  1. Interesting anecdotal evidence.

    Behind the Polls: The Message in a Longtime Conservative Tilting Away From Trump, Toward Clinton

    " an exploration of the electorate with a dozen voters in Aurora, Colo., in January 2015. One person stood out: Jennifer Howard, a conservative, middle-class Republican in her mid-forties who works in accounting. She has voted for the past four GOP presidential nominees."

    1. Sounds like evidence of a better late than never a reaction against dumb and crazy by traditional white suburban Republicans. Encouraging.  And about time since Trump isn't so much a departure from the 21st century GOP's policies, though he departs from some in favor of faux populism, as he is the post-southern strategy (dialed up to 11 post-Obama) GOP Id unleashed.

  2. So, Paul Manafort and Rick Davis (R – Russia/Ukraine), two top Trump campaign officials, have left the Trump campaign amidst serious allegations of being paid handsomely for undercover pro-Russian lobbying that was not reported as required by a law established in 1938.  I don't usually like using this argument, but can you imagine the unending media firestorm if this had happened on the Clinton campaign?

    1. Maybe they're going to defect to Moscow.

      As for your question re:  response if someone at Camp Clinton was accused of working for the Russians, you know what they would say:  LOCK HER UP!

       

  3. Debbie Wassermann Schultz and Tim Canova face off Aug. 30 in a Democratic primary. I had been mildly rooting for Canova because Debbie has failed her Wasserman Test (sorry) by leaning too far to Hillary in a position where she should be neutral.

    But it turns out Canova is one of these rah-rah Bini Netanyahu, screw you Obama types who raged against the deal to rein in Iran's nuclear ambitions,  After it passed, he started tap dancing about whether he would have voted for it (sure, if the moon is in the seventh house) or against it (of course, if Jupiter aligns with Mars. )  Now, he says since it has passed, he's for it with strict scrutiny.   Polifact gave him a half-flip for his constantly changing positions.  Nuts to Canova, I'm with her.   At least you know where Wasserman Schultz stands.   And no friend of Netanyahu is a friend of mine.
