Trumps Hispanic Support

"LAS VEGAS -- As Donald Trump complained about how his nose looked on the cover of People

magazine last week, he spotted a woman in the crowd waving a copy.
"There it is! Come here!" Trump said, walking across the stage and pulling up Myriam Witcher, an immigrant from Colombia who has become one of his super-fans. Witcher bounced with the excitement of a teenaged girl meeting a boy-band heartthrob: "I love Mr. Trump!"
"I am Hispanic," she proclaimed to the mostly white crowd at a rally here on Thursday afternoon, "and I vote for Mr. Trump!"

Trump fan bounces with excitement: "I'm Hispanic!" Trump: "And that's my relationship with Hispanics."WP

Democrat Focus Group Mocking Clinton

"During a New Hampshire focus group of Democrats televised on MSNBC this morning, “Shannon” didn’t want to say what she really thinks of Hillary Clinton.
The exchange with moderator Mark Halperin began with Shannon saying Hillary’s “scorned” tone can be “off-putting.”
“Tell me what it’s like, what are you seeing,” Halperin pressed.
After sighing, Shannon replied, “You know, when she’s — I don’t want to use the word,” laughing. Then she whispered “bitchy” to Halperin.
 “It’s like that ‘women need to be equal’ [attitude], I mean, I don’t know, I don’t feel unequal.”
Another female participant jumped in, saying, “I agree. I don’t feel unequal. I don’t feel I’ve had a job where I feel unequal to my male counterparts. So it’s not an issue that speaks to me.”
A male voter said, “I like Hillary, I think she’s a strong candidate. But she has that –,” pointing to Shannon, “that condescending and I can see that causing gridlock.”
Shannon jumped back in mimicking Clinton, “I’m a woman, I deserve it.”
Halperin asked the group of about 12 voters who thought it could hurt Clinton’s chances and every participant raised their hand." AP

"Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein ...told Hedges, “A hostile corporate force occupies us

all. Corporations are polluting our air and our water. They are degrading our jobs or exporting them. … But the leviathan is so over-zealous, so heavy-handed and so overfunded that it is beginning to self-destruct. … A recent Wall Street Journal poll shows that 50% of Americans no longer identify as being either Democrat or Republican.

Carson on the View

"Famed neurosurgeon and 2016 presidential contender Dr. Ben Carson faced-off against the women of “The View” on Tuesday after he decried abortion and said that “we’re killing babies all over the place.”
 Host Whoopi Goldberg countered by asking whether Carson has “met with the women who have to make these horrendous decisions,” and questioned whether the Republican candidate is empathetic — to which he said that he is.
Carson then explained his belief that the private sector must provide adequate daycare so that mothers who choose to have their babies can get GEDs and finish their education.
“You’re assuming that these are mothers who aren’t educated,” Goldberg countered, with the crowd gasping and moaning when Carson said that most of them fit that description.
“A lot of those young girls who are having babies out of wedlock — when they have that first baby, they stop their education and that child is four times as likely to grow up in poverty,” Carson said. “We, as a society, have an obligation to do what’s necessary to stop that cycle.” TheBlaze

Remember what I said. You got honest socialists. You got guys that are – like Bernie Sanders, they're fighting for socialism. Why won't our side fight half as hard for freedom and for America?
On issue after issue, all they know how to do is give up. They told us give us the majority, we'll get rid of Obamacare and amnesty. We gave, we did our work. We voted. We donated money, time. We won the majorities.
But we still have Obamacare. We still have amnesty." Charisma

Hillary on SNL

"Hillary Clinton on Saturday evening returned to the set of “Saturday Night Live," starring in a skit as “Val,” an easy-to-talk-to barkeep giving advice to the former secretary of state, played by comedian Kate McKinnon.
In the skit, Clinton, as “Val,” dressed in a white button-down shirt and apron, mocked herself for being slow to announce her current position on the Keystone Pipeline and on gay marriage. She was also game to play along with a joke about Bill Clinton, played by Darrell Hammond, who entered the room, spotted two versions of his wife, and fled exclaiming, “My God, they’re multiplying!”

