According to a recent Suffolk University Poll Hillary Clinton has a commanding lead of 9 points in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. According to an Axiom Strategies poll, Donald Trump is leading in Pennsylvania by 23 points.
The answer to that question might be identified in the Clinton/Kaine rally held today (This one oddly not mentioned by the mainstream broadcast media):
(link) – Dozens showed up to see Clinton-Kaine in Pennsylvania.
Don’t say we didn’t previously predict this EXACT SCENARIO was coming as soon as the Clinton Convention was over.
:::YAWN:::
After Reuters polling showed a 17 point (two week) swing to benefit Donald Trump something urgently needed to be changed.
(Via Reuters) […] In a presidential campaign notable for its negativity, the option of “Neither” candidate appears to be an appealing alternative, at least to participants in the Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
Many voters on both sides have been ambivalent in their support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump, complicating the task of the pollsters trying to track the race.
That sentiment may help explain an apparent skew that recently emerged in the Reuters/Ipsos poll results. Given the choice, a relatively large group of voters opted for “Neither/Other” candidate compared with other major polls, leading to an under reporting of several percentage points for one or other of the two major contenders at times in the race.
A good breakdown of a specific DNC convention speaker Jennifer Lim at The Intercept, outlines what we have been discussing for over four years. Wall Street, via The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Tom Donohue President) will support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
Jennifer Lim (pictured below left) was presented to the DNC Convention audience as the co-founder of Republican women for Hillary. What the DNC did not tell the audience was Lim’s day job as a lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
As we continually stated throughout the GOP primary race, if Donald Trump was able to secure the GOP nomination the UniParty globalist financiers would support Hillary Clinton.
(Intercept) […] the latest indication that the U.S. big-business community may be preparing to back Hillary Clinton, which would be a truly tectonic shift.
PHILADELPHIA — Four million more people tuned in to see Donald Trump accept the republican nomination than watched Hillary Clinton accept the democrat nomination.
[…] According to Nielsen Media Research data published Friday, an estimated 27.8 million people watched Hillary Clinton address the delegates in the Wells Fargo Center on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
Update at bottom: *Note* my sincere apologies, I thought most people were already familiar with this story. However, it has been brought to my attention that a massive number of people had no idea about this when it took place (2012 – 2015). So additional information and context added at the bottom. /SDWhen you read this, sip slowly, dust off the way-back machine, and think about those who have surfaced visibly to support Hillary Clinton. Including “retired” U.S. General John Allen (retired in 2012), who was previously brought out of retirement to lead President Obama’s fight against ISIS in 2014.
In order to understand the scope of the relationships it takes understanding the full back story. Stay with it….
The question posed to the Tree House back in 2014 was: Why is the White House selecting a retired General John Allen, instead of a current commanding officer to lead Obama’s anti-ISIS efforts?
Deep breath: This White House uses personal leverage to their advantage like no other before it. Example #1: Where’s Bowe Bergdahl? Example #2: What ever happened to Ahmed Abu Khattala the captured head of the Benghazi attack ?
See… you had to think about it. This White House swamps us so much we forget to follow-up…..
There was a risk to the political optics of fighting ISIS. A terrorist enemy the White House refused to acknowledge, and previously called the “JV Team”. Consequently, the administration needed a competent “General” President Obama and Denis McDonough could control, rely upon, and quite possibly bypass the Pentagon.
So who did the White House leverage in 2014?
Yeah, General John Allen.
Open Discussion Thread for anything surrounding the DNC Philadelphia Convention. Hillary Clinton has been working toward this campaign night for 16 consecutive years:
We are not, repeat NOT, going to exhaust unnecessary energy in the next 10 days to deconstruct the insufferably predictable media-agenda-polls that are looming on the near horizon.
The corporations who have a vested interest in manufacturing the Potemkin village have their collected pollsters armed with fresh paint to create the optics of a “historic” surge in polling upon the conclusion of the Democrat National Party Convention in Philadelphia.
This paint job has been planned for weeks, if not months.
You can count on a manufactured corporate-media pretense to deliver a carefully scripted narrative giving Hillary Clinton a post convention bounce around 10 to 15 points (+/- 3).
What’s coming is so intensely predictable, that if they don’t do it – we’ll actually eat a plain rice cake.
There may be a few scientific polling outcomes that are not connected to the tentacles of the media; we’ll look for those.
However, polling from: CNN/ORC (Turner), ABC (Disney), NBC (Mark Murray), Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch), Monmouth (Patrick Murray), FOX News (Daron Shaw), Reuters, CBS (David Rhodes), and PPP (Happy Liberals), are g-u–a-r-a-n-t-e-e-d to be manufactured for maximum political value. ie. Painting the Potemkin Village. (more…)
Today is the final day for the Democrat Coronation of Hillary Clinton. Candidate Donald Trump released the following campaign message:
At Hillary Clinton’s convention this week, Democrats have been speaking about a world that doesn’t exist. A world where America has full employment, where there’s no such thing as radical Islamic terrorism, where the border is totally secured, and where thousands of innocent Americans have not suffered from rising crime in cities like Baltimore and Chicago.
In the Democrats’ fantasy world, there is no problem with Hillary Clinton maintaining an illegal, exposed server full of classified information that could have been hacked by any foreign enemy, and in which Hillary Clinton risked prison time to delete 33,000 emails that were simply about yoga and wedding planning. In this world, there is no Hillary Clinton disaster in Syria, Libya and Egypt, ISIS doesn’t merit a mention, Iran isn’t on the path to nukes, convention stages don’t need American flags, and our great men and women of law enforcement, our police, do not need to be honored. (more…)
Hillary Clinton faces a general election problem almost identical to the problem Ted Cruz faced in the 2016 republican primary: ‘the need to avoid personal exposure‘.
Any random visibility of Hillary Clinton leads to an increased acceptance that she is fundamentally inauthentic. More exposure leads to diminished support. In essence, ‘who‘ Hillary Clinton is becomes the greatest risk to her own candidacy. It’s a weird dynamic.
As a direct consequence the campaign staff, and those who are charged with retention of a false image, cannot allow Hillary Clinton to face situations where she (they) are not in full control of the optics and outcomes. Today, when faced with questions about Hillary’s lack of accessibility by the media the campaign manager laughed off any possibility:
(The Hill) […] Speaking at a luncheon hosted by The Wall Street Journal, campaign manager Robby Mook (above right) burst out laughing when asked if Clinton would hold court with members of the media before Election Day.
Day #3 and the DNC is working overtime to control the optics of a divided Democrat National Convention in Philadelphia. The latest efforts are some of the most ridiculous.
In an effort to keep the Bernie Sanders contingent in the dark, the convention handlers turn out the lights on a large portion of the attending delegation:
Team Bernie fights back by using their own cell phones to declare their visibility: (more…)
