Hillary Clinton can dish it out but she sure can’t take it. A furious Clinton tried to shout down a heckler who yelled “Bill Clinton is a rapist!” during her rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “I am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive, dangerous vision and the anger of people who support Donald Trump,” Clinton screamed, while aggressively jabbing a finger into the air. Here’s the video of the heckler in the crowd: Clinton, who was hoarse, looked visibly exhausted while confronting the heckler. It was an unusual outburst, since most politicians either ignore protesters or tell them...

Campaigning in Florida on Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claimed that she was in New York City on 9/11, when terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center. She made her claim while discussing terrorism and the threat posed by ISIS. “I know what happened not far from here at Pulse night club in Orlando,” she said. “I was in New York City on 9/11 as one of the two senators. I will defeat ISIS. I will protect America.” But Clinton wasn’t in New York on 9/11, according to Politico. As a United States Senator she was in Washington...

The Twitter account belonging to the hacker group Wikileaks featured a mysterious tweet last night hinting that another release of documents related to the presidential campaign was imminent, perhaps as soon as today. Previous releases of John Podesta's emails by the group have embarrassed the Clinton campaign. The Hill:​ “We transition to phrase [sic] three of our US election coverage next week. Keep us strong: https://shop.wikileaks.org/donate,” wrote the site. It did not provide information about what the third phase entails or if there are still more revelations to come. Wikileaks supporters, now including a number of disgruntled GOP nominee Donald...

According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal, the Clinton Foundation was under investigation earlier this year by the FBI, but that investigation was stymied and may have been shut down completely by the Justice Department. “Early this year, four FBI field offices—New York, Los Angeles, Washington and Little Rock, Ark.—were collecting information about the Clinton Foundation to see if there was evidence of financial crimes or influence-peddling, according to people familiar with the matter,” reports The Wall Street Journal. In addition, the FBI was actively probing former Clinton Foundation board member and current Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe, but...

In his last few months in the Senate, Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, isn’t pulling any punches -- especially after the recent revelations by FBI Director James Comey that more emails were found that could be related to the Clinton email probe. The pugilistic Reid, who plans to retire after finishing out this term in Congress, penned a blistering letter to Comey Sunday, accusing the FBI chief of holding back “explosive” information about Donald Trump’s close Russian ties while possibly violating the Hatch Act by reviving the Clinton email investigation. “Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double...

Loudonville, NY. Donald Trump has overcome a one point deficit in September and now leads Hillary Clinton by four points, 46-42 percent in a four-way race for Florida’s key electoral votes, according to a New York Times Upshot/Siena College Research Institute poll of likely Florida voters released today. Trump currently has the support of 46 percent of likely voters (up from 40 percent) compared to Clinton’s 42 percent (up from 41 percent) with former Governor Gary Johnson dropping to 4 percent from 9 percent and Green Party Candidate Jill Stein holding with 2 percent. Senator Marco Rubio now leads his...

Turns out the Clintons have been right all along: Lying really does work. Poring through all these purloined emails, you get the sense that these people spend every breathing second of their day either lying, plotting to tell lies or lying about lies they told in the past. And each batch of stolen emails is worse than the last. Hillary Clinton is a liar. She has terrible instincts. She doesn’t believe in anything. Her head is broken. She doesn’t know why she should be president. She is pathological. And she is psychotic. Just ask everybody who works for her. Just...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia TV station has found at least three instances in which votes were cast in recent elections under the names of people who were long dead. WPVI-TV (http://6abc.cm/2fcXVS7 ) dug through a decade's worth of Philadelphia's election and death records. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has warned of fraud at Philadelphia polls. He's specifically raised concerns about votes made by dead people. Among the three individuals was a woman who died in 2006 but cast ballots in 2008, 2012, 2014 and the 2016 primary election. Republican City Commissioner Al Schmidt says human error, like poll workers...

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - On a rooftop overlooking the walls of Jerusalem's Old City, around 200 American-Israeli fans of Donald Trump gathered to proclaim their support for the Republican candidate, convinced he will be Israel's best friend if elected. Wearing "Make America Great Again" baseball caps, the small crowd, ranging from Holocaust survivors in their 80s to grinning teenagers in Trump t-shirts, said they didn't care about the sexual assault allegations against the candidate or the online anti-Semitism of some of his supporters. "Trump will let Israel be itself and make its own decisions, that's what I like," David Weissman, a...

A few days ago, ABC News reported a twelve-point lead for Hillary Clinton in their tracking poll, but … it didn’t last long. Just three days later, the same tracking poll shows her lead over Donald Trump down to six points. Needless to say, the most prominent conclusion from this roller coaster is that the race is still rather volatile, even with just twelve days to go: With 12 days to go, Hillary Clinton holds a six-point edge over Donald Trump among an electorate fixated on the campaign and nervous about their candidate losing, according to a new Washington Post-ABC...

