A little fella dressed up like Donald Trump appeared in the audience tonight at a Trump rally in Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania.   Mr. Trump called him up to the stage:

TEXAS – Fort Worth police say a man accused of kidnapping a six-year-old girl from her home also raped her before she was found.
Police say Edis Moya Alas kidnapped the girl Saturday from her home in southeast Fort Worth. The girl’s father said he noticed the front door was open and the girl was gone about 5 a.m.
Officers say Moya’s relationship to the girl is still unclear and he is not cooperating with the investigation.
Searchers began looking for the girl since she went missing Saturday. She was discovered eight hours later when a man heard screams coming from a wooded area.

Once again it is prudent to remind everyone to ignore media polls.  Instead, focus on what the desperate Clinton campaign is doing, not what the media are trying to portray.
Clinton’s legal team appealed to a federal court to extend the Florida voter registration deadline – which is tomorrow, Tuesday, at 5:00pm.  Currently, it appears the judge has granted a 24 hour extension through Wednesday…

A federal court has extended Florida’s voter registration deadline from Tuesday to 5 p.m. ET Wednesday due to Hurricane Matthew’s interruption of last-minute sign-ups.
The US District Court ruling comes after the Florida Democratic Party sued, seeking an additional week due to the “strong likelihood” many of the state’s voters would be “severely burdened” by the hurricane’s fallout in the upcoming election.

OMG this is too funny.  Stay with it…

Initially I had to wait to debrief on the debate, because unlike all other debates this time I needed to watch it twice, in some segments three times; and look at the expression, the emotion behind the words.
Some of the things Donald Trump mentioned last night flew under the radar. Like when Trump expressed his “disappointment in congress” to uphold some semblance of constitutional oversight against a weaponized executive branch.
I found myself thinking: wow, did he really say that…
Then it all began to make sense.  This is the unchained Trump.  This is the guy, now a candidate for president, expressing why he’s in the race; a position he never actually wanted to get into…. he’s often said he’d be quite happy if someone else were doing it, for the right reasons.  But they don’t… and so he is.
And his family knew it too:

This is the guy, who is genuinely PO’d at congress for letting the executive branch weaponize itself (it’s own cabinet member organizations) against its own citizenry.
This is the guy who said: “I just had to do it”…”I just had to”, letting all those reasons out for the voters to see.  Stunning, and genuinely authentic.  Trump means this stuff, if you watch him say it, you can tell.  Unlike most politicians, you can actually feel his emotion. (more…)

In the latest display of transparent media bias an exchange was captured where CNN is questioning a focus group on the key moments of the debate.
However, unfortunately for CNN, the producers quick cut from the debate video replay and catch the CNN focus group leader prompting a participating audience member on what to say.
The video speaks for itself.  It’s so obvious it’s almost uncomfortable:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
