Well at least she and I are about the same age. If I am going to be someone's bitch, it might just as well be someone as intelligent and savvy a HRC.

Donald Trump Didn't Just Win; He Won With Unprecedented Efficiency
The Observer.com ^ | November 10, 2016 | Ken Kurson
Posted on 11/10/2016, 2:27:44 PM by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies
Improbable first-time candidate spent a fraction as much as his rivals
Somewhat lost amid the avalanche of “How could this have happened?” election coverage is a related process story that could be titled “How could this have happened so cheaply?”
Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by outperforming recent GOP nominees in just about every conceivable demographic. Despite making a wall on the Mexican border a centerpiece of his campaign, Trump received 29 percent of the Latino vote compared to Romney’s 27 percent, and he also got 8 percent of African-Americans compared to Romney’s 7 percent. While Trump’s 24 percent of the Jewish vote didn’t match Romney’s 30 percent, it exceeded McCain’s 22 percent.
What’s notable, however, is that Trump notched those gains while being massively outspent by his opponent.
According to figures compiled by the Center for Competitive Politics, an Alexandria group that opposes caps on political spending, Clinton’s campaign outspent the Trump campaign by more than 2 to 1. While full spending reports are not yet compiled, campaigns typically spend just about all they raise. As of October 28, Clinton had raised $687 million compared to Trump’s $307 million—a 124 percent advantage.
And that doesn’t even count the spending by outside groups (better known as “outside groups”). When added to the candidates’ own ads, Pro-Clinton ads outnumbered pro-Trump ads 3 to 1—a mind-numbing 383,512 ads for Clinton compared to 125,617 supporting Trump. Outside groups raised and spent more than three times as much on Clinton as on Trump. Super PACs and other groups supporting Clinton raised almost $190 million; those supporting Trump pocketed only $60 million.
The results speak for themselves, obviously, but the striking thing here is that Clinton actually did worse in the places where spending was highest. In the six states where Clinton targeted the most spending—Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Iowa—she and groups supporting her ran 299,067 ads compared to 89,995 supporting Trump—a ratio of 3.3 to 1. She lost all of those states except Nevada.
Profligate political spending wasn’t limited to Clinton. In fact, the three biggest-spending SuperPACs all supported candidates who lost. PACs backing Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio dropped $275 million on the race. Priorities USA Action lost $132 million in support of Clinton, but at least she made it to November. Perhaps the single most embarrassing ripoff in 2016 politics came via Right to Rise, the PAC supporting Jeb Bush. It spent over $86 million in failing to carry Bush to a single primary victory; he quit after placing fourth in South Carolina.
One of the lessons from this experience comes from David Keating, the president of the Center for Competitive Politics. “Money can’t buy love, and it can’t buy votes. All it can do is help deliver a message. The voters didn’t want what Clinton offered.”
Trump made a selling point out of how he was running his operation, telling voters that he would run the country as efficiently as he was running his campaign. He also derided his rivals’ inefficiency. Appearing on Morning Joe on the day after winning the New Hampshire primary, Trump said of Jeb Bush, “He will spend $100 million on ads…and every time he does a negative ad, my poll numbers go up. It’s a weird thing. But the guy’s a total stiff. He’s not going to win.” That was a particularly devastating hit during a Republican primary, where a substantial portion of the electorate views reckless spending as its number one issue.
Later on in the primary, The Washington Post picked up on the topic, handing Trump one of the few entirely positive headlines he earned in that paper: “Donald Trump is getting a very good deal on how much he’s spending per vote.” For a candidate who made “getting a good deal” a central part of his appeal, that was a valuable story, comparing him favorably to his Republican rivals and to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Interestingly, the same writer who credited Trump with efficient spending later snarked it up with a headline that supposedly captured the amateurism of the Trump campaign. In the October 25 Washington Post, Philip Bump wrote a story titled “Donald Trump’s campaign has spent more on hats than on polling.” The idea was clearly to mock the candidate for the frivolity of his ubiquitous “Make America Great Again” baseball caps, whose production was starving the poor pollsters. Given how badly the public pollsters performed in forecasting this election, one could easily conclude that Trump’s only mistake is he should have made more hats.
