Make a poll, how much from the forum will vote for Trump  
How much for Deez Nutz.

Wednesday's GOP debate appears to be the highest-rated event in CNN's history, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings.
The prime time debate averaged a 14.7 household rating, indicating that 1 in 7 American homes with TVs tuned in.

These are NFL-level ratings -- affirming that the Donald Trump fueled Republican debate slate is one of the most popular television shows of the year.
The overnight ratings estimates are subject to adjustments. But the 14.7 rating is likely to translate to 20-plus million viewers once final viewership figures come out Thursday afternoon.
Fox's GOP debate last month received a 16.0 preliminary rating the next morning. That number later extrapolated to 24 million live viewers. (Another 1.1 million viewers watched via DVRs.)
Fox's debate was two hours long while CNN's was three hours.
From a campaign's perspective, longer might have been better, because it gave candidates more time to talk and argue. It also gave CNN more time for commercial breaks.
But the length may diminish the overall ratings a bit. That's because the ratings are an average of minute-by-minute viewership, so if viewers didn't stay for the whole program, the average will be lower.
Hour-by-hour ratings may illuminate this viewer behavior later in the day.
But even the overnight ratings show that these GOP debates are drawing viewers who never bothered turning on a debate before.
For comparison's sake, CNN's most-watched presidential primary debate before Wednesday was a Democratic debate on January 31, 2008. It had an average of 8.3 million viewers.
CNN's most-watched program program ever was a special "Larry King Live" episode in 1993. The episode featured Al Gore and Ross Perot debating NAFTA and averaged 16.8 million viewers.
Wednesday's debate also set a live-streaming record for the network.
At the midway point of the debate, there were 921,000 concurrent users on CNN's live stream, easily making it the most-watched web stream of a primary debate ever.

Donald Trump YUGE Rally In Dallas Texas – Full Video…

Yep.

The Gubbermint should be scared of the people.

Wall street should be scared of the people.

BOOM, There It Is – Wall Street In Panic: “Trump Could Win”…


The latest sunlight onto an increasingly obvious RNC/GOPe scheme comes from the most unlikely source, POLITICO, who highlight their article Wall Street’s Latest Panic.

In very direct ways their article cuts to the very heart of the matter – Wall Street cannot fathom a Donald Trump candidacy – They Planned For JEB!


However, this reality is still met by people who refuse to accept the overall system we call modern 2016 Presidential Politics is entirely the construct of financial stakeholders who have financed, and in 2014 constructed, a political road map for Clinton/Bush 2016.

We still find people who don’t understand the basic element behind this truth:


NEW YORK — Wall Street is growing increasingly terrified that Donald Trump — once viewed as an amusing summertime distraction — could actually win the Republican nomination for president.

The real estate billionaire, who took another populist shot on Sunday by ripping into lavish executive pay, continues to rise in the polls. Would-be Wall Street saviors like Jeb Bush are languishing in single digits. The belief that Trump’s candidacy would quickly fade is now evaporating in a wave of fear.

“I held four lunches for investors in August and at the first one everyone assumed Trump would implode,” said Byron Wien, vice chairman of Blackstone Advisory Partners and a senior figure on Wall Street. “By the fourth one everyone was taking him very seriously. He taps into frustrations that are very real and he is a master manipulator of the media.”

The CEO of one large Wall Street firm, who declined to be identified by name criticizing the GOP front-runner, said the assumption in the financial industry remains that something will eventually knock Trump off and send voters toward a more establishment candidate. But that assumption is no longer held with strong conviction. And a dozen Wall Street executives interviewed for this article could not say what might dent Trump’s appeal or when it might happen.

“I don’t know anyone who is a Donald Trump supporter. I don’t know anyone who knows anyone who is a Donald Trump supporter. They are like this huge mystery group,” the CEO said. “So it’s a combination of shock and bewilderment. No one really knows why this is happening. But my own belief is that the laws of gravity will apply and those who are prepared to run the marathon will benefit when Trump drops out at mile 22. Right now people think Trump is pretty hilarious but the longer it goes on the more frightening it gets.”

The latest frightening broadside for the Wall Street class came on Sunday when Trump said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that executive pay in America is “a complete joke” and promised to raise taxes on “the hedge fund guys.” In a statement sent to POLITICO on Monday from his campaign, Trump relished in the attacks from Wall Street, singling out both Bush and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, another favorite on Wall Street.

