Hillary Clinton Announces Odd New Platform – No Criminal Records for Prior Presidents…

Under a new program proposed today Hillary Clinton declared she would enact a new executive order so Presidential Candidates did not have to declare their criminal history:

Seems a little self-serving if you ask me.

But, meh… Democrats do have their priorities.

Latino SNL Protest Event Fails to Draw Crowd…

If they had asked Donald Trump to join their protest it would have been YUGE!

(Via The Wrap) The rally to protest Donald Trump hosting “Saturday Night Live” was mostly a bust Wednesday, as only 40 or so people showed up outside 30 Rock.

The National Hispanic Media Coalition and over a dozen other Latino organizations had planned to gather outside the “Saturday Night Live” studio. (more…)

Fox National Poll – Trump Leads Field and Considered Best GOP Candidate To Defeat Hillary Clinton…

*NOTE* Do not for a moment think Fox is moving away from their mandated/scripted narrative to eliminate the Main Street Vulgarian, they’re not.  Remember, the next debate (Nov 10th) is on FNB and Team Trump have already announced intents for the campaign to negotiate debate conditions.  The FNB debate line-up is expected to be announced tomorrow, and Fox Needs Trump.

Within this latest national Fox News Poll (full pdf below) three interesting aspects.  ♦  Donald Trump is leading despite the methodology and breakdown.  ♦  Donald Trump is viewed as most likely to defeat Hillary Clinton.  ♦ Fox News sub-contracted the data collection to two different partisan polling outfits: Anderson Robbins Research (for Democrats), Shaw & Company Research (for Republicans) from November 1-3, 2015:

Via Fox –  Is the race for the Republican nomination finally shaking out?  Four candidates get double-digit backing — and then there’s a steep drop-off to the rest of the field.

The latest Fox News national poll on the 2016 election finds that Donald Trump has the edge, as GOP primary voters by wide margins identify him as the best candidate on the economy, as well as the one most likely to beat presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.  The poll also finds Ben Carson remains within striking distance of Trump.

The Media’s Eye of Sauron Turns To Marco Rubio – Vetting Begins…

As we have stated previously, no-one has ever fully vetted Marco Rubio; which is a problem for the GOPe supporters. Apparently the media are now taking an additional interest. His finances are the least of his historical issues.

NH 5FLORIDA – […]  Sen. Rubio’s past is under fresh scrutiny as he emerges as a top presidential prospect. During last week’s debate, he deflected questions about his financial discipline — most recently, he liquidated a retirement account — but those questions will only intensify.

“For years, I’ve been hearing that his credit cards are a disaster,” Donald Trump said Tuesday during a news conference in New York City.

The Tampa Bay Times asked Rubio’s team for the records in June and again in early October.

A top strategist, Todd Harris, said Tuesday they would be released soon, possibly within the month, but declined to answer questions about what they might contain. (more…)

U.S. Intel: “It Was A Bomb” – Russian MetroJet Likely Brought Down By Explosives…

If this holds up as accurate, this would be the worst terrorist attack since 9/11/01. ISIS is being blamed…

metrojet(Via CNN) The latest U.S. intelligence suggests that the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 was most likely caused by a bomb on the plane planted by ISIS or an ISIS affiliate, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter.

The official stressed that there has not been a formal conclusion reached by the U.S. intelligence community. “There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane,” the official told CNN’s Barbara Starr.

Ireland is suspending all flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, until further notice, according to a statement from the Irish Aviation Authority. The move comes in the wake of concerns an explosive device may have caused Saturday’s crash of a Russian airliner that flew out of the resort city on the Sinai Peninsula. The United Kingdom took similar measures earlier Wednesday. (more…)

Quinnipiac National Presidential Poll – Trump, Carson, Rubio, Cruz Lead Field….

Here’s the latest results from a Quinnipiac National Poll released today (full pdf below).  Unfortunately, yet again, even with all of their resources, the polled sample is intensely small (only 502 republicans).

At this point these large organizations, NYT/CBS (300), NBC/WSJ (400), and now Q-PAC (500), using small samples to present a national narrative – cannot reasonably be considered coincidental.  These quantifying decisions deliberate; they are also sketchy and bear the familiar signatures of media ‘gaslighting’:

(Via Q-PAC) Trump gets 24 percent of Republican votes, with Carson at 23 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 14 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 13 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 4 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. No other candidate tops 3 percent, with 9 percent undecided, and 63 percent who might change their mind.
