CNN Shows 6 Ways Donald Trump Could Win 270 Electoral Votes

ITS STILL A LONG SHOT, BUT THERE IS MUCH MORE OF A SHOT TODAY THAN THERE WAS 2 WEEKS AGO …

CNN is reporting that there are several ways that Donald Trump could reach the magical number of 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. Two weeks ago there was seemingly no chance that Trump could win. Then came the reports of the insane Obamacare premium increases and then came the news that the FBI was reopening the Hillary Clinton private server/email investigation as emails pertaining to the case were found on the laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner, under investigation for sexting with a minor. Then the added investigation of the Clinton Foundation. The polls are trending toward Donald Trump, however, is it too little, too late? We shall see this Tuesday.

Donald Trump’s path to 270 electoral votes remains precarious — but with some breaks, he can get there.
Trump’s campaign has made clear exactly what its targets are. It is spending $25 million on TV ads in the final week of the campaign in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Those ad buys are based on the assumption that Trump doesn’t need extra help to keep Arizona, Georgia, Utah, Texas or any other traditionally red state in the Republican column Trump starts with four must-wins: Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Iowa.
Those — plus making sure he doesn’t surrender other typically Republican states, and winning the one electoral vote that can come from Maine’s Second Congressional District — get Trump to 260 electoral votes. (read more)

Black Turnout Falls in Early Voting, This Does not Look Good for Hillary Clinton

WHO HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT BLACK TURNOUT TO VOTE WOULD BE THE SAME FOR HILLARY AS IT WAS FOR BARACK OBAMA?

The NY Times is reporting that African-Americans are not showing up to the polls in early voting in large numbers like they have in the past. Wow, what a shocker!!! Okay, unless you were a Hillary Clinton “yes” minion, an “always” Hillary voter or a member of the liberal media, no one in their right mind could honestly say that Hillary Clinton would garner the same number of the black vote as did Barack Obama in 2008 or 2012. To make such a comment would be ignorant. The dishonest media created polling models based around the fact that the black vote would support Hillary like they did Obama. Really, is that racist? Now Bill Clinton may have been the first black president, Hillary is far from it. How could anyone think that blacks would not show up in greater numbers for one of their own than for an old, tired white woman? Needless to say, her dishonest actions have also probably caused many just to stay home and sit this one out. Although early voting is not a predictor of a race, Democrats have always crowed that they were the kings of early voting. Hmm, this time, not so much.

Does this mean that Trump will get a greater percentage of the black vote than past GOP presidential candidates, maybe. He has made a concerted effort for their vote with the promise of school vouchers and a New deal. However, even if Trump gets the same percentage, the volume of the vote is not going to be there for Hillary.

More bad news for Hillary

African-Americans are failing to vote at the robust levels they did four years ago in several states that could help decide the presidential election, creating a vexing problem for Hillary Clinton as she clings to a deteriorating lead over Donald J. Trump with Election Day just a week away.

As tens of millions of Americans cast ballots in what will be the largest-ever mobilization of early voters in a presidential election, the numbers have started to point toward a slump that many Democrats feared might materialize without the nation’s first black president on the ticket.

The reasons for the decline appear to be both political and logistical, with lower voter enthusiasm and newly enacted impediments to voting at play. In North Carolina, where a federal appeals court accused Republicans of an “almost surgical” assault on black turnout and Republican-run election boards curtailed early-voting sites, black turnout is down 16 percent. White turnout, however, is up 15 percent. Democrats are planning an aggressive final push, including a visit by President Obama to the state on Wednesday.

But in Florida, which extended early voting after long lines left some voters waiting for hours in 2012, African-Americans’ share of the electorate that has gone to the polls in person so far has decreased, to 15 percent today from 25 percent four years ago.

The problems for Democrats do not end there. In Ohio, which also cut back its early voting, voter participation in the heavily Democratic areas near Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo has been down, though the Clinton campaign said it was encouraged by a busy day on Sunday when African-American churches led voter drives across the state.

Note: You can probably add the youth vote as not showing up as well. They backed Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primary and in the wake of the Wikileaks emails that all but shows their candidate was screwed over by Team Hillary, the DNC and the media, watch for them to stay home too.

Doug Schoen: I am Reassessing my support for Hillary Clinton … I am Not Voting for Hillary Clinton

ONE HAS TO WONDER HOW MANY HONEST THINKING DEMOCRATS, MODERATES AND MIDDLE OF THE ROAD INDEPENDENTS ARE NOT SAYING THE SAME THING?

Yesterday we reported on this and we are again so today because of its importance in such a close presidential race. Longtime Democratic strategist and pollster Doug Schoen announced Sunday that he will no longer be able to support Hillary Clinton for president. Schoen did this because he is putting country ahead of party and a single candidate. I have longed disagreed with Doug Schoen; however, respected him. This is an example of why. I to believe, like Schoen, never should we elect an individual of any party who would simply through the country into chaos and a “constitutional” crisis. Sadly, the Democrat party did just that as they cooked a Democrat primary as seen by the Wikileaks emails as Team Clinton, the DNC and the MSM all colluded against Bernie Sanders. A vote for Hillary Clinton was always a risky vote as one never knew what scandal would blow up again, no matter how hard the Obama DOJ, FBI and Democrat media complex tried to cover for her.

In an op-ed in the Hill, Schoen said that he believed the United States could face a “constitutional crisis” if Clinton is elected president due to the looming FBI investigation into her private email server and the email practices of her aides.

