Sure, but it's hardly far removed from the reason why "under God" was added in the first place.
I'm British, but I am familiar with the pledge. It's not the pledge that horrifies me, it's the obvious xenophobia behind replacing nation with people and the more disguised religious bigotry behind the emphasis of ONE god.
"Under one God" gets way too close to "kick out the dirty heretics" compared to just "under God", for me. I dunno.

I just think that was all already there and barely trying to hide. I suppose my larger point is that the pledge of allegiance is already creepy!

Only on CNN can Hillary admitting she no longer shares the struggles of the middle class but she hasn't forgotten can be spun into: "this raises questions of Clinton's sincerity about the middle class"
And that's fair. But the concern is likely Trump's emphasis and how that fits in with his other views on Muslims.
That's fair! Weirdly I don't really have a problem with the pledge, because I find it hard to get too worked up about phrases that have been around for ages. It's why I'll sing God Save The Queen despite being a) an atheist and b) a republican (small r)
EDIT: kids having to recite it every day is weird af though

I agree, it's weird and creepy that we make children recite the pledge every single day

What
Also fuck McCain. He's making it very clear that the Senate will reject any Hillary SCOTUS nominee if they hold the chamber. FUCK you.

Why didn't Monmouth ask about generic congressional ballot. Argh
ummm... selling baby parts? I would bet money that most people on the right still think all that stuff is true.
I'm being honest here, this Trump TV or Trump Network or whatever this monstrosity is scares the shit outta me. Giving guys like Bannon or Milo or Alex Jones their own network to take holds of people's minds with...it's dangerous. Even if it fails, it would embolden some of the darkest parts of America. It would turn Trump and the rest into martyrs in the minds of alt-righters.
CNN seems to like the story.
More that it exists and they can talk about it than if it's accurate.

It's a joke based on the "incumbent rule" that unskewers often use. In reality I'd love to see Hillary hit 50 just for symbolic reasons, but of course I'll need to see it in more polls before I get my hopes up.

What's the O'Keefe thing? I googled and all I got were twitter links and articles saying how the media is silencing the truth.
Is that the stringy thing he has on the top of his head?
People talk about automation taking people's jobs. I don't know if I'm as alarmed as some people on that subject, but an autonomous robot could definitely take Wolf Blitzer's job. That guy is a walking meat sack who says the words in front of him.

If it's any comfort, consider this:
1. Starting a TV "news" network in 2017 is a bad idea.
2. It'll be a Trump business.
Holy fuck I never knew about the god awful music she did. Jesus.

It's a little scary, but if it succeeds I think it solidifies the fracturing of the GOP and all but ensures another extreme candidate in 2020.

I wil laugh if hilary breaks 50% of the vote on November 8th while trump does not even break 40%.

What would the legal argument for the Supreme Court being able to declare gerrymandering unconstitutional?

Well. Louisiana LV, JMC Analytics (R firm)
Trump: 45
Clinton: 38
Johnson: 4
Stein: 1
Trump: 45
Clinton: 38
Johnson: 4
Stein: 1
Gerrymandering violates the Equal Proection Clause by unequally empowering certain voters over others on the basis of race/politics/etc.
