facebook post he made on the current election insofar as voting. Though (I hope my memory is correct) he did not offer support for either of the two front-running candidates. He was contacted […]

Photo by JBrazito Republicans cannot understand why they lose. The reason is, they are not republicans. And they keep returning to disingenuous types like the Bushes or the Cheneys or the Gringrichs or the Jaffas-revised-history-theory-types ad neocon ad nauseam for their candidates to boot. They suffered themselves 30 years ago to the hoisting of Ronald […]

In 1932 veterans gathered in Washington in protest over bonuses owed (but not yet due) earned as a result of service in WWI. The bonuses were actually to come due in 1945, but due to the Great Depression (caused by the government) most of these men were out of work and strained to the limits […]

Investor’s Business Daily bills themselves as the most accurate pollster in the past elections. And this story backs up their claim. And I like tracking polls that “weight” their data to make it more realistic and diminish the error due to over or under sampling various demographics. And this IBD poll is weighted. Which is […]

It may be time to question the polls that Real Clear Politics include in their averages.

The outfit released a poll today (10/12/2016) showing Hillary Clinton with a 7 point lead over Donald Trump. Theit last […]

We learned yesterday that Donald Trump isn’t who you would want your daughter to bring to dinner with a quiet declaration “ Daddy, I think he’s the one”.

I had a feeling when Lester “Candy” Holt, who was every bit as partisan and self injecting as Candy Crowley was 4 years ago, began by talking about 6 years of unprecedented job growth under Obama and Secretary Clinton that Trump was about to be ambushed. And I was right. But did this completely tilted […]

I was never a Ted Cruz fan. Nor was I a supporter. But as a Republican, I would have voted for him over Hillary Clinton. And I would not have trashed him if Cruz were the nominee. And I will tell you this, all of the hatred and vitriol that the anti Trump and #NeverTrump […]
