Trump Should Have Stayed OFF Sunday Shows
Trump, Campaign, Try To Spin His Hateful, Racist Attacks On Khan Family
On Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, site of the Democratic National Convention Khizr Khan, with his wife, Ghazala, by his side, made a speech. The Khan's lost their son, Humayun Khan in Iraq when he walked toward a suicide bomber and told the soldiers with him to get back. He saved his fellow soldiers but died when the bomber detonated his bomb. Humayun was posthumously awarded The Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
In Khan's speech he said "you have sacrificed nothing, and no one." George Stephanopoulos on ABC News/This Week with George Stephanopoulos, asked Donald Trump, Republican Nominee for President of the United States about that statement and Trump responded "well that sounds so, who wrote that, did Hillary's scriptwriter's write that." This Sunday on NBC News/Meet the Press with Chuck Todd Khizr Khan said "the stewardship of this country needs to be in the hands of a person with moral compass, who can relate, who has some empathy with the citizen's he wishes to lead, this candidate (Trump) is void of both. On Saturday The Trump For President Campaign responded "Captain Humayun Khan was a hero to our country... the real problem here are the radical Islamic terrorists who killed him."
Republicans are also denouncing Trump with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY.) condemning his Islamophobic attacks on the Muslim war hero’s family without mentioning his name, but falling short of withdrawing their support as reported in the Huffington Post.

Trump Flaunts His Ignorance On Foreign Policy Again - His "Negotiation Skills" Aren't What They Were Trumped Up To Be Either
For the author of "The Art of the Deal" and self-proclaimed "best negotiator ever" Trump and his "best people" pretty much let everything slide when forming the 2016 GOP Platform except for one thing, the part of the platform that encourages giving lethal weapons to the Ukraine to help ward off aggression from Russia. The Washington Post reports "Republican delegates at last week’s national security committee platform
meeting in Cleveland were surprised when the Trump campaign
orchestrated a set of events to make sure that the GOP would not pledge
to give Ukraine the weapons it has been asking for from the United
States." Read More: Trump campaign guts GOP’s anti-Russia stance on Ukraine . Where Trump wanted to soften the platform on same-sex-marriage and support for business decisions to deny certain services to same-sex couples Politico reports " While the party platform now bends toward Trump in some areas, other
traditional planks of party orthodoxy remain firmly in place. Religious
conservatives — without specifically swiping at Trump — rejected efforts
by social moderates to soften the party’s stance against same-sex
marriage. The Platform Committee on Monday afternoon added language
defining marriage as the union between one man and one woman. And the
platform also features language that embraces social conservative
positions such as opposition to adoption by same-sex couples and support
for business decisions to deny certain services to same-sex couples." Read More: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/donald-trump-republican-platform-225394#ixzz4G5UZ3vBM His "best negotiation skills of anyone in the world" aren't showing here. Neither is his ability to "hire the best people," "the most knowledgeable people," "the best," for representing him in negotiations or for running his campaign for that matter.

Does Trump Have A Relationship With Putin?
In 2013, 2014, and 2015, Donald Trump said he did have a relationship with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin who is a Russian politician, and is the current President of the Russian Federation. Further into his interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC/This Week... Trump claimed "I have no relationship with Vladimir Putin" right after which Stephanopoulos played clips of Trump on MSNBC November 13, 2013 where the interviewer asked Trump "Do you have a relationship with Vladimir Putin, a conversational relationship, or anything where you feel you have sway over his government?" Trump responds "I do have a relationship and I can tell you he's very interested in what we're doing here, he's probably very interested in what you and I are saying and I'm sure he's going to see it in some form, but I do have a relationship with him." Following that clip Stephanopoulos asked "if you don't have a relationship with him they why did you say you did in 2013, 2014, and 2015?" Trump's response was "no I...what do you call a relationship? He says nice things about me, I have no relationship with Putin, I don't think I ever met him, I never met him, I don't think I ever met him (George interjects "you would remember if you met him wouldn't you?) Trump responded "yea, I think so." Another clip was played from May 27, 2014 where Trump gave a speech at the National Press Club and said "I was in Russia recently, I was in Moscow and I spoke indirectly, and directly, with President Putin and he could not have been nicer." Cut back to yesterday's interview on ABC/This Week where Stephanopoulos asked Trump directly "you never spoke to him on the phone" and Trump responds "I have never spoken to him on the phone." It went on and on with more clips and more direct contradictions and lies. Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe/MSNBC yesterday show that on November 23 2015 Donald Trump was quoted as saying "I have the world's greatest memory. It's one thing everyone agrees on." And on November 26, 2015 he (Trump) said "Despite having one of the all-time great memories..." Well it seems that if he did then it is failing miserably now. Finally, George Stephanopoulos asked "Why did you soften the GOP platform on Ukraine?" Trump: "ah, I wasn't involved, honestly, I wasn't involved, yea, I was not involved, I like to, ahhh I'd have to take a look at that, but I was not involved." George: "Do you know what they did? Trump: "They softened it, I heard, but I was not involved." George: "they took away the part of the platform calling for the provision of lethal weapons for Ukraine to defend themselves, why is that a good idea?" Trump: "look, I have my own ideas, he's not going into Ukraine, just so you understand, he's not going to go into Ukraine, you can mark it down, you can put it down, you can take it anyway you want." George Stephanopoulos: "He's already there isn't he?" Donald Trump: "Well he's there in a certain way but I'm not there, you have Obama there, frankly that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength your talking about and all of the power of NATO, in the meantime he's going where he takes Crimea, he's sort of..." George: "but you said you might recognize that" Trump: "I'm going to take a look at that, but you know what the people of Crimea, from what I heard, would rather be with Russia, and you have to look at that also." Putin took Crimea by force! What and Who is telling him anything!!!
