An intelligent and funny interview. Only one thing, the average is a bad number. Take the median, and the standard deviation. Lots of white people are hurting.
Donald Trump thinks SNL is rigging the election and should be canceled by David Goldman @DavidGoldmanCNN Donald Trump thinks that even "Saturday Night Live" is part of a media conspiracy to bring down his presidential candidacy... http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/16/media/donald-trump-snl/index.html
Fox News Poll: The most incredible number in the latest Fox News poll The Fox News poll released Thursday night had a lot of bad news for Donald Trump. He is now down seven points against Hillary Clinton, 45 percent to 38 percent. And after a terrible two weeks in which he spent several days attacking a former Miss Universe, then saw the release of a “hot mic” recording in which he bragged about groping women, then spent several days attacking Republicans who distanced themselves from him over the video of him bragging about groping, Trump has lost significant ground among women. Fox asked voters whether the two candidates were “very qualified,” “somewhat qualified,” “not very qualified” or “not at all” qualified to be president. Forty-nine percent said Trump was “not at all” qualified to be president. In other words, half of all American voters believe Trump has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office. That is a devastating number. Another 7 percent say he is “not very” qualified, so overall 56 percent of Americans believe he is not qualified to be president, compared to just 31 percent who say that about Clinton. Forty-nine percent said Trump was “not at all” qualified to be president. In other words, half of all American voters believe Trump has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office. That is a devastating number. Now those numbers are not broken down by state, so it is possible that in states where Trump is competitive a smaller fraction of the electorate considers him unqualified. And with third party candidates pulling 10 percent of the vote, he only needs a plurality to win. But still, that is a tough ceiling to break through. It appears that unless some Americans plan to pull the lever for a candidate they believe in unqualified for the job, Trump is going to have a hard time winning the White House.
The man who couldn't take a joke: https://www.thestar.com/entertainme...rtrayal-of-him-was-unfunny-and-a-hit-job.html
His response to these charges has been surprisingly — and perhaps, revealingly — callow. He has mocked, whined, chided, bemoaned and belittled. It’s as if the man is on a mission to demonstrate to voters the staggering magnitude of his social vulgarity and emotional ineptitude. He has dispensed with all semblances of wanting to appear presidential and embraced what seems to be most natural to him: acting like a pig. Furthermore, everything is rigged against him, from the media to the election itself. He’s threatening to sue The New York Times. He says he and Clinton should take a drug test before the next debate. These are the ravings of a lunatic. Trump is in fact the logical extension of toxic masculinity and ambient misogyny. He is the logical extension of rampant racism. He is the logical extension of wealth worship. He is the logical extension of pervasive anti-intellectualism. Trump is the logical extension of the worst of America. With him you get a man who believes himself superior in every way: through the gift of fortune and the happenstance of chromosomes. He believes the rules simply don’t apply. Not rules that govern the sovereignty of another’s body, not rules that dictate decorousness. And the Republican Party was just the right place for him to park himself. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/17/o...-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=0
Examples of Republican hypocrisy: If we win the presidency, our Supreme Court nominees should be confirmed. When you win the presidency, we will block you every turn. If Trump wins, the election is legitimate and the people have SPOKEN. If Hillary wins, it must be RIGGED. Donald Trump is accused of forcing himself on over ten women. STICK TO THE ISSUES. Bill Clinton accused of misconduct by 4 women. His wife should be disqualified from office. Hillary Clinton has not directly mentioned any of Trump's accusers. She need to stop distracting from real issues. Trump has a press conference with 4 of Bill Clinton's accusers, gives them front row seats to the debate, and mentions them at a debate. Great job taking the gloves off president Trump. Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (has 5 kids with 3 wives and has cheated on his wives). Elect him. Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. JAIL HER. 2 Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem. Immigrants don't pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn't pay taxes. He's a business genius. Independent fact checkers found Trump is likely the least truthful candidate in the history of politics. He tells it like it is. Hillary is statistically more truthful than most politicians according to fact checkers. She is the most untrustworthy person ever. Hillary's foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people (average amount is 75%). CROOKED. Trumps foundation paid off his debts, bought paintings of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations for a fake university while using less than 5% of funds for charity (and he got shut down by NY State). So savvy... Put him in the white house. Trump made 4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same "small loans" he received would be worth $12 billion today... without a trail of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits and burned small business owners. He's a real business whiz. Hillary took a loss of $700k. She's a criminal. Trump is the first candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns, and took a billion dollar loss in 1 year. Genius. Hillary releases 40 years of taxes. Corrupt. Trump denies saying things (on the record) he actually said (on the record), he's just telling it like it is.
I love the story about Hillary's visit to Iraq. The team escorting her code named the helicopter detailed for her transport as ...the broomstick.
It's not only Trump: Mayor on hotseat for racist Facebook posts about Obama is out 1 / 21 CBS News cbsnews (hidden byline)4 hrs ago © WHP-TV charles-wasko.jpg WEST YORK, Pa. -- The town council on Monday voted to accept the resignation of the Republican mayor after an uproar over racist posts on his Facebook page, including two depicting apes with captions referring to President Obama and his family. One image of a wagon full of orangutans referred to “moving day” at the White House. Another referred to lynching. The West York borough council last week voted to censure Mayor Charles Wasko, who’s white, but had no power to throw him out of office. It voted unanimously Monday to accept his resignation. Democratic Council President Shawn Mauck will take over as mayor. “I think Mayor Wasko missed a golden opportunity,” Mauck said. “He could have come out and apologized, and that would have been a signature move forward.” Mauck told CBS Harrisburg, Pennsylvania affiliate WHP-TV, “I don’t think he’s taken his position seriously from Day One.” The station notes that, while reading the motion to remove Wasko from office, Maujck remarked, “Sadly, West York lately has been known primarily for one thing, what residents call ‘their racist mayor.”’ Screenshot shows image posted In June 2016 to Facebook account of then-Mayor Charles Wasko, of West York, Pennsylvania © Provided by CBS Interactive Inc.

But in an interview this month with Harrisburg TV station WHTM he also said: “The racist stuff, yeah. I’ll admit I did that, and I don’t care what people label me as.” He added that he did not regret the posts referencing Mr. Obama, the nation’s first black president... http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ma...osts-about-obama-is-out/ar-AAj5bzz?li=BBnb7Kz