The Trump campaign’s unconventional priorities will surely upend conventional wisdom about political spending. In fact, one could wonder if the reason so many Republican political consultants were among the “Never Trump” faction had less to do with Trump’s beliefs and more to do with his contempt for their spendthrift ways. Stuart Stevens, for example, made a fortune as Mitt Romney’s chief strategist in his 2012 presidential run. His public excoriations of Trump, which were consistently cheered by the left in its fetish for right-on-right violence, could easily be seen as a job-protection racket more than an interest in sound political advice. The Trump campaign and its advisers (who include the publisher of the Observer) simply declined to spend the gigantic sums on polling and advertising that consultants—most of whom are pollsters and media guys—consider necessary.
The day before the election, Stevens wrote a column for the Daily Beast bemoaning the fact that Trump was going to lose because he failed to reach out to the growing minority population as effectively as Romney had. He also stated, with no evidence, that “Trump is doing less well with white voters than Mitt Romney.” The next day, that turned out to be wrong. It is worth noting that in 2012’s loss, Stevens’ media firm, American Rambler, received some $23,644,470 for media production, polling, communications and strategy consulting, according to the LA Times.
Ad spending and polling weren’t the only areas in which Trump spent considerably less than Clinton. According to CNBC, by the end of August, Clinton’s ground-game heavy campaign had 800 staffers. Trump had 130.
Rival candidates would undoubtedly point to the roughly $5 billion of free media attention that the data analytics firm mediaQuant estimates that Trump received as the reason he was able to spend so little. He also seemed to be running his own personal national newspaper 140 characters at a time, reaching millions with every tweet.
But complaining that a competitor has an unfair advantage because he’s funny or well-spoken or outrageous or has some other quality that free media admires is absurd. In a media-driven society, candidates may just need to develop those skills the way they’d work to develop policy expertise or debating chops. Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state, U.S. senator and first lady, had 100 percent name ID and should not have been hard to book on television. She might have driven down her cost-per-vote had she been willing to sit for more interviews.
By the time all the votes were counted, Trump appears to have spent about $5 a vote. That essentially tied him with John Kasich for lowest cost-per-vote of all primary competitors of either party. And it put him miles ahead of some who spent over $100 or the stunning $174 per vote that Michael Bloomberg spent to eke out a third-term victory over a drowsy opponent, comptroller Bill Thompson, who spent 1/14th as much to get 5 percent fewer votes.
Keating points to a well-known fact about moneyed candidates: “Lots of politicians spend tons and get few votes or lose.” He told the Observer about a bunch of recent debacles: “Jeb Bush and his super PAC were way ahead in the money race. He got four delegates to Trump’s 1,543. David Trone spent nearly $10 million of his own money in a Maryland Democratic primary this year. And lost. Napoleon Harris spent $2.1 million the Illinois Democratic primary for Senate and lost. In 2012, Linda McMahon spent nearly $50 million in personal funds in her CT Senate general election race and lost. David Dewhurst spent nearly $20 million out of his pocket and lost to Ted Cruz in the [U.S. Senate] primary.”
All true, but it’s easy to spend a lot and lose. It’s quite another thing to spend very little and win. That’s what Donald Trump accomplished Tuesday.
-
So Trump won. Not only that, but he won by record numbers. And not only that, but he accomplished this in a very efficient manner and with a fraction of the money Hillary and previous candidates have spent on campaigns.
If this isn't a reflection of how Trump will run the country and of how Hillary would have run the country, I don't know what is.