Clinton’s best line of the night was her game impression of Donald Trump, which rivaled the Trump impression by Taran Killam on the show’s cold open. (The sketch starring Clinton was surprisingly buried about 30 minutes into the broadcast, rather than featured at the top of the program.)
The skit made no mention of the email scandal that has been damaging Clinton’s campaign so far. Nor did it deal with her main rival for the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders, or Vice President Joe Biden’s potential entry into the race. Instead, the appearance handed Clinton an opportunity to be self-deprecating, winking at her own stiffness and acknowledging some of her own weaknesses in a manner that seemed to score her points with the audience."

For the next 16 months, we are in a Hobbesian state of nature, it is like ‘Lord of the Flies,’ where the only limit on misconduct and aggression of bad actors is the limit of their own strength."

Rubio on Russian - Syrian Alliance

"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) says Russia's military campaign in Syria will only bring more turmoil to the Middle East.
 “It’s the consequences of a president who has a foreign policy that’s turned into a disaster,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate added.
Russia has begun launching airstrikes in Syria, claiming it is targeting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
But Rubio said Russian President Vladimir Putin is using the Syrian civil war for his own ends, propping up Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by eliminating opposing rebel groups.
“Putin is going to target all the non-ISIS rebels on the ground and try to wipe them out,” Rubio said. “Once he wipes them out, he turns to the world and says, ‘OK, now you have to help Assad. It’s either Assad or ISIS, there’s nobody else, because we killed everybody else.
“That’s very cunning of him and very cynical,” he added. "Imagine that Assad does hold on and goes back to being who he has always been — which is a supporter of terrorist groups, including those that target America.”
Rubio also predicted that Putin’s actions in Syria would eventually lead him into other Middle Eastern nations like Iraq.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw that happen soon,” he said. "I wouldn’t rule out them conducting airstrikes in Iraq as well.
“It’s not like the Iraqi government is pleased with the Obama strategy in that region either,” Rubio added." TheHill

Sanders matching Hillary in fundraising

"Bernie Sanders is offering Hillary Rodham Clinton an unexpected challenge in the race for primary campaign money this quarter as he collected nearly as much money from small donations as the Democratic front-runner has from big-dollar donors.

The Vermont senator's campaign says he has raised about $26 million for his presidential campaign in the past three months. Coming mostly from small donations given online, the sum underscores the draw of his insurgent campaign among the grassroots of the Democratic Party.

Clinton's campaign, in its own announcement Wednesday, said she had taken in $28 million. Most of it came from fundraisers hosted by big donors across the country. Many took place in the traditionally Democratic treasure chests of Manhattan and Hollywood" AP

Massacre of Christians in Oregon

"ROSEBURG, Ore. — The fourth day of the fall term was underway when bullets tore into the

classrooms of Umpqua Community College, adding that tranquil timber town to the grim roster of places whose histories are now permanently cast in terms of “before” and “after.”
Officials said that nine victims were killed, plus the gunman. And at least 10 others were admited for treatement at the Mercy Medical Center, said the chief medical officer, Jason Gray, on Friday. Three patients were transferred to larger facilities for more intensive care, he added.
Chris Harper Mercer — strode through a school building armed with three pistols and a semiautomatic rifle. Clad in a dark shirt and jeans, driven by a motive that’s still unknown, he

methodically spewed bullets into classrooms full of students, who hid behind desks and desperately tried to block doors that didn’t lock.
In one classroom, he appeared to single out Christian students for killing, according to witness Anastasia Boylan.
“He said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second,'” Boylan’s father, Stacy, told CNN, relaying his daughter’s account while she underwent surgery to treat a gunshot to her spine.
“And then he shot and killed them.”
Another account came from Autumn Vicari, who described to NBC News what her brother J.J. witnessed in the room where the shootings occurred. According to NBC: “Vicari said at one point the shooter told people to stand up before asking whether they were Christian or not. Vicari’s brother told her that anyone who responded ‘yes’ was shot in the head. If they said ‘other’ or didn’t answer, they were shot elsewhere in the body, usually the leg.” msn
