The Iowa State Fair has a booth where attendees are given the opportunity to cast their vote on the 2016 presidential race by placing a corn kernel in a jar.

The poll is obviously unscientific; however, nor is it manipulated by the media, it simply is an opportunity for fair goers to show who they are supporting in the upcoming presidential race.

The fair is in day #5 and 43,702 people have visited the WHO TV Channel 13 News Booth to register their opinion. Here are the results so far:

Candidate Donald Trump is holding an actual 12 point lead (56% -vs- 44%) with actual people.  43,702 actual people.  [Trump 24,284 votes, Clinton 19,418 votes]  Quite a difference from the media polling, huh.

Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence spoke Wednesday in Henderson Nevada at a campaign rally. The Indiana governor held a town hall-style event at the Henderson Convention Center:

Prior to a Town Hall event with Sean Hannity in Milwaukee Wisconsin Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt recorded a brief interview with candidate Donald Trump. Behind the scenes video included:

Donald Trump continues to give local media close access during each campaign event.  In many ways this is another method to work around the ‘national’ corporate media.

These interviews don’t get as much national attention, however they are effective with the local constituencies.  WKBT Wisconsin:

EPIC: “Once you get on the train, there ain’t no getting off til the ride’s over” !!

Apparently no-one was paying attention to THIS PART:

[…] “When we talk about the insider, who are we talking about? It’s the comfortable politicians looking out for their own interests. It’s the lobbyists who know how to insert that perfect loophole into every bill. It’s the financial industry that knows how to regulate their competition out of existence. The insiders also include the media executives, anchors and journalists in Washington, Los Angeles, and New York City, who are part of the same failed status quo and want nothing to change.

Every day you pick up a newspaper, or turn on the nightly news, and you hear about some self-interest banker or some discredited Washington insider says they oppose our campaign. Or some encrusted old politician says they oppose our campaign. Or some big time lobbyist says they oppose our campaign.

I wear their opposition as a badge of honor. Because it means I am fighting for REAL change, not just partisan change. I am fighting – all of us across the country are fighting – for peaceful regime change in our own country. The media-donor-political complex that’s bled this country dry has to be replaced with a new government of, by and for the people.

Last night, speaking in West Bend Wisconsin, candidate Donald Trump gave an epic speech taking head-on all adverse interests.

[…]  I am running to listen to your voice, to hear your cries for help. The quiet voices in our society, not the loudest demonstrators, need to have their demands heard…

Here’s the video and transcript:

“It’s so great to be here tonight. I am honored to also be joined this evening by Governor Scott Walker, Chairman Reince Priebus, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

We are at a decisive moment in this election. (more…)

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 †

Governor Rick Perry appeared on the insufferable CNN Jake Tapper show earlier today.  Of course what would the CNN propaganda be worth if Tapper didn’t immediately begin by targeting Perry to defend the “faux-controversial” comments about Khizr Khan…. etc.

However, things didn’t exactly go as planned.  Please note the first response from Tapper at 00:46 “well, well, I don’t think anyone is saying he shouldn’t be criticized“… Watch:

Tapper:  “well, well, I don’t think anyone is saying he shouldn’t be criticized”…

Perry: “well, then what’s the conversation then”?…

Exactly.  If no-one is saying Khan can’t be criticized, then what’s the controversy?  The entire manufactured controversy centered around any criticism of Khizr Khan being ‘out-of-bounds’.

Epic.  Common Sense.
