Rasmussen is considered a “right-leaning” polling firm the same way PPP is considered “left-leaning”.  Consequently all data, especially this year, should be taken with a grain of salt.   Raw data -when honestly collected- is of value; but the espoused interpretations of that data should be viewed skeptically regardless of delivery vehicle.

Today Rasmussen’s weekly tracking poll finds Donald Trump (40%) slightly ahead of Hillary Clinton (39%) and easily within the margin of error (+/- 3).  Of additional interest, Rasmussen joins with a growing number of other data sources to seek the answer to the possibly hidden Trump voter (ie. the monster vote).

By surveying “likely voters” about their willingness to share who they are voting for, Rasmussen discovers 25% of Independent voters are not willing to tell others who they are voting for.   17% of Republican likely voters are also unwilling; only 10% of Democrat voters feel the same way. (more…)

Judicial Watch was one of the first organizations to discover the hidden use of Hillary Clinton’s private email account to keep activity hidden from public review.

As a consequence of a long standing Judicial Watch FIOA court battle over State Department documents relating to the private email and private server, Judicial Watch requested to depose Secretary Clinton to answer questions.

The request for direct deposition was denied by the court, choosing instead to first order questions be asked/answered in writing.  Whereby: on August 19, U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan granted Judicial Watch further discovery on the Clinton email matter and ordered Secretary Hillary Clinton to answer the questions “by no later than thirty days thereafter….”

Under federal court rules, Judicial Watch was limited to twenty-five questions.  Today Judicial Watch submitted the questions, starting the 30 day clock for responses.

According to media reports, some of the FBI recovered emails from their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s records have a relationship to the events in/around the Benghazi Libya attack on Sept. 11th 2012.

(WASHINGTON)— The State Department says about 30 emails involving the 2012 attack on U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, are among the thousands of Hillary Clinton emails recovered during the FBI’s recently closed investigation into her use of a private server.

Government lawyers told U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta Tuesday that an undetermined number of the emails among the 30 were not included in the 55,000 pages previously provided by Clinton to the State Department. The agency said it would need until the end of September to review the emails and redact potentially classified information before they are released.  (read more)

Unfortunately, there is a certain kind of predictability with this latest news release.  Those of you familiar with the full Benghazi Brief, will remember the congressional oversight responsibilities within the Congressional Intelligence Gang of Eight.

It’s not just Hillary Clinton that wants this stuff quiet, it is also Republicans in congress.

Typical of the Ted Cruz mindset, a Colorado Republican activist and Ted Cruz Supporter, Regina Thomson, is coordinating attack ads against Donald Trump:

Ann Coulter is interviewed by Alan Greenspan’s wife on MSNBC. The key topic is immigration and how to deal with the illegal aliens currently in the U.S.:

RELATED – Notably, U.S.-born Hispanics’ views of the candidates are similar to those of the larger population of national adults. Forty-three percent of U.S.-born Hispanics and 44% of national adults view Clinton favorably. Twenty-nine percent of U.S.-born Hispanics view Trump favorably, while his favorability is 34% among national adults.

Therefore, Clinton owes a lot of her overall image advantage among Hispanics to those born outside the U.S. (link)

Everything is survivable until it has the potential to impact a Clinton:

“After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband. Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy,”

Just like Dr. Drew Pinsky, Huffington Post writer/author, David Seamon, finds out what happens if you discuss Hillary Clinton’s health.  You get the Clinton scrub.

“I’m not clumsy or accident prone”…

LOL, cute…. As if that’ll help ya kid. Polonium-210 is a colorless and odorless addition to the pesky toothbrush of the non-compliant, comrade citizen.

[…] We’re in unprecedented, unchartered territory,” said Florida Chamber president and CEO Mark Wilson. “Nobody’s been polling these people, nobody’s been marketing to these people.”….

The “Monster Vote“ is the name attributed to the largest voting bloc in U.S. history.  The voters who have/had given up on the political process because it seemed futile to vote for a rigged system where nothing ever changes.  –Outlined Here–

However, we first noted the surfacing of the Monster Vote in relation to the political outsider Donald Trump toward the end of 2015.  It was, and is, a rather controversial theorem because the voting bloc would make all media polling completely irrelevant.

Throughout the latter part of 2015 and into the first quarter of 2016 we put our research antenna on high alert to see if the indications were real.  We paid a statistician to model the data we collected. We made predictions which, if the bloc was accurate, would stun the professional political class. (more…)

This is a little bit funny and a little bit perplexing. Many might point to this as evidence of a deteriorating health condition.

Hillary Clinton is the first and only nominee for President who never held a press conference during the entire Democrat primary race. Yet, somehow she still won the Democrat presidential nomination. Quite a remarkable feat considering the lack of engagement. Then again, she appears to have multiple advocates in the media running cover.

Additionally interesting is that Secretary Clinton appears to be following the same strategy, and even, well, ‘stunningly‘, expanding the intentional lack of engagement, for the general election.  Check this out… (more…)

In a landmark speech widely touted by CNN punditry as: the greatest oration by a Presidential candidate since Stephen A Douglas, Secretary Clinton spoke eloquently toward the greatest aspirations of America.  …As interpreted though a life of experience with her friend and mentor Senator Robert C Byrd.
