Good morning, Gran. Cool-ish here, but sunny.
Good morning Lakeside Granny!
I’ve received a few polling calls. I received one such call during a Trump Rally. The gentleman said he wanted opinions about the election and also to extend an invitation to a luncheon for active and retired military. He said he could hear the rally in the back ground... I told him yes, that he was indeed hearing a Trump Rally. He hung up! I wish I’d gotten more information. It really annoyed me this group seemed to be exploiting the military, and obviously not supporting Trump.
Wow...! I hope you have a wonderful time this evening with your family.
Good morning back at you
Morning All....
Well, I heard that Hitlery’s going to hit Trump at the debate with a list of lies, and that she’s going to have her accomplices in the media check them live time so Trump can be called a liar at the debate.
What universe am I living in? Hillary is calling someone a liar. Hillary. I hope Trump doubles over with laughter.
It is awful about the mall shooting in our state. The mall is located about 50-60 miles north of Seattle. It’s a smaller community. Fox has reported on it a few times this a.m. - I should switch over to local news.
This morning I read through a thread that was started on FR last night. 4 women and 1 man were killed inside the Macy’s store (by beauty counter). The killer took off on foot and the mall is close to I-5 (major highway) and some were surmising that he parked a car on the other side of the freeway. Burlington is not too far from Canada, but I doubt he headed to Canada as there is a lot of security on both sides of the border. There are small towns north of Burlington as well as a small college “city”, Bellingham. Small towns and the Tulalip Indian Reservation between Burlington and Seattle.
The authorities said they were looking for a Hispanic, but based on the picture in the thread, at least some FReepers thought he looked middle-eastern. Based on what others said in the thread, there are Hispanics in the area and north of there b/c of the agricultural communities. Closest mosque is in Bellingham, which isn’t all that far away.
Here’s the largest thread:

