Hmmm haven’t seen that one..link?
BALDWIN: But the reaction everyone is talking about today is the one that actually happened just behind Donald Trump at that rally as the cameras were rolling. So I am going to replay Donald Trump's comments, but I want you to look not at Donald Trump, but at the man in the red just to the right of your screen.The press will lie to your face without so much as a blink. They are pathological liars.(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TRUMP: Hillary wants to abolish -- essentially abolish the Second Amendment.
(BOOING)
TRUMP: By the way, and if she gets to pick -- if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks, although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
[15:05:07]BALDWIN: The man in the shadow, out of the shadows today, we found you, Darrell Vickers. We have found you in Oak Island, North Carolina.
Welcome, sir.DARRELL VICKERS, ATTENDED TRUMP RALLY: Thank you, Brooke.
BALDWIN: All right, so the world watched your jaw drop. I want you to tell me, what was -- what were you thinking?
VICKERS: Well, I was thinking exactly what I said to my neighbor, Connie. And that was, I can't believe he said it. The media will have a field day with this one.
(LAUGHTER)VICKERS: I was just absolutely taken aghast.
BALDWIN: Said it, meaning what? What was your immediate visceral interpretation, without hearing everyone chatting about it?
VICKERS: Well, Trump has got a very unique personality. And he makes jokes off the cuff. And one of the things, had we had a chance to talk to him, I would have taken him to the shed. Down here in the South, we don't curse in front of women, we don't drink liquor in front of the preacher, and we don't make jokes like that in public.
Now, may do things in private. We may go to the shed and drink some moonshine or something like that. But we would have taken Mr. Trump to the shed and said, don't say things like that, because people will misconstrue it.
But it was clear to my mind, and to the people around me, that he was trying to make a joke. And, unfortunately, people, like some of the media, for instance, like Huffington Post, will take that and screw that up and distort it. And it was not meant to be that way. No one...
BALDWIN: OK, I'm not trying to talk about distorting. I just really -- I thought it would be fascinating to talk to you, sir.
And I hear you. I'm from the South. I understand what taking someone out to the shed means. But just so I am crystal, crystal-clear, you know, you thought he was making a joke about being violent? VICKERS: Well, he wanted to make a point. And the point is that Hillary Clinton is going to cause us to have problems with the Second Amendment and with gun rights, et cetera.
And it was a joke, clearly a joke, and not something that I would have taken seriously. There's no one that I know would have taken that seriously.
BALDWIN: You know she's never actually said she wants to abolish the Second Amendment?
VICKERS: I understand that. I understand that. But there are so many people that are -- believe that the solution is to control the guns, and there are many of us who believe that the solution is to control the people who have the guns. We don't like people who don't have clear mental faculties being allowed to have guns. And that's some of the things. We have laws in the country that will take care of that. Let's enforce the laws. Let's don't eliminate them.
BALDWIN: Mr. Vickers, let me ask you this, because I know you are a staunch Republican. You live in North Carolina. I understand you wanted to go to this rally, you wanted to see the man in person, because you had not yet made up your mind. Is that correct?
VICKERS: That's correct.
My family has been Republican since 1854. And I will support the party. I think the Republican Party has got a superior platform, a platform that's beyond doubt the best solution to our country's problems.BALDWIN: Why hadn't you made up your mind yet?
VICKERS: Because I wanted to see the man's character. And there were two questions that I actually wanted to have answers, and, number one, from whom will he seek advice? And, number two, when the Secret Service agents write their inevitable tell-all 10 years from now, what are the headlines going to be?
And I really want to understand the character. In the South, we shake your hand, look you in the eye and make a determination whether you're a good person or not. Trump is a good...
BALDWIN: Did you get those answers, Mr. Vickers?
VICKERS: I did.
BALDWIN: Are you saying yes to Trump?
VICKERS: No, I did get those answers, and I listened to him for over an hour. And 23 seconds of that were -- caused my mouth to drop, obviously.
But I did listen to him for over an hour. And I'm convinced that he's very intelligent, he's very astute as a businessman.BALDWIN: Are you voting for him?
VICKERS: Yes, I will. I absolutely will, because I believe he has the kind of integrity that we need in this country. And he's honest. And I am convinced he has the moral fiber to lead this country.
[15:10:04]
I'm not convinced that the moral fiber exists in the other candidate.BALDWIN: Darrell Vickers, I appreciate you. We found you. We saw your jaw drop. And now we have heard from the man himself. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
VICKERS: You're quite welcome. ANA MARIE COX, MTV NEWS: OK. Well, I think the most important thing about that interview was his concession that he did believe it was a joke about assassinating...
GLORIA BORGER, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: Look, I thought that he obviously thought it was a bad joke, as Paul Ryan said. That's why he whispered to his neighbor and said to you, look, I would have taken him to the woodshed because here in my state we don't joke about that kind of thing. We take it very seriously. ...
I know, sorry.... ;(
Will try to find it for you.
Thanks for clarification.........
Notice that big “Liberate Amimals Now” banner? That sort of crap would not be tolerated in a Trump rally.

These large attendance gaps at the respective Trump and Clinton rallies highlight what some have called "The Monster vote" phenomenon. When Reagan was elected this so-called monster vote was refereed to as the "silent Majority".
I truly believe that the polls mean nothing, as the pollsters are polling "likely voters".
The silent majority (monster vote)consist of many that did not vote in the last 20 years or so, but are coming out now for Trump. These "new voters" are not considered in the pollster's "likely voter" count.
Bottom line....the polls are cooked and/or meaningless at this point
No problem. I think we tend to somehow think maybe there is a glimmer of hope that the media will report the truth (yea, right!)and they just keep beating the general public into a frenzy.
Were there any Protesters and where did they go all of a suddenly after the conventions?
Was there an expiration date on protest & outrage?
It was post #59 on this thread. Just noticed that it was pulled by the Moderator.

The is nothing in the CNN report that flat states any offical contact. Nothing. They leave that to the reader to infer.
See the Vickers interview, as well as the CNN assumptions made before Vickers was interviewed, and CNN characterization of Vickers, less than a minute after the interview was concluded.
Yes, that tweet from @cernovich was today.

We’ve got to get stickers and lawn signs out there, highly visible. Visible support thwarts fraud. (hehe, say that three times fast!)
