But, but, but....

On the plus side for Republicans, 538 has an interesting article about how their chances of retaining the Senate appears to have improved:


Senate Update: Clinton Is Surging, But Down-Ballot Democrats Are Losing Ground | FiveThirtyEight


It is stated that there is a theory that, when voters feel confident that one party will win the Presidency (Democrat in this case), then they feel more comfortable 'splitting the ticket' and voting for the other party for House and Senate, to keep a balance. It is termed "anticipatory balancing".


On the other hand, it is noted that the Senate races may well be lagging behind, poll-wise, and that the Democrats chances would increase as of November 8th.

Officer Clark graduated and got his BA from FAU. It's located in lovely Boca Raton, Florida and when I lived there I actually found a cheap apartment near the El Rio canal near the campus. I served on the student government senate while I was enrolled there.

Don't listen to the noise from mainstream media. For every negative attack on trump's character remember Hillary has used her power to do much worse.

His national poll numbers have seemed to go the way of the dodo...which is apt.

Yes, when Breitbart asked people at his rallys, they overwhelmingly said they support Trump.

That, and yard signs....

rassmussen: 4-way trump +2

emmerson: 4-way trump +1

that seems to be it.

I had reported previously that, of Mr. Trumps five children, three were for him, two against. The names were not identified.


As of yesterday, four of his children have gone on record as supporting the father they call Mr. Trump. One wife or perhaps ex-wife (it is unclear) is likewise supporting him, while the other two are not.


It is unknown which Trump child will vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton. If I were to speculate, I would say Tiffany. I noted that at the second debate she was not allowed to file in with the three eldest children. I imagine she was hurt by this slight.

The full results from Sunday night’s debate are in, and Donald Trump has come from behind to take the lead over Hillary Clinton.

The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday.

Eighty-four percent (84%) now say they are certain how they will vote in this year’s presidential election, and among these voters, Trump posts a 49% to 46% lead over Clinton. Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it’s Clinton 40%, Trump 37%, Johnson 19% and Stein four percent (4%).