BLACK RAPPER AZEALIA BANKS SHOWS HOW TRUMP’S MESSAGE RESONATES WITH BLACK VOTERS






As polls show Donald Trump performing better than ever with black voters, progressive rapper Azealia Banks is expressing support for Trump’s popular immigration policy because of the positive impact it could have on black Americans.

“Do you think it’s bad that I sort of agree with [Trump’s] stance on immigration?” the rapper wrote on her Instagram account on September 7th.

Banks, a black rapper from Harlem, made headlines in March of this year by declaring her hatred for “this country” and “white Americans.”

Banks explained that her support for Trump’s immigration plan is based on the detrimental impact mass immigration has had on the black community. “Black Americans still have not been paid reparations for slavery,” she wrote. “It’s selfish, but America has been really good at convincing me that everyone else’s problems are more important than my own.”

Following an immediate onslaught of progressive backlash, Banks tried to vaguely signal to progressives that her pro-America immigration statement was just a “social experiment.” However, all of her social media posts thereafter demonstrate a strong support for the ideas underpinning Trump’s rise.

“If the United States of America is an aircraft on its way down, (which it seems to be) I must put my own air mask on before I assist others,” Banks later wrote.

Indeed, black Americans have been disproportionately impacted by mass immigration. “Competition from immigration accounts for approximately 40 percent of the 18-percentage point decline in black employment in recent years,” U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Peter Kirsanow has documented. “That’s nearly a million jobs lost by blacks to immigrants.”

Black Americans are currently unemployed at twice the rate of white Americans, and real average wages are lower today than they were in 1973, shortly after the green card gusher began.

Yet the consequences of mass immigration for “the black community in general are not limited to wages,” three members of the Civil Rights commission wrote in 2013.

In addition to lower wages, decades of mass immigration has led to an increase in the incarceration rate amongst black Americans. As Harvard Professor George Borjas has analyzed, “a 10% immigrant-induced increase in the supply of a particular skill group is associated with a reduction in the black wage of 2.5%, a reduction in the black employment rate of 5.9 percentage points, and an increase in the black institutionalization rate of 1.3%.”

Banks’ immigration post, however, caught the ire of Buzzfeed’s Conz Preti, who according to Buzzfeed’s website, is “la directora regional para las Américas”– or the regional director of Americas for Buzzfeed.

“Dear ‪@AZEALIABANKS, I’m not sucking up state aid nor your gov money. I’m busting my [a**] working and not bothering you,” Preti tweeted on September 8th.

“‪Yes,” Banks tweeted in response, “but eventually you and the other 10 million undocumented immigrants will have children who need schooling and need food stamps etc”

But Preti isn’t an illegal immigrant, so she lashed back: “[W]ho said I’m undocumented?”

Banks’ statistics overall are correct. “Immigrant households use welfare at significantly higher rates than native households,” with more than half of U.S. immigrants on welfare, a new Census data study reveals. The disproportionate reliance on welfare continues amongst the second and third generations (i.e. the American-born children) of immigrants: 76.4 percent of native Hispanics report that they use welfare as opposed to 40.8 percent of native whites.

Banks pressed the point. “Who’s going to pay for [mass immigration]?” Banks tweeted. “I’d much rather have my tax dollars go to making schools better then spreading schools thin.”

Bolded is not true.  Trump is not a politician but a businessman.

You pretty much have to be a politician to not be capable of solving shit.

I can't find any politician worth voting for, and Trump is certainly not one of them. This is just another "big persona" that does viral things, just a joke of a guy wanting fame because he already got enough money. So he'll do is fair share of fucking around and doing" Non politically correct "shit to entertain the masses, then retire with his new found fame and keep enjoying his millions. This idiot isn't capable of solving shit or expressing any creative thoughts.

You have described billhillaryclinton perfectly...


Bill Clinton 2008 on Obama: A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee


http://hotair.com/archives/2010/01/09/bill-clinton-2008-on-obama-a-few-years-ago-this-guy-would-have-been-getting-us-coffee/

I love Trump, he's exposing the republican party for what it is, a bunch of old white, rich, racist, homophobes who care for nothing but how much money they have lining their pockets.

Hmm.. I can see Trump using this check to shut up those who say he is not a conservative...