How Could Anyone Who Reads This, Or Witnessed Donald Trump's Statements Yesterday Alone, Think That He Wouldn't Be a Possibly Fatal Error For This Country?

Hillary Clinton Reverts Back To Original Lies On Sunday Shows - Yes, AFTER They Were Totally Discredited By F.B.I.
Hillary Clinton, Democratic Nominee for President of the United States says F.B.I. Director called her "Truthful" on e-mails. On Fox News Sunday on March 10, 2015 Clinton said "I did NOT e-mail any, um, classified material on my e-mail, there is no classified material." On July 25, 2015 also on Fox News Sunday "I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time...," August 18, 2015 "I had ah, not sent ah, classified material nor received anything marked classified." Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace said to Clinton, on her first interview since the convention "After a long investigation F.B.I. Director James Comey said none of those things that you told the American public were true." Clinton responded {first with the trademark fake smile} "Chris, that's not what I heard Director Comey say {then using 2nd signature trademark when she's answering questions she praises the question and/or the person asking the question} I thank you for giving me the opportunity to, ah, in my view, clarify, Director Comey said my answers were truthful and what I said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the e-mails." Chris Wallace followed up with "But in a Congressional hearing on July 7th Director Comey directly contradicted what you had told the public." At that point he showed a clip from that hearing where Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) asked F.B.I. Director Comey "Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received, was that true?" Director Comey said "that's not true." Rep. Gowdy continued "Secretary Clinton said that I did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail, there is no classified material, is that true?" Director Comey responded by saying "There was classified material on her e-mail." Chris Wallace then said "Not only did he contradict what you said, he also said in that hearing that you were extremely careless and negligent." Clinton: "Well Chris, I looked at the whole transcript of everything that was said and what I believe, number one, I made a mistake, not using two different e-mail addresses, I have said that, and I repeat it again today. It's not anything I would ever do again. I take classification seriously, I relied on, and had every reason to rely on the judgements of the professionals with whom I worked." Joe Scarborough played this same clip on Morning Joe/MSNBC and at this point they cut from Clinton saying what is above and show Joe laughing and he says "Oh my God, she just blamed people, professionals, that she forced to communicate with her through an unsecured e-mail!
Hillary Almost Immediately "Promoted" Debbie Wasserman-Schultz When Leaked E-mails Proved The DNC Conspired Against The Sanders Campaign
How does anyone see Hillary hiring, "Promoting," DWS as "Honorary Chairperson" of her campaign not being first, the biggest slap in the face to Bernie Sanders and his supporters; and secondly, rewarding a co-conspirator for doing the dirty work? Really?! Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) did conspire to hurt the Sanders campaign. She, and the DNC, may have more problems.
Salon, in an article, 10 reasons why #DemExit is serious: Getting rid of Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not enough on July 29, 2016 reported "Shortly after Bernie Sanders publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton a new hashtag trended on Twitter: #DemExit.
The hashtag offered Sanders supporters a chance to vent their
frustrations with the Democratic Party and with the sense that their
candidate had been pressured into an endorsement. Rather than reach out
to these disaffected voters, the Democratic National Committee (DNC)
ignored them."Hillary Clinton has not only been caught lying to the American people on way to many occasions, but as of this past Sunday she has proved that she plans to go on doing the same thing. The fact that she knows she's lying, she knows that people know she's lying, and is arrogant enough to not care says it all.
What Are People Supposed To Do?
