_________________________________________________________________
Let me share with you my take on the race on the day before election day.


A group of reasons make me think Clinton is increasingly likely to win and increasingly likely to outperform the numbers which have seemed likely for the last week plus. I don't like making predictions. I think for the same reason I've never understood the appeal of gambling. I don't know the future. Why would I cause myself anxiety by stipulating to something I don't know? In any case, looking at the public polls, the best breakdowns of the early vote, the indications of a high turnout election in general, what I can glean about what Clinton campaign thinks is happening, I suspect Clinton is going to over-perform the public polls and end up with a more lopsided victory than a lot of us have expected.

Am I sure? Not at all. These are just 'more likely than not' reads; and a lot of those reads are favoring Clinton.

Glen Beck, "Obama Made Me a Better Man,,Talking Points Memo:

Even a busted clock is right twice a day............please read the last line...

It seems Glenn Beck likes to catch everyone off guard every once in a while with a
compassionate revelation or opposition to the conservative mainstream.

The pundit has been outspoken about his dislike for Donald Trump, has criticized Republicans for refusing to consider President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, and he has even urged "empathy" for the Black Lives Matter movement.

And now, Beck — who once said that Obama has a "a deep-seated hatred for white people" — says that the President has made him a better person.

"I did a lot of freaking out about Barack Obama," the conservative pundit told the New Yorker in a recent interview. “Obama made me a better man. ”Beck said that he regrets calling Obama a racist and recognizes that it's hard to relate to the experiences of African Americans.

“There are things unique to the African-American experience that I cannot relate to,” he told the New Yorker. “I had to listen to them.”

(in talking about Trump...brackets are mine)

“This guy is dangerously unhinged,” Beck told the New Yorker. “And, for all the things people have said about me over the years, I should be able to spot Dangerously Unhinged.”


(further down ............)

Beck praised Michelle Obama's campaign speeches warning of the dangers of Donald Trump, specifically the first lady's speech in New Hampshire blasting Trump over his vulgar comments on a now-notorious 2005 tape.

“She didn’t say, ‘The government should do X, Y, or Z.’ She said, ‘We,’ ‘Us’—without a political party. ‘We are better.’ ‘We need to stop this,’ ” he told the New Yorker. “It had to do with ‘Who are you as a human being?’ ‘How do you view women?’ Brilliant speech."

“That was a moment that transcended all political thought," he added.............

Five Simple Words that Describe the Republican Party...

Hate, Hate and More Hate......

November 2, 2016

The primary system did this...This is how it happened.

So among the republicans, 34 -38 percent of them favor Trump. Now, if there was one very strong opponent, he would not have won. But.....among 13 others, he was the strongest..given he had more solid support than the others. The others had their "faults" and they failed to gain strength. So Trump emerged with the most support..and became the nominee...

In Nazi Germany in the early 30s, before he was made the boss, it was exactly the same. Hitler had the same amount of support among the Germans as did Trump among the Republicans. At the time, the President Paul von Hindenburg. had to choose a Prime Minister,,( Chancellor as it was called in Germany) from the crowd of politicians who had just competed in an election..He choose Hitler because it seems that he would bring the most stability to a torn country..January 30, 1933....The rest is history...

Now..Hillary is a very strong leader. She has most of the support from the establishment and a majority of the population.. Although Trump still has that support among his base, Hillary is the lone opponent not a field of many as was the Republican Primary. Yes, the media wants a "horse race" , but this is no race of horses. This is an election where most see Trump for what he is. There is a fear that Trump will win like in 2000 or back in the early 30s in Germany. Perhaps that fear is real..but, that outcome is impossible if we all vote the way we think. The great majority of the population is totally against Trump to be President of the United States. If that majority votes, Trump cannot win..no matter what the media says...

This is not the republican primary or Germany in the early 30s. Trump's support is a minority, and Hillary's support is a very strong majority.. (oh, and the other two candidates from minor parties..who I will not name.will not affect this election..can they can go to hell !!!! )_

Cruz and Mc Cain have both defined how important the senate elections are.

With Republican control of senate, all of Hillary's judge appointees will not even be voted on. Two past candidates for President of the U.S. are stating what their ideas are. No mistake, this is what they will do. Mc Connell is proud of his obstruction of the Garland nominee. If we get a majority, then Mc Connell will not have that total power. It is no mistake that this has been talked about now... Then if it happens, they, the Republicans can say, well this was brought up "before the election. You knew what was going to happen"..But it was presented in this somewhat obscure way.at the end of the election cycle, while other events were happening...

So..GOTV to take the senate. If we take the Senate, instead of total deadlock on court appointees, Hillary will be able to appoint judges, just like other presidents have done. .(except this last Obama appointee) We must take the senate, because they are telling us what they are going to do now. The Republicans are talking about total obstruction of all court appointees that Hillary will make. That is my opinion for what it is worth...

Remember this, in talking about Trump ,and his groping, stories have been varified by others.

So, in the new story, Kristin Anderson says she was groped by Trump. But before the story became published, they got the story verified by others. It is the same for the NY Times stories. Verified by several others that these experiences happened and that the victim told other people years ago. These stories couldn't have been made up..if the verification process is complete..

So, the verification is real, if anyone looks at the complete stories. These stories would not have made it to publication if there were not many or several other sources for the same story. That is, in Kristin Anderson's case, she told others about Trump's groping at about the time that groping happened and those others, did indeed verify that Kristin did tell them years ago.

The Atlantic, NY Times and other major sources know how to check to see if stories are, "made up." That is what reporters do. So, the likelihood that these are, "made up" ..as Trump says... is nil almost not possible...

If someone repeats this, in support of Trump..then tell them about verification, and ask them to read the whole story to see the truth...Now some don't care what he did, but some will indeed turn away and not vote for him or not vote at all..This does make people puke..

here is a link to the original story at the Washington Post:

Every once in a while..a hunch ...turns out to be correct..

This was posted in the "Media Group"...on September 6, about a month ago...Tues, 7:41 am
It was a lucky hunch...
_______________________________________________________________________________

Prediction..In October the MSM will shift very strongly in favor of Hillary...

Very strong shift in favor of Hillary in ways that we never could have expected.

MSM will report stuff on Trump that it was holding back..

Why?...after a certain date, the money for the commercials and all around advertising has been allocated and dolled out to the MSM...and then this one fact will become clear...

....Those that control the MSM, big media groups...do not want Trump as President of the U.S.A......

after they get their money...and it is in the bank....
......then.. the MSM will show how much it does not want Trump...first the money in the bank, then....the good of the U.S.A. comes next.....

...hit the link below..................thank you for reading this.....
