Blockbuster Latino Vote Rewrites Presidential Election | Black Vote Rebounds

Latino voting surge rattles Trump campaign Politico

Donald Trump may wish he never said he wanted to build a wall. He may regret ever calling Mexicans 'rapists', adding as an afterthought that there were probably a few good ones. Across America, Hispanic voters have been a traditionally low-voting cross-section of the American electorate.  

The Hispanic voter block is silent no longer. The lines of Hispanic voters were so long in Clark County, Nevada Friday night that the voting location stayed open until 10 pm, causing the state GOP Chairman to cry foul.

“Last night, in Clark County, they kept a poll open till 10 o’clock at night so a certain group could vote,” said McDonald at a Trump rally in Reno. “It wasn’t in an area that normally has high transition. The polls are supposed to close at 7. This was kept open till 10. Yeah, you feel free right now? Think this is a free or easy election?”

Florida Democratic strategist Steve Schale analyzed the Florida vote, noting that through Wednesday, Hispanic turnout in 2016 had already exceeded by 170,000 the entire 2012 cycle.

We already know that national polling isn't capturing the Hispanic vote, due to a model not based on this heavy turnout. There is every reason to believe that Hispanics and Latinos are poised to upend all voting projections done around Tuesday's presidential vote finale. 

Other American citizens -- not Donald Trump and his white supporters -- may have the last word in Hillary Clinton's rise to the American presidency.

Jump in Florida, Nevada early voting could reap Latino gains for Clinton  Reuters

More specifics on Florida include a recent poll conducted by the firms The Tarrance Group and Bendixen and Amandi found that Hispanic registered voters in Florida favor Clinton 60% to 30%. In Nevada the gap was even wider - 72% for Clinton and 19% for Trump.

In Florida, the Clinton campaign estimates early Latino voting is up 139%, compared to 2012, according to a field report dated Wednesday.

Florida's Early Vote Ends With Record Turnout in Democratic Strongholds Huffington Post

Florida voters shattered all-time turnout records in at least three of Florida's most populous and heavily Democratic counties. 2/3 of the vote is in, with African American voters rebounding from a deficit against 2012. U of Florida election data analyst Daniel Smith predicts a higher black turnout than in 2012. From every indicator, Latino voters are blowing the doors off in Florida, with estimates that the Latino votes already in exceeded the 2012 vote.

Early voting in Miami-Dade county increased 47% from 2012.

Historically, more white Republicans will vote on Election Day, but even that EVENT could be a nightmare for Trump. VoteSmart estimated last week that 28% of Republican voters already done voting went for Hillary.

In what could be a tremendous humiliation for Donald Trump in Florida, college-educated Republicans may put the final nail in Trump's coffin on Tuesday. The symbolism of such a gesture could be exactly what America needs as thinking people of every gender and skin color join hands and declare "We are STRONGER TOGETHER!"

Obama Meets 12-Year-Old with Cerebral Palsy Who Was Kicked Out of Trump Rally Talking Points Memo

We salute a true American patriot!!

We're so proud of 12-year-old JJ Holmes and his mother Alison for standing up to Trump for his treatment of the disabled. JJ has cerebral palsy, is confined to a wheel chair and also relies on a technical assist to speak. Clearly, his illness in no way took away JJ's bravery, even in the midst of Donald Trump and his mad minions.

After chanting Hillary Clinton's name through a computer vocalization device in Tampa Saturday, Trump ordered JJ and his mom out of the rally, causing his supporters to turn on them, even pushing JJ's wheelchair.

In his usual blowhard voice, Trump boomed "Get them out!" JJ stood his ground, refusing to be silenced.

“I hate Donald Trump,” J.J. piped up, speaking through a computer vocalization device. “I hate Donald Trump.”

Another woman in the crowd witnessed the incident, and she must be a Democrat because she reached out through her channels to arrange a short meeting between JJ and President Obama in nearby Kissimmee, Florida on Sunday.

How's that for being STRONGER TOGETHER!!! Love you JJ!

Donald Trump's New Reality: It's All Lies, It's All Rigged From Media To Polls To Voting

New York Times Runs Full Two-Page Spread of Everything Trump Has Insulted on Twitter Mediaite

The New York Times made news Monday,  running a rare two-page story listing every person, place, and thing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has ever insulted.

The Times had archives ready to go, having long kept a continually-updated list of Trump’s insults on its website. The most recent entries in the endless list of insults include attacks on acting DNC chairwoman Donna Brazille (“Totally dishonest”), Republicans (“So disloyal”) and the electoral process (“RIGGED”).

Today The Times decided to publish the entire list of Trump insults in its print edition.

Clinton Vaults to a Double-Digit Lead ABC News

Hillary Clinton vaulted to a 12 pt. lead over Donald Trump in the ABC News/Washington Post polls, out Sunday morning. Clinton leads Trump 50% to 38%.

Donald Trump chose the two issues that are causing his dramatic polls decline to open his farce and disgraceful Gettysburg addresses on Saturday. As an expert communicator, Trump knows that the opening paragraphs of an address define its impression on listeners. Trump's fierce aggression in saying he will sue the women who have accused him of varying sexual advances and misconduct, coupled with his reluctance to say that he will accept the election result, are causing him to utterly tank in new polls. Yet, Trump presses on with the same defiant strategy.

Dear Donald Trump: I'm an OB-GYN. There are no 9-month abortion. VOX

Focusing on late-term abortions is always an interesting strategy for Donald Trump. But it is the wrong strategy. The vast majority of abortions -- 91 percent -- happen before 13 weeks. Easily accessible, free, long-acting reversible contraception has caused America's abortion rate to decline consistently.

For the record, this doctor explains that Trump's horrific visions of babies being pulled out of the womb and killed are totally false. Only 1.3% of abortions happen after 21 weeks. When one is required for very rare reasons, labor is induced and every attempt is made by medical professionals to save the fetus in a neo-natal hospital unit, regardless of health problems requiring this medical effort.

Once again, Trump takes the most contentious social issues of our time and fills them with toxic hate.

Republican Women Revolt

The Anguish of Being a Republican Woman in the Age of Trump by Michelle Goldberg Slate

Earlier this month, Michigan GOP leaders told Wendy Day, the state party’s grassroots vice-chair, that she had to endorse Donald Trump or resign. Day, a former staffer for Ted Cruz, refused to do either. In a letter to the state Republican chairwoman, she wrote, “It is important for our party to represent all of the voices in our party, not just the loudest.” On Oct. 17—10 days after the release of the 2005 Access Hollywood tape in which Trump bragged about groping women—the chairwoman announced Day’s removal from the post she’d been elected to at a state convention last year.
