This. Is. Insane.

Yes, there were small precincts where Romney got zero votes in 2012. And the converse is true.

Find me one person in those precincts that says they voted differently and would have broken the 100% unanimity.

One.

You can't. #riggedmyass

Man, look at that great value of the dollar in Trump/Trump-lean states.

Shame about the authoritarian far-left Demoncrat states. Maybe President Trump will help them out, if they ever get over their tantrum they'll throw after the skewed polls make them think they'll get Corrupt Alcoholic.

It's not just small precincts, look at 1920 for example:
Counties with Highest Percentage of the Vote (Democratic)

Chester County, South Carolina 100.00%
Edgefield County, South Carolina 100.00%
Clarendon County, South Carolina 100.00%
Bamberg County, South Carolina 100.00%
Hampton County, South Carolina 100.00%

A lot of members of the GOP have been vying for the title of spineless coward but you gotta give to Jeb's son. He insults your mother with racially charged comments and makes a joke out of your father and you endorse him anyways.

Well earned.

I think after Real Time last week, Santorum is another strong contender.

As senator, Clinton promised 200,000 jobs in Upstate New York. Her efforts fell flat.





That's it, I'm done with this chronic alcoholic.

I need someone intellectually curious enough to create an arbitrarily selected number of jobs in Upstate New York through Congressional legislation. Hopefully as jobs that are STOLEN from Michigan.

I moved from Michigan to Rochester during Clinton's time in the Senate to attend grad school.

I moved back to Michigan after Mitt Romney convinced me the trees ARE the right height.

George P. Bush endorsed Trump. Looks like the Bush family is slowly turning to the dark side.

Addressing state GOP activists Saturday, Bush said it was time to put aside any lingering animosity from the primaries — where Trump defeated Bush's dad, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, among others — and get behind Trump.

"From Team Bush, it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you know what? You get back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton," Bush said, according to video of the remarks provided by an audience member.

I see that Trump is trying another reset/pivot.

Can't wait to read all the media stories fawning over his speech because it didn't call Hillary something bad.

Incomes and welfare payments are a big part of it. Too simple, but the just of it is a buck goes further in many states because it's a wealth transfer to bolster their economy from the rich states to poor.

Key players in GOP’s anti-Trump movement are preparing to launch an independent presidential campaign for Evan McMullin — a CIA veteran and the chief policy director of the House Republican conference — sources close to the effort told BuzzFeed News.

Veteran Republican strategist Rick Wilson, a Florida-based media consultant and outspoken Trump critic, is expected to be involved in McMullin’s campaign. Sources said Wilson was in Washington on Sunday meeting with members of McMullin’s prospective campaign — which includes some who were involved in a group called Better for America, which has been pushing an independent presidential bid.

McMullin did not immediately respond to requests for comment from BuzzFeed News. He would make for an unlikely presidential candidate. He has never held elective office before and has spent most of his career as a CIA officer, according to his LinkedIn page. Young and unmarried, McMullin received an MBA at Wharton in 2011, and after a stint at Goldman Sachs, went to work as a policy wonk on Capitol Hill.

Unlike National Review writer David French, another conservative courted by anti-Trump Republicans to launch a long-shot third-party bid, McMullin has virtually no public profile. He doesn’t appear regularly on television, and has just 135 followers on Twitter. His most high-profile recent appearance seems to have been a TEDx talk about genocide he gave at London Business School in April.

The questionable health condition of Hillary Clinton should be a major issue of the 2016 campaign.

The latest evidence comes in the form of Clinton being helped up a set of stairs by multiple individuals outside what appears to be a home.

The photos, published by Reuters and Getty, show the 68-year-old candidate with aides holding her arms as she ascends the stairs.

Fuck, he missed the deadline in several big states (FL, PA, WI, GA, NC).

Can make Ohio if he gets the signatures.

But a fringe candidate. Won't get 5% of the vote.

I hope Trump spends a lot of time and energy attacking this new NeverTrump candidate. It's sure to piss him off and screw up his new pivot and any attempts at party unity. Of course, I'm loving it.

Not really news, he's backed Democrats for years. Except for Rick Snyder.

He broke with the GOP over Johm McCain's far-right radicalism:
Milliken, reached at his Traverse City home Thursday. "He keeps saying, 'Who is Barack Obama?' I would ask the question, 'Who is John McCain?' because his campaign has become rather disappointing to me.

"I'm disappointed in the tenor and the personal attacks on the part of the McCain campaign, when he ought to be talking about the issues."

Milliken, a lifelong Republican, is among some past leaders from the party's moderate wing voicing reservations and, in some cases, opposition to McCain's candidacy.
Click to expand...
Milliken stopped short of saying he will vote for Obama, but said he differs with McCain on the Iraq war and his choice of Palin.

"I know John McCain is 72. In my book, that's quite young," said Milliken, 86, Michigan's longest-serving governor. But he added, "What if she were to become president of the United States? The idea, to me, is quite disturbing, if not appalling.

"Increasingly, the party is moving toward rigidity, and I don't like that. I think Gerald Ford would hold generally the same view I'm holding on the direction of the Republican Party."

The ultimate stab in Trumps back, he'll fall apart after that if he gets a significant number of endorsements, but the true downside is it could help defend some Congressional Districts and surprisingly tight Senate races. It could help give some conservatives a reason to show up on election day because I don't think money will be enough to fight against poor conservative turn out and straight dem ticket voters that are energized by the thought of Trump as president.
