OK. Nate has not been 100% perfect in predictions. He has had to adjust his methodology because of Trump.

• NATE SILVER: Clinton would have a staggering 93% chance of winning the election if it were held today
  
  • Renowned statistician Nate Silver gave Hillary Clinton a nearly 93% chance of winning the general election if it were held Friday, less than two weeks after the same projection showed Donald Trump with a roughly 55% chance of taking the presidency if ballots were cast in late July.

The idiotic way Trump is acting seems to lend credence to the theory that he's a Democratic shill to ruin the Republicans. Can anyone really be as stupid as he seems to be these days?

If he were a Shill, you'd have to believe he was capable of holding up a facade, I don't think he is.

Romney, McCain, Bush, other major Republicans Set to Endorse Libertarian Gary Johnson for President

 

 

 

August 7, 2016

 

 

Mitt Romney, George Bush 41 and George Bush 43, as well as other mainstream Republican party figures, are set to endorse Libertarian Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson next week, say sources within the "Never Trump" movement and other disaffected Republicans.

 

Johnson, the former Republican governor of New Mexico, is known for having balanced the budget during his 8 year tenure. The Libertarian's Vice presidential running mate is also a former Republican governor, William Weld of Massachusetts. No one within the Republican party is especially happy having to endorse businessman Donald Trump. Even Trump supporters such as Newt Gingrich have recently called for an "intervention" or reset of the floundering Trump campaign.

 

Meanwhile, Trump himself repeatedly refused to endorse fellow Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, Sen. John McCain, and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, dismaying Trump's last major ally within the Party, Reince Priebus. Priebus finally got the Donald to endorse Ryan, McCain and Ayotte on Friday, but the damage to party unity is done.

 

So the move is neither far-fetched, nor unexpected. It is also a backdoor to having a Republican ticket consisting of major, experienced party figures, on the ballot in all 50 states. Both Weld and Johnson were Republicans when they were governors of their respective states.

 

Johnson has polled around 10% in recent national polls, against Clinton, Trump, and the Green Party's candidate Jill Stein. Johnson has described Trump as "crazy," "racist," and "a wimp." Weld has said that Trump should look into "another occupation -- really anything other than President of the United States."

 

Newsweek says that the Libertarians "charm" could swing the election.

"Reportedly 13% of US voters say they would rather have a large meteor hit the earth then have either Trump or Clinton as president. And former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has said that he will support the libertarian candidates over Trump or Clinton."

Personally I would rather support Mike Tyson running for White House than Trump.

I hope that those endorsements bump Johnson to at least 15% in the polls. Then, he would be included in the debates and nationally give voters an alternative to Hillary/Donald. If Mitt and George W. Feel that strongly, I hope that they campaign for Johnson also.

“It’s become a perennial news story: A politician uses a hit song on the campaign trail, and the artist makes headlines by voicing his or her disapproval.

 

Most recently, Queen stirred up the conversation on the first night of the Republican National Convention, calling Donald Trump’s use of their song "We Are the Champions" unauthorized. Usher, Michael Bolton, and John Mellencamp promptly appeared on Last Week Tonight With John Oliver to perform a musical plea for politicians to stop using their songs.â€