Seeing the sad sacks and whining douchbags on my FB - Trump was 100% the correct pic

Trump is already working on withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement
United Steelworkers (USW) ^ | November 18, 2016 | Natasha Geiling Reporter, Think Progress
Posted on 11/18/2016, 4:12:43 PM by mdittmar
Less than a week after Election Day, Donald Trump is already trying to figure out how he can pull the United States out of the historic Paris climate deal as quickly as possible.
Trump considers global warming a hoax, despite an overwhelming consensus from climate scientists who say that climate change is both real and man-made. Throughout his campaign, he promised to cancel the Paris climate agreement, which was signed by more than 180 countries last year and hopes to keep the world below 2° C of warming.

Mike Huckabee will be ambassador to Israel, move embassy to Jerusalem
Daily Mail ^
Posted on 11/18/2016, 3:17:19 PM by dead
Mike Huckabee is headed back to the Holy Land.
The two-time White House hopeful, former Fox New Channel weekend host and former governor of Arkansas will be America's next ambassador to Israel, a presidential transition official confirmed to DailyMail.com on Friday. He is scheduled to meet with President-Elect Donald Trump Friday at 2:00 p.m.
Huckabee, an ordained Baptist preacher and electric bass player, will become the tip of Trump's spear as he seeks to shake up U.S. foreign relations in the Middle East, beginning with relocating America's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
'That's going to happen,' the transition official said. 'Governor Huckabee is going to see it through.'

The entertainment value of the aftermath of his becoming President elect is huge. Just like during his campaign, he seems to constantly switch gears (in this case, trusted cohorts) on a daily basis while he or his family attempt to put together his cabinet. Christie is in, next day he's out. Nepotism runs rampant even thought it is illegal to appoint family to government positions. Good luck with him getting his choices approved by congress.
Hopefully, he will realize sooner rather than later that he got himself elected to a game he knows nothing about. Chances are he won't be impeached and this is probably a good thing because Mike Pence is an even scarier right wing not than Trump is.
Some folks around these parts who thought Obama was the mafia, ain't seen nothin' yet!

LOL ;D
"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". The thing with folk who believe themselves to be omniscient is that they tend to surround themselves with "yes men" who will tell them exactly what they want to hear with the hope it will benefit them. Powerful egomaniacs, like Donald Trump end up believing they can do anything they choose and that they remain untouchable. When Trump ends up feeding the rich at the expense of starving the middleclass and poor, there will be total anarchy and his head will roll, just like that of another elitist, Marie Antoinette. When you've promised the people the moon and give them nothing, all hell breaks loose.
The danger with being in the top 1% is that the other 99% will eventually take you down and they will show you no mercy.
Don't get me wrong , I am really hopeful that a shake it up administration will make things happen (for the better) and that Trump has the leadership ability to pull this off. I'm just not see this so far. I like to think positive. Let's hope things will get better in the next few months.

Trump "Ripped" Into Christie Before Demoting Him By Phone Call (Wont Allow Lobbyist Infestation)
In the days following the election, Trump expressed deep frustration about how Christie was handling the transition. In particular, he vented about how the governor had loaded up the team with lobbyists, the very class of people Trump had campaigned against, with his calls to “drain the swamp” in Washington. The president-elect also noticed that Christie had stocked his team with old New Jersey friends and allies.
There were other issues. Once the dust settled from their surprise win, the Trump team noticed that Christie had done little to vet potential administration picks or to dig into potential conflicts of interests. With Democrats eager to pounce on any early mistake, it was an oversight they simply couldn’t afford.

The Queen of England is planning to invite the Trump Family to London for an official state visit.
Via Conservative Treehouse:
According to The Sunday Times Queen Elizabeth is planning to invite President Donald Trump for an official state visit during the summer of 2017. Great Britain has long been the strongest ally to the U.S. provoking causing consternation from the left-wing elements amid both nations.
President Obama strained the relationship by criticizing the United Kingdom’s colonial heritage, removing a Winston Churchill bust from the oval office, and giving the Queen the gift of an iPod containing all of his own speeches.
(Via Sunday Times) Donald Trump is to be invited to meet the Queen as the government deploys its “secret weapon” to cement close ties with the new American president.
Plans to roll out the red carpet for Trump with a state visit in the summer of 2017 are being drawn up at the highest levels in Whitehall. A formal invitation for Trump to make the UK one of his first foreign stops will be issued once he is sworn in as president on January 20.
Discussions between British officials and Trump’s team are expected to begin soon to ensure that a date can be agreed for June or July next year."

