"...Ares Olympus @October 10, 2016 at 11:06 AM:<br /><br />"And strangely Trump might not just be the first president to be forcefully removed from office, but he might be the first president removed by his own party."<br /><br />If you mean conviction in impeachment, you are correct. However, the Republicans tried to oust Andrew Johnson in 1867, and missed conviction by one vote. Technically, since Johnson was a de facto Republican running on the Lincoln ticket in 1864, the Republicans were going after their own. Fast-forward to 1974, Richard Nixon resigned when it became clear that the Republicans were not going to back him against impeachment, and a likely conviction. That was over 18 minutes of erased tape. <br /><br />Today, a presidential candidate can have a private email server to intentionally evade public scrutiny while operating as a high cabinet official and serially lie about it with impunity. No consequences.<br /><br />Today, we have President who effectively do anything he wants and face no chance of impeachment. He can lie, deceive and run afoul of his oath of office. No consequences.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because there is no way in hell that Democrats would ever impeach -- much less convict -- their own party's president. Never. <br /><br />Is there any scenario you can think of in which Obama would've been impeached, convicted or forced by members of his own party to resign? Not a chance. Not in today's political, media and academic environment. Not with all the lawlessness we've rationalized and accepted these last 8 years. That's what's dangerous here. Democrat presidents can do whatever they want. <br /><br />If elected, Hillary will do whatever she wants, too. Democrats would never impeach her or vote to convict. And Hillary would never resign. No way. Democrats are never accountable for their actions.Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-75188327496210082752016-10-11T07:38:20.128-07:002016-10-11T07:38:20.128-07:00You cannot lead people you loathe.You cannot lead people you loathe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-90852918839284693722016-10-11T07:18:32.914-07:002016-10-11T07:18:32.914-07:00Question: If Democrats benefit from extensive elec...Question: If Democrats benefit from extensive election fraud that directly impacts the results, who is going to hold them accountable? <br /><br />When people say something is wrong in our country, this is what is driving it: LAWLESSNESS. <br /><br />Citizens are being targeted by their own government and its media allies. The IRS targeting of Tea Party groups was a blatant attack on citizens being politically active. As Peggy Noonan pointed out, this is new. But what is also interesting is the Republican failure to do anything about it, which demonstrates the limits of Congress in checking executive power. Analysts say there is no way John Koskinen will ever be impeached as IRS Commissioner. Lois Lerner has been exonerated by the DOJ/FBI, and collects a full government pension. <br /><br />It's open season on the citizenry.

Many of these polls over sample democrats because they take for granted that there are more democrats. The question is, "What does that mean and does it have any real predictive value?" Many of these alphabet network polls are unreliable for they are done by people who have an agenda.<br />Statistic are somewhat reliable when it comes to "things" and much less so when it is applied to people. People lie. People fail to respond, et al. <br />I tend to agree with you about hanging up. I just let the answering machine screen all calls. The question here is how much power do you want to give to pollster when it comes to your vote? I don't want pollster controlling the outcome of elections by manipulating the data, the variables and weighting of characteristics. It is one of the reason I don't trust computer modeling. Too easy for the biases of the people creating the computer model to insinuate themselves in the output and the interpretation of the results.<br />Having been in the military don't you find it interesting how easily some people give up and allow themselves to be manipulated?Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-84058250814309370902016-10-11T05:07:02.399-07:002016-10-11T05:07:02.399-07:00Democrats have not run their campaigns on any subs...Democrats have not run their campaigns on any substantive issues since the Kerry 2004 or Gore 2000 campaigns.

I disagree. Trump is playing to their anger, and the anger is real. People want change, but they feel powerless in the face of an insular, closed Ruling Class. <br /><br />Are there enough voters who feel this way to put Trump over the top on Election Day? I don't know. But if he is even close, I think we know the anger is real, and there's a powder keg under the American electorate. If Trump loses, but it is close, one would be wise to consider the barriers and obstacles he's faced. Yes, many of them have been self-imposed. That said, many of them are the "circling of the wagons" within the media, bureaucracy, academia and the political class. They've been pulling out all the stops to stop this insurgency. And the GOP Establishment is busy at work behind all this... Billy Bush's video didn't mysteriously appear. The Republican Party isn't playing to win, they're playing to keep their status and perquisites. <br /><br />By the way, the line I loved most last night was Hillary's saying something about her SCOTUS picks, and that they reflect the "real world" issues at stake. What a load of garbage!

It also turned around the Machado row, which was yet another example of the Clintons using people, like they did the Khans.
