    The latest Los Angeles Times/USC daily tracking poll shows Trump surging back up again to within .4 of Clinton.

    Wasn't she up 15 points somewhere on Friday? How can this happen! ;-)

    Now Vegas, Einstein understood time far better than we do, and he would never rely on dated polls from the past over a current daily tracking poll. Just ask him! ;-)

    Or check the current poll: http://www.latimes.com/politics/

    I would say that these days (the last two, at least) are not a bad time to be a Trump supporter. He hasn't made a major screw-up that's hit the news in at least that long. If you're a Trump supporter, any day that Donald Trump doesn't say something that is outrageously stupid is a good day.

    Yes! Just as John McCain overcame his large deficit in the polls in 2008 and went on to roundly defeat Barack Obama thanks to the intellectual acuity and advice of his running mate Sarah Palin. I am just as confident that Trump will surge as the election nears as I am that John McCain thrashed Barack Obama in the general election in 2008 despite his early deficit in the polls.

    Yes, I do. However, McCain was not helped by his ignorance of economic issues and his bizarre vice-presidential pick. Trump has demonstrated an even greater ignorance of economics, foreign affairs, geography, government, and almost any other topic related to the presidency. I think most Americans know that, even more than they knew that McCain was not up to snuff. At least he picked a better running mate than McCain did.

    Clinton Was Sued for Intimidating Black Voters in Arkansas
    Newsmax.com ^ | December 22, 2002 | Carl Limbacher

    Posted on 12/22/2002, 8:46:24 PM by Paul Atreides

    In 1989 then-Gov. Bill Clinton was sued as one of three top Arkansas officials responsible for the intimidation of black voters in his state as part of a legal action brought under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, NewsMax.com has learned.

    And a year earlier the U.S. Supreme court ruled that Clinton had wrongfully tried to overturn the election of a black state representative in favor of a white Democrat.

    In the 1989 case, "the evidence at the trial was indeed overwhelming that the Voting Rights Act had been violated," reported the Arkansas Gazette on Dec. 6, 1989. (The paper later became the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.)


    "Plaintiffs offered plenty of proof of monolithic voting along racial lines, intimidation of black voters and candidates, other official acts that made voting harder for blacks," the Gazette said.

    A federal three judge federal panel ordered Clinton, then Arkansas Attorney General Steve Clark and then-Secretary of State William J. Mc Cuen to draw new boundaries to give maximum strength to black voters.

    "Until last year," the Gazette complained at the time, "in more than a thousand legislative elections, the (Arkansas) delta region sent not one black to the legislature. Last year, the federal district court split a multimember district in Crittenden County that had submerged the large number of black voters in the county."

    In a related 1988 case, Clinton had tried to replace duly elected African-American state representative with a white candidate, only to be stopped by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    "The court, by an 8-0 vote, ruled against an appeal by Gov. Bill Clinton and other Arkansas officials that had challenged the election of Ben McGee as a state legislator," the Associated Press reported on Dec. 12, 1988. McGee is an African-American.

    "The case began when blacks in Crittenden County filed a voting rights lawsuit attacking the county's at-large system for electing two House members. The suit contended that the system deprived black voters of a chance to elect a black to the House.

    A special three-judge federal court had agreed earlier in the year that the system violated the federal Voting Rights Act.

    The three-judge court threw out the results of a March 8 primary election in which the black candidate McGee, was defeated by James Stockley, the white candidate handpicked by Gov. Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

    "That was tantamount to election on Nov. 8, since no Republican ran for the seat," the AP said.

    Clinton and the other state officials had argued that the federal court improperly threw out the results of the first primary and ordered a new election.

    The Supreme Court ruling came as the then-governor was fighting another court battle to preserve racial profiling in his state, a tool that Clinton later criticized while president as a "morally indefensible, deeply corrosive practice."

    But a decade earlier he approved the profiling of Hispanics by Arkansas State Police as part of a drug interdiction program in 1988, the Washington Times revealed in 1999.

    "The Arkansas plan gave state troopers the authority to stop and search vehicles based on a drug-courier profile of Hispanics, particularly those driving cars with Texas license plates," the Times said.

    "A federal judge later ruled the program unconstitutional, the paper reported. "A lawsuit and a federal consent decree ended the practice - known as the 'criminal apprehension program' the next year."

    Then Gov. Clinton, however, not only criticized the profiling ban, "at one point, (he) threatened to reinstate the program despite the court's ruling," the Times said.

    "The state's position was to give away a . . . program that we're now trying to get back," Clinton announced at the time, saying the race-based stop and search program was more important than even airport security measures.
    [/B]
    Three years later in 1991, Clinton actually did implement a modified version of the profiling program that prohibited the use of ethnic screening but allowed troopers to continue to stop cars on the highway at their discretion.


    Hearing Clinton's condemnation of racial profiling in 1999, Roberto Garcia de Posada, executive director of the Hispanic Business Roundtable, complained that the then-president "had been a strong supporter of racial profiling against Hispanics in the past."

    "He does not have the moral authority to lead a national campaign on this issue. If President Clinton truly meant what he said . . . he should apologize to all those Hispanics who suffered this 'morally indefensible' practice, which he publicly supported," de Posada said.

    On Thursday and Friday both ex-President Clinton and his wife, Democratic Party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, criticized Republicans for trying to suppress the black vote in states like Arkansas and Florida. But reporters declined to ask either Clinton about the well documented record of black voter disenfranchisement in Arkansas while they ran the state.

    I don't know about Pence, but if Kasich were the nominee, I think he could have beaten Clinton. I also think the Dems could have chosen a better nominee. I think Jim Webb (who ironically said he would vote for Trump), would have been a better choice than Clinton.

    I just read up on him and there's no way. He doesn't have an establishment name, but he's too close to the neocons in track record.

    The bases come with you no matter who you choose.

    It is the 45% of independents the parties have to win over. The bases are as irrelevant as non swing states.

    Opinions are being extremely distorted by globalist media for the upper middle class and up.

    But there isn't a single person in the 45% of independents who aren't anti-establishment.

    All the polls are as much lies as the news articles.

    Humans are front runners by nature. If they showed that Hillary is actually down by 10, she would be down by 20 within a week, and down by 30 the next week.

    Trumps problems are of a PC nature, and one can look at the results of things like the new Ghostbuster movie's BO returns to see how fed up people are with anything PC. Political correctness does originate from a good place. It is dangerous to use it for so many dumb battles that you saturate a nation of 320 million.

    People are naive if they think that is what will cost him the election. For a lot of Americans, it will be a breath of fresh air.

    I can promise you one thing, there won't be a working class American who votes Hillary and doesn't regret it if she gets in.

    The only question left is, "what do we dread more, TPP or Iran?"

    I think this is the 1st time where one candidate already has term worthy horribleness declared before they even swear the oath.

    I don't even want to begin to imagine what they plan to surprise us with.

    Webb's one of those old school Blue Dog Democrats that could have brought more white males to support the party, imo.
