Hillary reminds me of the flip of putting Romney vs Obama. Not the corruption part, but just the fact you know you want Obama to lose, but you don’t WANT Romney. Nobody wanted Romney.

Nobody on the left really like her...they are just propping her up for the cause.

Guess the requested donation for receiving a Woman Card didn’t go over so well.

Re>I predict that it will be very ugly in the cities.

That will cost Democrats a lot of votes. People won't venture out.

I think a lot of “holder’s people” will feel they will be better heard burning down the Dollar store than voting.

The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)is no different except on a $$scale than this:(Rep. Corrine Brown)

Why are the Clinton's above the law? Why? They must be Blackmailing half of Washington and beyond.....our Department of Justice is just as dirty as our State Department is! Time for a change!!!

Mook has used this "falling short" playbook over and over again.

Team Hillary 'anxious' about poor fundraising - June 22

"I have some slightly concerning news -- our fundraising is still behind where we thought it would be for June," said Robby Mook in a fundraising email.

Mook: 'I've Spent More Nights Sitting Awake, Stressed' - June 29

"The truth is, as of today, we're 130,000 donations short of our goal," Mook wrote in the plea for cash.

Trump fundraising sets off Clinton camp alarms - August 8

In an internal memo ... "Donald Trump also had his best fundraising month of the campaign, raising $80 million," explains Mook in the roughly 750-word missive -- titled "Wake Up Call" -- after trumpeting Clinton's own $90 million haul between the campaign and other Democratic committees. "This was far more than anyone expected -- and should be a wake-up call to all Hillary supporters. We must redouble our efforts in the coming weeks.

What to look for? FEC reports. Mook is merely a pitchman.

To: A message

I did notice that the letter signed by 200+ GOP people, the Weinstein letter, was news last week, before it was even sent to the RNC, and is not news this week, after it was sent. Odd, that.

Means it’s time to donate another C-note to Trump campaign!

1. She cannot get above about 45% in the polls, and not all of them at that. This is the kiss of death for an incumbent (and she IS that - not just the same party, but she worked for him and hasn’t criticized his policies).

2. She’s spending money like crazy (ads on NBC during the Olympics just can’t be cheap), and the numbers aren’t moving for her.

3. The media is totally in the tank for her - every negative thing about her is buried, or explained away as racist, sexist, fantasy, etc., etc. if it can’t be buried; Trump is being relentlessly assaulted by the media, as well - and all of this to no great effect except during the week after the Dem convention (where you expect a bump in the polls).

4. I have seen very few bumper stickers, and NO yard signs, for Clinton. No one that I know who is for her is enthusiastic at all. Yeah, I’m in Texas - but Texas Dems tend to be very up-front about it, very proud to be Dems...but there’s nothing there.

5. Now the money is falling off...that’s as much of a sign of impending political death as not eating anything is a sign of impending actual death in a frail, old person. Money is the oxygen, the fuel of politics.

6. Trump has been (wisely, IMHO) carefully guarding his expanding hoard of campaign funds for a push beginning in September. He’s letting her spend like crazy now, to no real effect because only political junkies (most of whom have long since made up their minds, one way or the other) are paying attention right now. He will hit her HARD on the airwaves, hit her HARD in the debates, and hit her HARD at 2-3 big rallies every single day until November 8.

I believe that Hillary’s ceiling is at about 45%, possibly 48% if Trump really screws up (and I think that amateur hours is over at the Trump campaign - he is exercising great discipline now, just going after her and Obama, and showing how his policies will help the American public, and his new campaign people will keep him on that track). I’m not saying that he can’t lose - he certainly CAN, especially given the vote fraud that we all KNOW will occur - but I think that it is his to lose. She is a terrible candidate - forgetting her political positions - she has anti-charisma, she can’t speak well, she looks like death warmed over much of the time...and she won’t be campaigning on weekends.

Get ready for President Trump.

“Release news stories that Cintons campaign is floundering, that Bill is having an affair with another intern, do some black-ops”


His campaign can, and should do the first of these. It can’t touch the others with a 10-foot pole. Let someone unconnected with the campaign - really, legitimately, unconnected - do that and sew further doubts about the Witch.

Oh, and let’s not forget that Wikileaks is still out there, and still claims to have information that will put her in jail. That’s the wild card...and it is really, legitimately, unconnected with Trump.

“I would think it’s a bit early to pull ad money.”


Yeah. Maybe pulling ads in CA and NY - but not in battleground states, not in August. I think that her ship has hit the iceberg, and unless something big changes for the better for her, this is among the first signs that it is over.

She hasn’t gone above 45% in the polls, not with the entire news media whoring for her these past few weeks. To paraphrase Dr. McCoy, “She’s dead, Jim.”

foreign political donations are illegal but that’s what the hag is all about anyway so maybe she needs to tap her foreign co-conspirator criminals for more money. If they don’t donate to her, that must mean they’ve lost faith in the Clinton/Soros machine’s ability to deliver.