There is a third party choice. Green Party Presumptive Nominee for President of the United States, Dr. Jill Stein. Before you close this screen I ask you to read on just a little further. Not many people believe a third party candidate has a snowballs chance in hell in winning the office of the POTUS ninety-nine days from now. I'M WITH YOU! I don't believe Donald Trump has a snowballs chance in hell of winning the 2016 election for President of the United States either. I do believe a strong message needs to be sent to both the Democratic and Republican parties that Americans will fight to stop the media from "blocking" 3rd party candidates from getting any coverage. DecisionData.org 2016 Presidential Media Blackouts: Not Just Conspiracy , The Blaze Sanders Campaign Decries ‘Bernie Blackout’ on Corporate Network News and {although reported by Breitbart - whom I don't usually use as a source but this is a straightforward story} Anonymous Launches Campaign to Oppose Media Blackout of Green Candidate recently published article bringing light to this fact. Call it firing a shot over the bow. |
| Poll 7/30/16 - 7/31/16 76.47% say they would consider voting for a 3rd party candidate |
The next thing people say is "you will draw people away from Hillary and Donald Trump will win, and that's too scary." Well, here's my thoughts on that. If Hillary Clinton can be so arrogant as to totally disrespect Bernie supporters and Bernie himself, what makes you think that she is going to follow-up on ("90% of what Bernie wanted in the platform got into the platform") getting those issues that are important to Bernie Sanders and his supporters that were put into the platform implemented? She went along to get him to endorse her and hopefully draw his supporters over to her. When she saw it wasn't going that way she basically said SCREW YOU ALL when she promoted DWS whom conspired against Bernie. People who didn't like Hillary already and found her "untrustworthy" as 70% of all Americans do are supporting Trump because he says what they want to hear and/or are racist to the bone. I wonder how many Trump supporters actually think he would do the job as President? Although the results of a poll I conducted (results above) had only 17 participants, of those who voted 76.47% said they would consider voting for a third party candidate. The poll remains open. Take the one question poll now.
Send A Message That We Will NOT Be Disrespected and Be Cheated Out Of Our Democracy By The Current Two-Party Corrupt System - Trump Will Not Win the Election, Period
Here are some of the comments I get people whenever I ask if someone they would consider voting for a third-party candidate:1) "I would but I'm afraid to because I don't want Trump to win." Response: Trump will NOT win this election, not even the Republicans want that. Their party has been hijacked by him. Even though this presidential election is the most important in decades due to the fact that anywhere from two to five U.S. Supreme Court Justices will be appointed I do not fear Trump winning. Today on Morning Joe/MSNBC Joe Scarborough said he had talked to someone very close to Trump and that friend said that Trump believes his best outcome to be beat by a half a percentage point so he Could say "the election was stolen" for the rest of his life. This falls right in with what I've believed for some time. Trump would NOT take on the duties of POTUS, he's having fun because he's a mega-narcissist and getting tremendous attention on the campaign. See"Donald Trump Does NOT Want To Be President - He Will Never Take On The Duties of the POTUS" below.
2) "A third-party candidate doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning." Response: No, they don't. But if we send a message that we won't stand for a rigged two party system, AND fight injustices like the media block out of 3rd party candidates, AND that we're done putting up with the current, corrupt, disrespectful, politicians that don't represent us, but represent 1%er's and large corporations, by a noticeable percentage of voters voting for a 3rd party candidate, we CAN CHANGE FUTURE ELECTIONS! The "movement" will be moving forward and growing as the message of "we WILL vote for 3rd party candidates" is acknowledged.
3) "Although I like a lot of what is in Dr. Jill Stein's platform, there are things I disagree with." Response: You're not going to find a candidate running that is for all the positions that you are for, in ANY party. You certainly aren't going to find everything you want in what Trump and Clinton are saying and what they will actually do. Again how can you vote for someone like Trump who yesterday said "she has no right to criticize my campaign, she couldn't even beat Bernie." George Stephanopoulos had to remind him that "she DID beat Bernie," and Trump said "barely." Really?!
4) "What can we really do to get the "movement" or "revolution" to gain traction? Response: We can get behind groups, organizations, activists, that support 3rd party candidates and help their chances for future elections i.e. Anonymous Launches Campaign to Oppose Media Blackout of Green Candidate .
5) "We only have 98 days left before the election, what can we really get done?" Response: We can do a lot. We can get a percentage of the vote to make the two current parties see that we ARE ready to vote for 3rd parties. We can support, and work towards, getting obstacles for 3rd party candidates removed, so that in a future election a 3rd party candidate will actually have a chance to win!
What 3rd Party Candidate Should We Look At If We Were For Bernie Sanders?
