"They are all driving the exact narrative that Jihadists want to

with an entire religion. This is a grave mistake,”

Earlier today, Mr. Trump said something which unfortunately I think
is true,” she said, to laughter, "Occasionally that happens -- rarely.”

"He said, ‘Oh yeah, that Republicans, they condemn me and then they
move closer to me.’ So, we’re not only dealing with one inflammatory
demagogue, we’re dealing with a party in danger of losing its way, of
undermining the values that we have stood for,”

The thing I have not seen addressed in the polls is how many people
who call themselves democrats, agree with Trump. I would not be
surprised if it was a double digit percentage.
He polls higher against a democratic candidate than he does against
the other republicans.


That has been pointed out by more than one political commentator.
Michael Steel (who I think is fair in his comments), even if he is a
Republican has made this point.

Regardless, the GOP has to find a way to shut Trump up if they hope to
have any chance at all. More info is coming out about Hillary and her
emails that are damning but it is being ignored in the media in lieu
covering the antics of the Donald.


In another note I suggested that Trump will come out of this with a TV
show and the way it is going, I bet it will be on CNN. That is the
"all trump, all the time" network.
It has become more unwatchable that it was if that is possible.
I am watching New Zealand news if I want international stories
although the CNN show at 2:30-4 is not horrible. It is their
international feed.

BTW if you wanted to talk about a reasonable republican to throw at
the democrats, Steele might be the guy. I haven't heard him say
anything dumb for a while. The folks in Maryland seemed to like him as
a politician.

I imagine they are saving the stuff about Hillary until next summer
when people will still remember it at the polls. I expect this to be
one of the dirtiest campaigns in recent history with nothing off the
table ... on either side.