Hi Lysie,
Hope you’re doing well.
Cavuto is having a special election show on now on Fox News.
Carson is on now. Nigel Farage is supposed to be on.
Trump does select beautiful places for his rallies. He has impeccable taste and that is reflected in business and personal life.
I agree that Trump’s internal polling is telling a different story than what we have been told. They select or target his venues accordingly.
Georgia has to be strongly in the win column, anything less, does not make sense.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Have the Pundiots declared Harpy the debate winner yet or are they going to wait til Monday, but enough about FOX SNOOZE. There is no question just like the primaries the experts are going to say she won on points, demeanor and knowledge while Trump failed in every phase of the contest. The Echo Chamber will get all wonky and completely miss the point of the debate and declare Trump the loser while the people will say otherwise.
All the pressure is on Hacking Hillary. She has to turn her campaign around and stop Trump’s momentum or her financing will begin drying up. She has been a DC wonk for forty years which means she should have the gummit answer for every question. As Secretary of State she better know the names of all the leaders and all the factions throughout the ME since most wrote checks to her. Any slip-up will be catastrophic and lead to more suspicions of a serious mental issue. If she cannot beat a commoner like Trump her campaign will be over and a post-debate Trump bump will be devastation.
What Donald has to understand and likely does is people don’t care about what the Establishmedia obsess about since they live in their bubble. The media cares about promoting the Marxist agenda and destroying Conservatism. Lester Holt will do whatever he can to help Hillary and stop Trump, it is his religion and what will get cheers from his peers. What he doesn’t understand is the commoners already expect his bias and will make Trump a sympathetic character.
Trump should assume most of Holt’s questions are going to be to either stump him or get him. They are going to be the usual racist, sexist, homophobe accusations to make him another Repub Boogerman, it is their only hope. Trump should ignore those questions and simply answer the questions he wants in his usual NY style. When Holt comes at him with the Income Tax question he needs to say the American people are not interested in his taxes since they understand why his well-paid lawyers demand he not reveal them, but voters do care about their taxes and the rigged system. He can then go on a variety of tangents whether it is lowering corporate to bring jobs or lowering their taxes to help them pay for Obamacare, those are issues Americans care about and will make real points. There is no rule he has to answer those liberal worldview questions nobody cares about so don’t.
He needs to stay on offense and keep Hillary on defense. He has to bring up the emails, pay to play and the corruption of the Clinton Family Laundry. He needs to explain the difference between the building of skyscrapers and her selling American access. He has to keep it civil and explain it in a way the low IQ voter understands how she is corrupt and why she is a threat to their security. He can give a series of rally speeches which are interesting and to the point. He needs to stay with America first, and kitchen table issues which are the last things the Punditocracy wants to discuss. The mediots are going to hate what he says no matter what, so he may as well give them a reason.
The only thing he has to do in this debate is to give the American people a viable alternative. Most of the people do not want to vote for her and he has to give them somewhere to go. They see how bad the economy is and if he comes out with a Reagan jingo like, “A Recession is when your neighbor is out of work, while a Depression is when you are out of work.” A quick phrase that will define the situation most people are in and frame the fear around the country then hang it around her neck.
A verbal visual would be extremely effective and especially if he could tie his experience into it. She will say he is inexperienced and the presidency is no place for on the job training like we did for Obozo. He needs to come back and say that the President is the CEO of America and you hire the best and most talented manage the details while you tell them where you want to go. Just like when building a building he doesn’t know how to weld a steel girder or install windows and doors, but he knows how to hire the most talented people who do who can create his vision.
He can then explain how America is a building needing to be rebuilt from the ground up. It has been run down and all the windows are broken and he is just the man to rebuild it. He can bring in the fabricators who can fix the foundation with the Wall and renegotiating bad agreements. He can fix the windows by cutting the fat and corruption out of DC which should only take him a year or two by bringing in his sharks to look at the books for waste. He can say with his leadership he can turn this rundown building into Trump tower where everyone wants to live and work and Make America Great Again.
Why Harpy has needed to spend two weeks cramming for this debate is cough, cough, a mystery. After forty years inside the system at the highest levels what does she need to study? You are going to get the most boring, focus tested Frank Duntz clichés ever devised. She is going to sound exactly like Al Gore rambling on for two minutes making sure she never says anything about anything except to call Trump a racist, sexist, xenophobe. Her biggest problem is she has never been challenged in the last twenty years and she is not going to enjoy it happening now. The entire country is going to enjoy watching her stew in her juices while she tries to attempt to be likable yacking about her mother and daughter to bump that female vote while men push ice picks in their ears.
Her biggest problem is you cannot lie your way into trustworthiness. You cannot lie your way into the truth, and her Clinton speak answers are going to arouse suspicion. The last thing she wants at the end of the debate is the country to see they have a choice between a liar and Trump. A good share of the country already knows she is one and that she only wants to become President is to funnel more money into her pockets and how does she change her image especially if Trump reminds them over and over?
Donald only has to be standing at the end of the debate. As long as he doesn’t throw water on her or call her lying Ted, he will pass the test. Anything more is a bonus and when he beats her with knowledge on economics and capitalism while promoting conservatism he can win going away. If he does that, showing himself to be the superior leader then he will have all the momentum and draw bigger and bigger numbers into his campaign. He understands what it is like having a 1 shot lead at the turn and how to play the course the rest of the way in. He is about to tee up on 10 and has to decide on the 3 wood or the driver. With a million watching and waiting, he is playing his own Doral CC.
Harpy has already been declared the winner by the DC Echo Chamber. They have been working on their Trump snark for days waiting to unleash that one sound bite to underline their moral superiority their fellow mediots will chuckle at. He needs to treat this as a giant rally and speak directly at America to lay out what they are all feeling and how he can begin to work on their massive problems. If he does that there is no Marxist cliché she can recite to solve anything and the whispers of our Forefathers will begin to be heard again.
Pray America wakes
We have had a cool front blow through up here.
Yesterday was very windy and cold.
Last night temps in the low 30s.
Hasn’t even began to warm up this morning but no wind yet.
I and my neighbor walking partner are on hold, waiting for a little warmer to go on our morning walk.
Morning bee.
Hanging up was very rude, must have been a dim! LOL
I have no doubt that Trump will blow Hillary out of the water. Look at this interview. With Letterman in 2010.

So sorry for this latest shooting.
Hope they catch this perp soon and I agree with you, more middle eastern.
We are not safe in our own communities and we need a leader that will take this in hand and give local authorities what they need to fight this terrorism.
GO TRUMP!
Good article.
But read his bio...
He certainly knows how to weld steel, install Windows and hang doors.
Thanks, we really like being at Churchill.
Another great essay, Bray!
“while she tries to attempt to be likable yacking about her mother and daughter to bump that female vote while men push ice picks in their ears.”
Trust me, it’s not just men would be putting ice picks in their ears - many of us women would want to do the same - I can’t imagine listening to or watching her for 4 years.
I’ve heard the same answer by various pundits to queries by various talking heads:
Q: what does Trump have to do to win the debate?
A: We’re sure that Hillary will say things to make him lose his temper, composure, makes him look crazy, angry (e.g., to show he has a bad temperament and not fit for the Presidency) - he has to stay “presidential” and not lose his cool (paraphrasing).
And here he is again in 2013

He talks about himself growing up.
Agree LG!
They’re opening the new Smithsonian African American museum. Obamas, Bill & Hill and W and Laura are there (I think it may have started under his term, but perhaps Bubba’s since he’s there, too). Said Trump wasn’t invite b/c they didn’t want it to be political(said Hill was there b/c she is a former 1st lady).