Take a look at Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party Presumptive Nominee for President of the United States. Dr. Jill Stein is on the ballot in 47 states at this point.Jill Ellen Stein (born May 14, 1950) is an American physician, activist, and politician. She is currently the Green Party's presumptive nominee for President of the United States in the 2016 election.[1][2][3] Stein was the nominee of the Green Party for President of the United States in 2012,[4][5][6] and was twice a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts—in 2002 and 2010.[7][8][9]
She received 469,501 votes in 2012 (0.36% of the total votes),[10] more than any other female general election candidate.[11] On June 22, 2015, during an appearance on Democracy Now!, Stein formally announced she would seek the Green Party's 2016 presidential nomination.[12] Read More: From Wikipedia
What Platform is Jill Stein Running on?
It's called "Our Power To The People Plan." You'll see that the Green Party and Jill Stein want the same things that Bernie Sanders and his supporters want. See the entire platform here .You've Told Us That The 1%er's Who Own The Media "Block Out" 3rd Party Candidates, Has Jill Stein Gotten Any Media Coverage?
Yes. A Google search for "Media coverage for Jill Stein" brings up much coverage that is favorable to her and can be increased with pressure on media outlets from the people. An example would be "Jill Stein campaign deserves media coverage" by Green Bay Press Gazette. Here's an except: " Jill Stein is on the ballot for Wisconsin and her campaign is working to get on the ballot in all 50 states to give dissatisfied voters another choice in November. In a democratic society, the media should take seriously their responsibility to inform voters about their choices on the ballot. I look forward to the Green Bay Press-Gazette running balanced coverage of Jill Stein as the election approaches." There is much more to read available on the search results page.Donald Trump Does NOT Want To Be President - He Will Never Take On The Duties of the POTUS
A couple months after Donald Trump declared he was running for President, someone interviewing him showed him pictures of former President George W. Bush and of President Barack Obama, they were portrayed wearing garb of the country they were visiting (separate events) and Trump was asked if he would go to other countries and wear their traditional garb. Trump's response was a very quick "NO! no, I would have someone else do that." Donald Trump Jr. was sent to vet Governor John Kasich (R-OH) as a potential running mate for Trump. He asked Governor Kasich what he thought about being the most "powerful Vice President in the history of America." Kasich responded "how would that be?" Donald replied "you would be in charge of ALL domestic and foreign policy." Kasich said "but that's everything, what would President Trump be doing?" Donald Jr. replied "making America great again." This morning on Morning Joe/MSNBC Joe Scarborough said "I'm having a conversation with someone, again, very close to Trump, he told me "Trump doesn't want to lose, but also doesn't want to really win and have to govern, his best case scenario would be to lose by a half of percentage point and be able to say the election was stolen from him for the rest of his life." "This person knows him extraordinarily well" said Joe Scarborough. Given the fact that this reporter is still flabbergasted that so many people say they support and want Trump to be President, I don't believe they will all actually vote for him, and even less think he will actually fulfill the duties and rigorous schedule of a POTUS. Yesterday on the campaign trail Trump told the crowd "I'm afraid the election is going to be stolen ... It takes guts to do this... I could be having a very nice life right now, I don't have to be with "you people" ranting and raving, right, I could be having a very nice life."Yesterday Warren Buffet, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway, and one of the richest men in the world, if not the richest, said "We've both done very well (Trump and himself) during this period and our families haven't sacrificed anything and Donald Trump and I haven't sacrificed anything. But how in the world can you stand up to a couple who have lost a son and talk about sacrificing because you have built a couple of buildings? I asked Donal Trump, have you no sense of decency sir?... "So he names the company after himself...for the next 10 years the company loses money every year, every single year, he takes out $44M in compensation during that period. In 1995 when he offered (Public Stock offering) this company, if a monkey had thrown a dart at the stock page the monkey on average would have made 150%." OH! SLAP! Did you hear it?
Hillary Clinton Will Not Work To Implement Those Issues Put Into The Democratic Platform By Bernie Sanders Influence
HRC basically let Bernie know the deal they made for him to full throatily endorse her in exchange for some of his issues being put into the Democratic Platform wasn't going to be honored, on her part, by working for those issues, when she "promoted" Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to "Honorary Chairman" of her campaign. Yesterday on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace she reverted back to her old lies about her personal server and e-mails even though Chris Wallace showed her where F.B.I. Director Comey proved she was out right lying. She has the audacity to lie to the American people's face because she thinks we're that ignorant, or simply is so arrogant that she doesn't care, or both.Check Out Jill Stein, Presumptive Nominee for the Green Party, for President of the United States - Get the Revolution Moving Forward By Fighting For Things That Are Holding 3rd Parties Back Like The Media Black-Out On 3rd Party Candidates - Vote For Jill Stein And Send A Message That We Will No Longer Take The Corruption, Disrespect, and Business As Usual, That Is The Current 2-Party System.