A video excerpt from liberal Michael Moore is taking the internet by storm. But it’s not Moore’s loyal fans singing his praises for a passionate political confession – it’s Donald Trump’s supporters who are doing the cheering. In the speech that was given before an audience in Ohio, reportedly for the film “Trumpland,” Moore delves deep into the mindset of Trump’s appeal. But first, he shockingly starts out by defending Trump supporters. “They’re not racists or rednecks, they’re actually pretty decent people. So, after talking to a number of them, I sort of wanted to sort of write this.” Moore...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - Leonard "Roscoe" Newton has been in and out of Florida's prisons since before he could vote, starting with a youthful conviction for burglary. He's been a free man for six years now with an important exception: he still can't vote. Newton, who is African American, is among nearly 1.5 million former felons who have been stripped of their right to vote in a state with a history of deciding U.S. presidential elections, sometimes by razor-thin margins of just a few hundred votes. Felons have been disenfranchised in Florida since 1868, although they can seek clemency to...

With 16 days to go until November 8, Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 2 percentage points — 43% to 41% — in a four-way race, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson saw his support held steady at 7%, while the Green Party's Jill Stein dipped to 3%.

Something funny is happening in the major national polling department of this presidential race and no one’s talking about it. First, somehow the narrative seems to be developing that the polls show Clinton with a near insurmountable lead. Not so fast. Not so fast at all. There is a very large gap between Trump and Clinton’s current national standing, as revealed by Goebbels/Pravda (CBS, NBC, ABC/Washington Post), on the one hand, versus the picture painted by three respected polling organizations that are not part of the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, on the other: Here are some of the...

Donald Trump won tonight’s debate. He didn’t implode, he didn’t blither, he didn’t continually interrupt Hillary Clinton and he didn’t even sniff much. And, frankly, he had the best retorts and one-liners. Clinton was on her heels much of the night, and several times, she had to reset by resorting to tired, hollow platitudes — which only drove home the point that she lacks authenticity and appears to be a typical politician who is therefore dishonest. That said, Clinton was an able, informed politician, but Trump — for the first time — appeared to be a worthy opponent. The fact...

Paul Ryan's job as speaker "may be under threat" from a pro-Donald Trump rebellion within the House of Representatives, CNN reported Wednesday. At issue for the top Republican in the country is a Monday conference call with House membership during which Ryan said he would no longer defend Trump or campaign for him, instead focusing on congressional races to ensure a GOP majority. Ryan's "position to abandon the GOP nominee has angered other Republicans who have expressed their concerns with Ryan's position on a private conversation call earlier this week," CNN's Manu Raju reported. "Why are these few votes important?...

THE BIG IDEA: Now that it has become crystal clear Donald Trump will not quit—that he has “unshackled” himself and plans to “limp” across the finish line—some Republicans who called on him to drop out over the weekend are reversing themselves. The senior senator from Nebraska tweeted this on Saturday: The comments made by Mr. Trump were disgusting and totally unacceptable under any circumstance. (1/2) It would be wise for him to step aside and allow Mike Pence to serve as our party's nominee. (2/2) But yesterday during a radio interview she announced that she will vote for Trump after...

Donald Trump has cut Hillary Clinton's post-debate lead to 4 points, down from a high of 7 earlier this week, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national poll released Wednesday. The results: Clinton: 43 percent Trump: 39 percent Gary Johnson: 7 percent Jill Stein: 2 percent Undecided: 5 percent Clinton holds a 2-point lead with the 82 percent who know how they're going to vote, according to Rasmussen.

Wilkes-Barre (United States) (AFP) - Lewd remarks about groping women? It's locker-room banter. Accusing former US president Bill Clinton of sexual abuse? He had to. Left for dust in the polls? Pollsters lie. Donald Trump's supporters appear oblivious to the gravity of his latest scandals and hemorrhaging support among lawmakers from his Republican Party, as passionate as ever about electing the real estate billionaire to the White House. Trump may be repelling undecided voters, but if the Grand Old Party has all-but renounced hope of victory on November 8, there is little sign the former reality TV star's loyalists are...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton's campaign is confronting an emerging risk to her presidential ambitions - if Donald Trump continues to trail her in opinion polls many Democrats may simply stay at home on Election Day. Without enough popular support, Clinton would enter the White House lacking the political capital she would need to drive through her agenda. In the worst-case scenario it could cost her the presidency if Republicans turn out in big numbers on Nov. 8. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, has spent much of her campaign sounding the alarm over the prospect of a President Trump. She has...