“I say this because regardless of what Secretary Clinton did or didn’t do or what her aide, Huma Abedin, did or didn’t do or even what Anthony Weiner did or didn’t do, I am now convinced that we will be facing the very real possibility of a constitutional crisis with many dimensions and deleterious consequences should Secretary Clinton win the election,” Schoen wrote.

The question that remains is just how many Democrat voters are also having a change of conscience and feel this is just a scandal too far? How many Independents have just had enough? Will the polls reflect it or will the final poll be in the election vote count? With just one week to go, we shall see what the answer truly is.

The Hill:

I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life — not just political, but also personal — last night.

During my weekly show on the “Fox Report” hosted by Harris Faulkner with Pat Caddell and John LeBoutillier, I indicated that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for me to vote for Hillary Clinton on November 8.

Why did I say this?

Not for any small reason.

FBI Director James Comey’s decision to make public the fact that more emails potentially pertinent to the Clinton probe had been found on Anthony Weiner’s computer changes the impact of this election on the future of the country.

I say this because regardless of what Secretary Clinton did or didn’t do or what her aide, Huma Abedin, did or didn’t do or even what Anthony Weiner did or didn’t do, I am now convinced that we will be facing the very real possibility of a constitutional crisis with many dimensions and deleterious consequences should Secretary Clinton win the election.

In the best case scenario, there will be at the very least a criminal investigation of President-elect Clinton. And there will be a criminal investigation of Huma Abedin, which is apparently ongoing. Furthermore, there will be potential investigations into the actions of the Justice Department and most of all the FBI and its director, James Comey.

Newt Gingrich BLASTS Megyn Kelly Over Her Comments about Donald Trump: ‘You Are Fascinated with Sex!’ (VIDEO)

THIS IS THE REASON WHY I DON’T WATCH MEGYN KELLY ANYMORE … FAIR AND BALANCED, EH?

Take a look at the VIDEO below and you will understand why Megyn Kelly’s ratings have dropped and why many on the right don’t watch her any more. Megyn Kelly got blasted last night by Newt Gingrich because of her bias against Donald Trump. After she called Trump a sexual predator, Gingrich confronted her in daring her to say that Bill Clinton was a sexual predator was well, but she didn’t. Hmm, doesn’t that speak volumes. Gingrich said to Kelly, ”you are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy.” What a smug, smart ass and vile individual she has become. Good job Megyn, you have probably destroyed your career. BTW, Fox News is now part of the establishment media. Kelly ended the interview by making the smart ass comment, “we are going to have to leave it at that and you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them Mr. Speaker.” Wow, really Megyn. As Legal Insurrection opines, it is exactly this type pf bias media and piling on of Trump that the American public has grown tired of and is the wild card in the 2016 election. Will America’s discontent finally be reflected in an election?

“I’m sick and tired of people like you using inflammatory language that is not true,” he said about her characterization of Donald Trump as a potential “sexual predator.”

“Do you want me to go back to the tapes of your show recently?” he raged. “You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy.”

Real Clear Politics:

NEWT GINGRICH: Let me point out something to you: The three major networks [NBC, ABC, CBS] spent 23 minutes attacking Donald Trump that night, and 57 seconds on Hillary Clinton’s secret speches. You don’t think that is a scale of bias worthy of Pravda?

MEGYN KELLY: If Trump is a sexual predator, that is–

GINGRICH: He’s not a sexual predator. You can’t say that. You could not defend that statement.

KELLY: I have not taken a position on it.

GINGRICH: I’m sick and tired of people like you using inflammatory language that is not true.

KELLY: Excuse me, Mr. Speaker, you have no idea whether it is true or not. What we know–

GINGRICH: Neither do you.

KELLY: I’m not taking a position on it.

GINGRICH: Yes you are. When you used the words, you took a position. It is very unfair of you to do that, Megyn.

KELLY: Incorrect.

GINGRICH: That is exactly the bias people are sick of.

KELLY: I think that your defensiveness on this speaks volumes, sir… What I said if if Trump is a sexual predator, than it is a big story. And what we saw on that tape was Trump himself saying he liked to grab women by the genitals, and kiss them against their will. Then we saw ten women come forward after he denied it at a debate… He denies it all, which is his right. We don’t know what the truth is. My point to you is, as a media story, we don’t get to say the ten women are liars. We have to cover that story.

GINGRICH: So it took 23 minutes for the networks to cover that story, and Hillary Clinton had a secret speech in Brazil to a bank that pays her $225,000 saying that her dream is an open border where 600 million people could come to America, that is not worth covering.

Do you want me to go back to the tapes of your show recently. You are fasctinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy.

KELLY: Me, really?

GINGRICH: That’s what I get out of watching you tonight.

KELLY: I’m not fascinated by sex, by I am fascinated by the protection of women and what we’re getting in the Oval Office.

GINGRICH: That’s why we’re going to send Bill Clinton back to the East Wing, because you are worried about a sexual predator… Do you want to comment on whether the Clinton ticket has a relationship to a sexual predator?

KELLY: We on ‘The Kelly File’ have covered that story as well, sir.

GINGRICH: I want to hear you say the word. Say Bill Clinton is a sexual predator. I dare you.

KELLY: Mr. Speaker, we have covered that. We on ‘The Kelly File’ have covered the Bill Clinton story as well. We’ve hosted Kathleen Willey… But he is not on the ticket.
