The blue-col­lar wing of the Re­pub­lic­an primary elect­or­ate has con­sol­id­ated around one can­did­ate. The party’s white-col­lar wing re­mains frag­men­ted. “It’s a chal­lenge to Re­pub­lic­ans that nobody has con­sol­id­ated the col­lege-gradu­ate vote against Trump,” says Glen Bol­ger, a long­time GOP poll­ster skep­tic­al of the front-run­ner. … Even in a sprawl­ing field of 15 can­did­ates, Trump has opened a wide lead among Re­pub­lic­ans without a col­lege edu­ca­tion al­most every­where. Those voters, polls show, are re­cept­ive to his hard-line mes­sage on im­mig­ra­tion and to his op­pos­i­tion to free trade, and they ex­press the most ali­en­a­tion about Wash­ing­ton and the coun­try’s over­all dir­ec­tion—mak­ing...

October 15, 2015, as seen on On the Record with #Greta Van SusterenGreta Van Susteren: Prime Minister Netanyahu is not happy with the United States's suggestion that they are using excessive force in the latest round of problems in #Israel. What do you think of the United States suggestion that it is excessive force by Israel?   #Donald Trump: Well Israel is being hit from all sides, and you know, if you look at this new deal, this horrible, one of the worst contracts ever negotiated, the Iran nuclear deal, I mean how can Israel be happy with the United States....

There is no doubt that conservative presidential candidate Donald Trump always says what he believes. He is a strong defender of American values and embodies the principles of Ronald Reagan. Now, we’re all seeing this recently unearthed 2011 interview Trump did with David Brody of the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN). He was asked to go into detail about his response to a question Bill O’Reilly on Fox News asked him about the Islam and Muslim problem in America.

URGENT: I know a woman who is in desperate need of help. She is in an abusive relationship, a victim of domestic violence. She is regularly beaten, cut, and her life threatened. Any time she tries to fight back, the community leaders tell her that she is wrong to do so. They ask her questions: What did you do to incite the violence?Maybe you said something to cause anger?Maybe you didn't make supper in time?Maybe the house wasn't in order? They urge her not to fight back. They say she must deserve it for some reason. Go home. Resume your...

Lauren Batchelder was the aggressive young woman who struck a very defiant pose when questioning #Donald Trump at the No Labels Conference on October 12, 2015.

Trump called both the deal and the Americans who negotiated it, "incompetent.""We will have so much winning if I get elected, that you may get bored with winning," said Trump at the rally. "Believe me. I agree, you'll never get bored with winning. We never get bored."When I asked Trump what he'll demand in the deal that isn't already there, he told me: "You're going to have to watch.""I don't want to say things that the other side is going to learn everything about me," Trump added. "Do you understand that? That's part of the problem. Everything is talk...

Donald Trump Confronted and Stopped a Mugger in 1991 by James Rosen, New York Daily News POSTED: November 20, 1991 When he saw “a big guy with a big bat” bashing another fellow, Donald Trump did what any self-respecting billionaire would do: He ordered his driver to pull over. … Witnesses said Trump, with Marla Maples tugging at his arm to try to stop him, leaped from his black stretch limousine Monday evening during the Manhattan assault. … “The guy with the bat looked at me, and I said, “Look, you’ve gotta stop this.

I was a a Maker Faire today and noticed a 60ish man wearing a shirt with the words "United We Stand" and "9-11-2001" on it. Thinking he might be a fellow traveler, I struck up a conversation and asked him who was supporting for President. "Not Biden, not Biden," he said. "I don't want Hillary either. Um, what is his name? Oh yeah, Boehner!" (He pronounced it properly as 'Bayner'.) "Boehner?" I replied. "Are you sure you mean Boehner?" "Yeah, Boehner," he insisted. I took pity on him. "Do you mean 'Bernie'? Bernie Sanders?" "Yes, that's who it is," said...

"Ghazi" means "great warrior" in Arabic. The name "bin ghazi" means "the tribe of ghazi." Turkish Sultans used "ghazi" as an honorific, as in Caliph Sultan Ghazi Mehmed II Khan Caesar. Benghazi, the town in Libya, is also a notorious hangout for AQIM, al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (Mediterranean Africa). Those are the thoughts that come up in Arab minds when they hear Benghazi. It's the perfect propaganda place for al-Qaeda. Radical Islam is at war with us, as they keep telling us out loud -- and we just handed them a historic victory, a repeat of 9/11/01 to the very...

Talk about chickens coming home to roost. Talk about the Mother of All Fiascos. It's the revenge of Osama bin Laden from the bottom of the ocean, and the message is plain: al-Qaeda is very much alive, and America is a paper tiger. The Middle East is beginning to fall apart -- Iran just sent a spy drone over Israel's sensitive defense installations, and the IDF waited hours to react; Turkey forced down a Syrian arms plane, and al-Qaeda's Al Zawahiri openly assaulted the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi in a six-hour attack, working through al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (AQIM), while...

No matter where you live in the USA, without donating money, you can make a difference in this election by going to http://www.mittromney.com/call-home-landing. I live in New York, a hopelessly blue state. There is very little I can do locally to help Romney. However, they have an excellent phone-from-home system this year, much better than other phone banks I've done before. It uses a combination of a regular phone for making the calls and a website where you enter the responses online. They select the phone calls for you, so they have me calling New Hampshire rather than New York....

President Obama’s re-election campaign announced last month the launch of “Rabbis for Obama,” a group whose stated goal is to rally grassroots support for the President in the Jewish community. The announcement came amid reports that Jewish support for Barack Obama, while still strong, is dwindling when compared to his numbers in 2008; as well as some hard-hitting ads for GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney targeting Jewish concerns, especially regarding support for Israel.

My new husband and I are visiting his uncle and his third wife, a lovely woman. We get along great politically. They could well be FReepers once I introduce them to FR. The problem is her daughter, a teacher in her late 20s. The daughter is raising money so she can join a mission thru Habitat for Humanity (H4H) to spend two weeks in Vietnam doing some humanitarian work. She is now doing fundraising for her trip. She has to pay her own round-trip airfare AND pay H4H $2000 for the priviledge of working on this mission for two weeks....
