On the eve of the first presidential debate on Monday, September 26, an ABC poll showed Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 2%: 46% to 44%. One of the readers’ comments stated that four years ago for the same time…

Trump’s opponents
As America anticipates the presidential debates — televised on Channel 4 at 1:45 a.m. on Tuesday morning, September 27 — everyone wonders whether Hillary Clinton will show up. Both she and Donald Trump will be standing. No breaks will be…
Make a note: Trump won on September 15
Greetings, fellow deplorables! The variety of amazing Donald Trump news on Thursday, September 15 leads me to predict that is the date he won the election. Yes, we still have another 50+ days to go, but Hillary is toast. On…
Donald’s ‘deplorables’
Remarks made at political party fundraisers can be risky business. On April 6, 2008 the then-senator Obama spoke at a Democrat fundraiser in San Francisco. Of Pennsylvanians, he said: they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy…
Is Trump’s tide turning?
Whilst Hillary Clinton (don’t miss the photo) won’t be jetting around the United States until September 6, just after Labor Day, Donald Trump has been extending his reach into parts of America most presidential candidates have not seen. On Saturday,…
Into the mind of Donald Trump
As I’ve said before, I have so many bookmarks on Donald Trump, they’re impossible to cover. Right now, Trump still lags in the polls, yet packs his rallies full of people wherever he goes. However, as we saw with McCain…
Could Louisiana be Trump’s turning point?
The leftist vitriol poured on Donald Trump for his visit to Louisiana on Friday, August 19 has been extraordinary. Readers’ comments, whether at The Guardian, CBS News or anywhere else the story is covered, are absolutely hateful in no small…
Anti-Trump media manipulation and more
With the Olympics and a momentous weekend, there is time only for a smattering of the latest news on Donald Trump. There is so much more to report. First, however, there’s big news on the hacking of the intranet at…
Media, pollsters on the attack and Trump’s not helping
Hillary Clinton’s post-convention bounce is strong and consistent. Of course, Reuters have changed their polling methods in the last week to sap Donald Trump’s figures, which were close to Clinton’s or — in Georgia, Missouri and Florida — ahead. Other…
Cleveland a success for Trump and the GOP
The 2016 Republican National Convention at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland was a resounding success not only for Donald Trump and the GOP but also for Reince Priebus. I never expected to be lauding Reince Priebus, but from the moment…
Trump’s strategic choice of Pence as VP
Although Big Media were rolling out endless stories about Donald Trump and his VP choice this week, none of those news outlets captured the essence of what was actually going on. In choosing Indiana governor Mike Pence — also a…
Trump looks ahead to convention and to Clinton
Donald Trump’s campaign continues to motor on. Polling remains stable, although now he is ahead in only one state: Georgia. I wrote in a previous post that I hoped Trump would talk with Indiana governor Mike Pence about the vice…
Another busy week for the Donald
Before Donald Trump flew to Scotland to reopen the refurbished Turnberry golf course, he accused Hillary Clinton of being ‘asleep’ during Benghazi. On June 23, NBC’s Lester Holt questioned him about the exact context of ‘asleep’. Trump replied that she…
Trump’s popular — don’t believe the media
Post-Orlando, Donald Trump’s media coverage has been negative. Three times this week I needed to visit Real Clear Politics (RCP) to see the latest poll results and the selection of articles they posted in order to get the truth. Trump…
Trump has 1,542 delegates and still can’t win
On Tuesday, June 7, 2016, Donald Trump won his final GOP primary races decisively. He won California with 75.3% of the Republican vote. In New Jersey, he achieved 80.4%, in Montana 73.7%, New Mexico 70.7% and in South Dakota 67.1%.…