Trump gives $100K to Boehner PAC

Donald Trump cut a $100,000 check to the Republican super PAC linked to House Speaker John Boehner, POLITICO has learned.

The Congressional Leadership Fund, which recently announced it would spend $13.5 million on House races before Election Day, will report the Trump check with the Federal Election Commission later Monday.

The fund raised $1.14 million in the third quarter of 2012 and has just under $6 million in the bank. An official with knowledge of CLF’s finances told PI to expect “millions more” when the super PAC files its pre-general election report on Oct. 25.

Also donating to the CLF in the third quarter were private-equity executive and major super PAC funder John Childs, who contributed $250,000. J. Christopher Reyes and M. Jude Reyes of Reyes Holdings contributed $100,000 each; Michael Kors CEO John Idol gave $50,000; and businessman and longtime Republican Party leader Ronald Gidwitz also contributed $25,000.

Earlier this year, Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife gave a combined $5 million to the super PAC, while Texas billionaire Bob Perry donated $1 million.

Donald Trump Interviews Himself In the Mirror

CNN poll puts Trump at 32%, up eight points in a month


Say what you will — Donald Trump certainly does, and it’s still paying off. A new CNN poll shows Trump’s star still rising, up eight points in a month to go to 32%. His nearest rival, Ben Carson, has gained more ground in that time, 10 point, but still has a 13-point deficit in trailing Trump at 19%. No one else makes double digits in the new poll:


Donald Trump has become the first Republican presidential candidate to top 30% support in the race for the Republican nomination, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, which finds the businessman pulling well away from the rest of the GOP field.

Trump gained 8 points since August to land at 32% support, and has nearly tripled his support since just after he launched his campaign in June. The new poll finds former neurosurgeon Ben Carson rising 10 points to land in second place with 19%. Together, these two non-politicians now hold the support of a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, and separately, both are significantly ahead of all other competitors.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush stands in third place with 9%, down 4 points since August, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz holds fourth place with 7%. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker follow at 5%, with all other candidates at 3% or less, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who notched the only other statistically significant shift in the poll by falling 5 points since August.


Walker dropped from 8% to 5% in the past month, which is within the MoE but clearly not going in the right direction. Fiorina remained relatively unchanged at 3%, which puts her ahead (nominally, anyway) of Chris Christie and John Kasich at 2%, and Bobby Jindal in a crowd at 1% or less. Fiorina gets listed seventh on this poll, and seems on track to participate in the main-stage debate next week on CNN. That should make for an interesting moment or two, considering Trump’s remarks about Fiorina’s appearance, and CNN must be licking its chops at the potential.

The second-choice question works out similarly, although with different numbers. Trump and Carson are virtually tied, 18/16 respectively, with Bush coming in third at 10%. Fiorina jumps up to fourth place with 8%, passing Cruz and Rubio at 7% in a tie. Walker trails badly on this measure too, coming in behind Christie and Mike Huckabee, both of whom get 5% to Walker’s 3%.

Right now, the enthusiasm is with the two front-runners. In a small sample of registered Republican voters (307 respondents), Trump and Carson are the only two GOP candidates to register over 21% for “enthusiastic.” In fact, Carson actually edges Trump on this measure, 43/40, and a little more substantially in “Satisfied but not enthusiastic,” 33/27. Trump gets 19% on “upset,” the second-worst rating in the poll after … Jeb Bush, who gets 21%.

Finally, the issue responses from the whole sample are worth noting. The leading “extremely important” responses on issues are the economy (52%), Social Security/Medicare (50%), and terrorism (49%), with education and health care tied for a close fourth (47%). Illegal immigration doesn’t get to 40%, and neither do foreign policy, taxes, abortion, or income inequality. Global warming comes in dead last at 23%. Keep this in mind when it comes to messaging in the primaries, and especially in the general election.

Yes... According to the Jebhillary machine. A machine with no last names.

Wow, that's really great.  Those are the real people.

The other day I was thinking about this idiotic assertion of "Trump being racist."  Where I live, Texas, Hispanics have been here for 500 years.  They're not Mexican, they are American.  They don't need people in Washington thinking for them - people that usually don't understand things very well.

You know what?  If you must have a preconceived and dogmatic partisian view, you likely don't understand things very well. 

You don't have to.

You've already been told what to think.

Is that what we want?
