Economy is the most important issue for the voters. Poll after poll voters put economy as the number 1 issue.

Today on CNN John King quoted recent polls.

Overall around the country Trump beats Clinton on economy by 5%: Trump-50%, Clinton-45%

What is really huge, is the fact that in the North-East, the rust belt, Trump beats her on economy by 25%: Trump- 59%, Clinton-34%

This is extremely important as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan are the most important swing states.

Mr. Bill is probably planning the transition team right now too!

That looks photoshopped. The Clintons would kill anyone who took a photo like that let alone released one. Maybe Bill is trying out for a role on The Walking Dead?

FOXMegyn needs to be *Blacked Out” entirely, from our viewing.

The FOXMegyn Network would have us in chains just for ratings if they had their way. Still would.

They are worse than MNBC and CNN, because they are traitors.

The others were not all that invested in TRUMP, neither hating nor loving him, and it caused them to give him as fair hearings as anyone else.

Why do you suppose TRUMP hung out with them. He knew they were tough, but never Megyn styled butcher types.

Joe and Mika covered him every inch of the way every day, and gave him carte blance come in or phone it in. Trump was the only one to make a habit of taking up their offer.

They have taken a truck load of heat for it, too.

Brett Baier and Megyn Kelly have not been on many, many TV’s one time, since that terrible and demanding First debate.

We switched to Lou Dobbs and Maria and that is it. Lately we have done HANNITY, since he finally got off the fence.

The DNC and media are simply magnifying Bernie’s few and sparse little contributions against Hillary, just to get him out of the race.

It is virtually a nothing burger.

Bern has gingerly and mildly tossed a line out there, of facts.

Maybe two.

But, hardly “LOTS of HITS”.

We know already who is doing the HITTING, and who has “weakened” her.

It “ain’t” Bernie Sanders.

Mr Clinton...wow. Not sure what’s with the eyes, but ya, he looks like death warmed over. Cancer? Late stage HIV? (aids)?

Look at it this way.

The son in law, Jared Kushner, will be the family eye of the transition. Nothing happens the family can’t sign off on.

This doesn’t mean that someone like Jeff Sessions can’t be included to round up trustworthy political hands, like his own aide, Stephen Miller, for just one example, who incidentally has already done an outstanding job for TRUMP, taking care of business.

Good people like Sessions have many loyalists and friends happy to help.

The nuts and bolts are something Kushner can over see for Mr. TRUMP, but the political insiders who are top notch and skilled will have a place, is my bet imho.

He’s picked a trusted executive who will delegate to experts.

The attempt to make Bill a sypathetic figure has begun.

Like putting a neck brace on your client.

“you can’t say those nasty things about this poor ex-president suffering from dimensia.”

Watch.

I have a lot of young friends from social media and online games and so on. Almost everyone of them is behind Bernie Sanders. They feel he is sincere, and benevolent, and are so historically ignorant they don’t get the fact that socialism has been tried repeatedly and in a variety of circumstances and is an evergreen of failure.

They do NOT like Hillary, because the stench of corruption is more than they will abide. They feel the SAME about the GOPe, and rightly so.

Trump COULD reach some of these young people. He will have to make his case, and make it on his own behalf. People have forgotten that this was a skill of Reagan’s. He was always an advocate for the -ideas- he promoted. The combative dismissiveness of others came in with GHW Bush, ironically the guy who bleated the most about reaching across the aisle.

Trump gets social media. He gets the somewhat inchoate stream of consciousness that social media entails. He could reach them, and salvage some. He would be as positive a historical watershed as the Bush-Clinton era was disastrous.

For example, Trump has a woman problem.

This is a myth just as it was for Romney who won the white women's vote 56% to 42%. They comprised 38% of the voters.

It is race and ethnicity that is skewing the data on women. Black women voted 96% to 4% for Obama and comprised 8% of the voters; latina women voted 76% to 24% for Obama and comprised 6% of the voters; all others voted 66% to 31% for Obama and comprised 5% of the voters.

In terms of the women's vote, race and ethnicity trump gender.