Trump's Popularity Surges After Election (Choke On This LSM)
Townhall.com ^ | November 21, 2016 | Leah Barkoukis

It’s been nearly two weeks since the election and Donald Trump has already become more popular.
According to a Politico/Morning Consult poll of registered voters, Trump’s favorability has climbed 9 points since the same poll was taken right before the election, from 37 percent to 46 percent, while his unfavorability rating dropped by double digits, from 61 percent to 46 percent—a 15-point difference.
Trump is also getting high marks for his transition effort. Nineteen percent of those polled believe it is more organized than past efforts and another 34 percent believe the transition is about the same, according to the poll that Morning Consult conducted Nov. 16-18.
"Trump’s favorability among voters has reached new highs since he became president-elect,” said Morning Consult cofounder and Chief Research Officer Kyle Dropp. "This honeymoon phase in common for new presidents. For example, Obama saw about a 20 point swing in his favor following the 2008 election."

Marine Le Pen, ‘far right’ anti-globalist, takes commanding lead in polls for president of France
American Thinker ^ | 11/21/2016 | Thomas Lifson
Posted on 11/21/2016, 11:35:48 AM by SeekAndFind
A specter haunts Europe, and its name is Trump. A nightmare looms for the globalist elites, as France looks as though it will follow votes for Brexit in the U.K. and Trump in the United States, rejecting the unlimited flow of foreign nationals and the doctrine of multiculturalism that surrenders national culture. The U.K. Independent reports that Marine Le Pen, habitually dismissed as “far right,” could become the president of France next spring, if current levels of support continue.
Front National leader Marine Le Pen has taken a sizeable lead over Nicolas Sarkozy in a new French presidential election poll.
The far-right leader had 29 per cent of the vote when pitted against Les Républicains’ former president, who was eight points behind, and held a 15-point lead over the Parti de Gauche’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the poll released by Ipsos.
It was one of five scenarios for the first round of France's 2017 presidential elections on 23 April, although one that did not include Les Républicains’ Alain Juppé – who remains strong favourite to succeed Francois Hollande as leader.
While Mr Juppé holds leads of between 4 and 7 per cent in three other scenarios including him, the results are likely to add to growing fears that the rise of global populism could see Ms Le Pen secure a surprise victory in the wake of the UK’s Brexit vote and Donald Trump’s US election win.
Under the French election system, barring the unlikely possibility one candidate gains an overall majority in the first round vote, the two candidates with the most votes will contest a second and decisive round on 7 May.

Trump "Ripped" Into Christie Before Demoting Him By Phone Call (Wont Allow Lobbyist Infestation)
In the days following the election, Trump expressed deep frustration about how Christie was handling the transition. In particular, he vented about how the governor had loaded up the team with lobbyists, the very class of people Trump had campaigned against, with his calls to “drain the swamp” in Washington. The president-elect also noticed that Christie had stocked his team with old New Jersey friends and allies.
There were other issues. Once the dust settled from their surprise win, the Trump team noticed that Christie had done little to vet potential administration picks or to dig into potential conflicts of interests. With Democrats eager to pounce on any early mistake, it was an oversight they simply couldn’t afford.

Trump draining the swamp in own backyard first.
My Trump vote is reaffirmed.
Very disappointed in Fat Man. Trump is really starting off right. I am pleasantly surprised.

Can we cut the shit about this George Washington Bridge traffic jam nonsense?
It was made up from the get go. Seems as though a couple of Christie appointees, turned on him. (probably bought off by the Dems, or they had something on them.)
It was an absurd story to begin with. It came up when he was still a viable candidate in the primaries. It was supposedly done to get back at the Mayor of Fort Lee, NJ, for not supporting Christie for Governor. The mayor of Fort Lee is a democrat. No one expected him to support Christie for Governor. But the Dems went with this lie against Christie:
Hillary - Benghazi! Christie - Traffic Jam!
Hillary - Secret Server! Christie - Traffic Jam!
Hillary - Pay to play! Christie - Traffic Jam!
Hillary - Clinton Crime Family Foundation! Christie - Traffic Jam!
And so it went. The media killed Christie on a bogus charge, while perpetually ignoring the crimes of Hillary Clinton. Ironically, it gave Trump his chance to win the Presidency.
The fact is there is a traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge, every fucking day! No one blames the Mayor of Fort Lee ever. The fact is no one knows who the fuck the Mayor of Fort Lee even is! In any case, all the roads leading to the GWB, are either state or federal highways, that the Mayor of Fort Lee has no control over.
The story was made up to destroy Christie's chance of being President, and it worked. But, my Stress Analyzer didn't bleep when Christie denied knowing anything about it. Unlike the way it went off the Richter Scale, when Hillary was in Denial (Liar) Mode. All private investigators use the Stress Analyzer. So do Lawyers, when they are vetting potential clients. It's not admissible in court, but in fields where your income, depends on knowing who is telling the truth, it is indispensable.

