3 I can only hope that Trump asks the Mexican president... why don't you get your own damn house in order instead of sending your kids to my house to eat my food, use my band-aids and sleep in my kids beds?

Despite a call on social media for anti-Trump protesters, the turnout at one rally was underwhelming. By the start time of 11 a.m., there were dozens of journalist but only a few protesters. A half-hour later, the number of protesters seemed stuck at four, including a guy wearing a Mexican wrestling mask, while the number of journalists topped 50. By 12:30 p.m., there were no more than 10 demonstrators, while the journalist pack continued to balloon.

That's kind of my take too.

Evidence for #2: it's often been noted that her poll numbers drop the more she's out and about.

Evidence for #3: she recently took off half a week to "rest up." In the middle of a campaign?? That's like a CPA taking off the first two weeks of April. Only exigent circumstances can justify that. Kick back AFTER the operative period, not during it.

Trump suggested five points to further grow the US relationship with Mexico:

"Number one: ending illegal immigration. Not just between our two countries, but including the illegal immigration and migration from the central and south Americas."

"This is a humanitarian disaster, the dangerous trecks, the abuse by gangs and cartels, and the extreme physical dangers. And it must be solved - it must be solved quickly. Not fair."

A couple of months ago, we'd look at polls, and you optimists would say "It's too early, show me battleground state polls in September."

Well, that's fucking tomorrow. And I have not seen one, not a single goddamned, Trump ad on television. And every poll I've seen still puts him behind. And FL and OH are must-wins; plus he must win one of MI or PA. And I haven't seen him in the lead of a single poll in any of those states. And again, I'm in Ohio, and I haven't seen one single ad for him.

So talk me off this ledge, fellers. Convince me Trump can win. Convince me he even wants to.

I think the two WI polls that confirm each other, and the general slow movement back to preconvention polling averages have me off the ledge. Plus better polls in a few other places like NC, NV, FL, PA, OH etc. There has just not been so many of them to move the averages with the national ones.

346 If an honest press actually existed in the US:

"Hillary may not have been at the meeting with the Meskin president personally, but she was certainly there in spirit.

By that I mean at least 14 men in the 'Meskin president's security detail are carrying M-4 carbines that were illegally smuggled over the border to Mexico by the Obama administration in the scandalous Fast and Furious Operation.

You may recall the Fast and Furious Operation from our previous reportage. That failed endeavor was ginned up by Hillary's State Department working with the ATF to make it look like 'Merkin guns were flooding over the border.

Over 300 'Meskin nationals and one 'Merkin border patrol agent have been murdered with these illegal weapons."

I can't help but wonder if black turnout modeling is skewing the polls and the variation we see in polling is due largely to this effect. We know that Obama had extremely high turnout among blacks, which make up 13% of the nation. If a pollster uses Obama style numbers it'll overstate the democratic advantage.

Of course it's possible, but I think it's more likely that the idea came from Trump than from him. Whom does this visit benefit? Trump. Even if the Mexican President invites Hillary too, to appear even-handed, and she goes, the whole episode still benefits Trump first and foremost, because he's made illegal immigration from Mexico a centerpiece of his campaign. Visiting there helps to blunt the racism charges of the Left.

That's why I think it was probably his idea.

Musical instruments are all about muscle memory. Any musical instrument will have books of drills to help you learn. Things like scales and chords, where you just repeat the same patterns over and over again. The beautiful thing about these practice drills is that the patterns they have you repeat are the patterns which end up appearing in the actual songs, which is how people can pick up a piece of music they've never played before and play it from sight. They aren't paying attention to each individual note, any more than when you read a book you're paying attention to every letter.

Playing music is very cathartic. I played violin for about 12 years through high school, and it's a great way to help clear your head.

Or entertain people.

Hope you enjoy it.

Executive Summary

Of the #NeverTrump bitching at the moment on Twitter and the Feeds.

Trump was low energy and didn't get Mexico to agree to pay for The Wall, therefor he sucks.

400 >>The RCP polls lags behind and uses outliers that drag down Trump's numbers. The most recent polls show Florida ahead four points in Florida and tied in Ohio.

Yeah but they are all different polls with different methodology. Some favor Trump, some Hillary.

I think he's still down a couple points but Hillary is doing everything in her power to lose this race.

VA and CO are lost for GOP presidential hopes I think, your PA assessment is correct, but I think he's got a shot at NH, OR, NV, and IA. CT was polling weird before the Khan booby Trap. I'd like to see a new poll there, in a week or so.

407 Why are the black keys only worth half a note?

Posted by: BLM at August 31, 2016 04:57 PM (LEJHr)


It isn't really meant as a devaluation of the black keys, per se, but rather a way for the white keys to weaken the musical power of the composers who used more half notes in their compositions than was healthy.

Eventually, the half note composers' works, being not as musically powerful as those of their white, whole-key composers, would fall into disfavor, and the music's equilibrium, which had been threatened with a bloody civil war that could have torn apart the entire symphonic world, would again be achieved.

****************************

I personally dismiss polls that show Trump down by ridiculous numbers so much that even liberals admit they're outliers. I think the crucial battleground states are currently within the margin of error. That tells me this is all going to come down to turnout, and I think that will favor Trump.

Tea leaves, the Mexican President would not have had this meeting if Hilary was winning.

Posted by: Jean


Oh, for Pete's sake. Perhaps it was because Trump is the one who's made friction with Mexico his signature issue and angered the Mexican people, or perhaps both were invited and only Trump was smart enough to respond.

But sure, it's all because the Donald is unstoppable and inevitable.

Very possible, in fact the odds are higher than it's ever been in recent history that it would wind up a tie and going to the House.

A tie meaning if Trump wins OH, FL, fails to get PA, but wins Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire, getting 269 votes.

I wish Colorado were a different story, it might have been but the cruz nevertrumpers completely fucked it up for us.

It's been slipping away for a while, I'm not sure it would matter, maybe it would be a little closer without that stuff.

426 I can't help but wonder if black turnout modeling is skewing the polls and the variation we see in polling is due largely to this effect. We know that Obama had extremely high turnout among blacks, which make up 13% of the nation. If a pollster uses Obama style numbers it'll overstate the democratic advantage.