I actually believe Christie as well.....I don't think he knew...but you went off the deep end when you said that
Dems paid his aides to set him up....that's absolutely hilarious

It's hilarious that you think the dems wouldn't do something dishonest and illegal, such as paying off, or blackmailing, someone, who could further their socialist goals.
In this case, it doesn't seem possible that there could be any other explanation, of how this phony scandal occurred. Especially if you say you believe Christie!

I wasn't really talking about the bridge. Was referring to putting lobbyists and his friends on the transition team. Not good.

There is no evidence that he did either, unless you believe the MSM stories, that Trump never said were correct. Don't believe the MSM! Trump had Christie by his side last weekend. Putting Pence in charge of the transition team, after the election, was something Trump said he would do, before the election. Pence is going to do the day-to-day stuff as Vice-President, and Christie was going to be the interim guy, until the election was won.

I don't know if it's true or not. I don't trust the NYT. But the story was also on conservative outlets.
Regardless, he became a distraction. I was a huge fan and he had a lot of potential. Started to go downhill with his convention speech in 2012. He was going to be Romney's VP. Was going to be Trump's VP. Was going to be AG. Not sure what he'll end up with, but he certainly diminished his star.

His star was diminished for him, by the leftist MSM, and the socialist Dems.

It's been like, uh, a couple of days.
He made a lot of decisions in those 10 days (just a little more than a couple of days)

FOOL, you no longer have any reputation here. Your analysis and predictions have all been shown to be incompetent.
From now on your only area of repute and knowledge is telling us about gay sex.
Don't hold your breath....on the other hand, do hold your breath just long enough to have a stroke and die.
-
He's probably even incompetent at that.
How'd you guess?
-

He helped. His 2012 speech was lousy and was more about self-promotion than anything else. Cozying up to Obama during the storm didn't help. I also didn't like how he went after Rubio.
That said, I like Christi and have always found his straight talk very appealing.

Trump's son-in-law has a vendetta against Christi. Could this be why he's out?

He's not out. That's the point. The MSM is trying to spread rumors, of disagreements and back stabbing amongst Trump insiders. It's not true. Just made up nonsense by Trump haters.

All political speeches are self promotion. The President of the USA, such as he was, was visiting a disaster area in NJ after Hurricane Sandy. What is the Governor of NJ supposed to do? Tell the worthless bastard to fuck himself. The boy held the purse strings for federal dollars for NJ citizens. Christie did what he had to do to get federal disaster aid. He was doing his job. He went after Rubio and everyone else. He was running for President. That's what you do, trash the competition.

When someone is given a prime speaking spot at the convention, they shouldn't make it about themselves. That's what launched Obama's candidacy (as lousy as he was). He nailed his speech. Christi not so much.
No Christi should not have done anything to turn down federal money, but he didn't have to fawn all over Obama in the middle of a hotly contested election.
He didn't just go after Rubio. He savaged him. What if Rubio would have won the nomination? I have the same criticism of Jeb. Spent way too much money attacking his own party.
All of these things, along with the bridge cases, made him a little toxic. We cannot solely blame the media for his demise.

Obama was chosen to be the negro president, by the crooked dem party, and the leftist MSM. MSM also supported Jeb Bush, a RINO globalist, but the people rejected him. If Rubio won, then he probably wouldn't be talking to Christie.
The MSM made it look like Christie was "fawning" over Obama, by only showing videos of Christie and Obama, when they were together smiling and laughing. We never saw much else, though I'm sure that there was more.
The GWB story was totally a MSM fabrication. Christie had nothing to do with it. It is what killed his chances, as that's all the MSM bleated about, while totally ignoring the real crimes of Hillary Clinton, and those around her.

Let's hope you are right. There has already been too much shit going on in the presidential election.
