Trump Will Win Say Professor Allan Lichtman

[Rustic]

Interesting what he says about Trump....

Donald Trump has made this the most difficult election to assess since 1984. We have never before seen a candidate like Donald Trump, and Donald Trump may well break patterns of history that have held since 1860.


We've never before seen a candidate who's spent his life enriching himself at the expense of others. He's the first candidate in our history to be a serial fabricator, making up things as he goes along. Even when he tells the truth, such as, "Barack Obama really was born in the U.S.," he adds two lines, that Hillary Clinton started the birther movement, and that he finished it, even though when Barack Obama put out his birth certificate, he didn't believe it. We've never had a candidate before who not just once, but twice in a thinly disguised way, has incited violence against an opponent. We've never had a candidate before who's invited a hostile foreign power to meddle in American elections. We've never had a candidate before who's threatened to start a war by blowing ships out of the water in the Persian Gulf if they come too close to us. We've never had a candidate before who has embraced as a role model a murderous, hostile foreign dictator. Given all of these exceptions that Donald Trump represents, he may well shatter patterns of history that have held for more than 150 years, lose this election even if the historical circumstances favor it.​

"We've never before seen a candidate who's spent his life enriching himself at the expense of others." This while Hillary has produced nothing in her life. She's a hundred millionaire doing nothing but selling government influence

Hillary is a flawed candidate in terms of personal ethics, but- to her credit, she has accomplished a hell of a lot more than The Donald in public service and she has held to her causes which began long before she was involved in any public offices.

What has The Donald Accomplished? What charities does his foundation work with and donate to and what public works, projects, initiatives has he donated time to? Who has The Donald helped besides himself? (And no, The Donald is not a legitimate charity).


Here’s A List Of Hillary Clinton’s Accomplishments, So Quit Saying She Doesn’t Have Any | Addicting Info | The Knowledge You Crave

You don’t have to like Hillary Clinton or her ideas. I get it. She’s a Democrat, a progressive (in most eyes), and conservatives don’t like that. However, you cannot say she does not have any accomplishments. Here are just a few:

• Even though her major initiative, the Clinton healthcare plan, failed (due to Republican obstruction), you cannot deny that it laid ground for what we have today, the Affordable Healthcare Act, something Clinton supports and would continue.
• She played a leading role in the development of State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage.
• She was also instrumental in the creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act.
• Successfully fought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and asthma at the National Institute of Health (NIH).
• She spearheaded investigations into mental illness plaguing veterans of the Gulf War; we now have a term for it – Gulf War Syndrome.
• At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women.
• She was instrumental in securing over $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment.
• Took a leading role in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services our first responders deserve (Clinton’s successor in the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, passed the bill).
• Was instrumental in working out a bi-partisan compromise to address civil liberty abuses for the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act.
• Proposed a revival of the New Deal-era Home Owners’ Loan Corporation to help homeowners refinance their mortgages in the wake of the 2008 financial disaster.
• Was a major proponent of sensible diplomacy which brought about a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and brokered human rights with Burma.
• Oversaw free trade agreements with our allies such as Panama, Colombia, and South Korea.
• Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date.
• The Clinton Foundation, founded by her and her husband, has improved the living conditions for nearly 400 million people in over 180 countries through its Initiative program.

These are not all of her accomplishments. Her activism on behalf of women a children across the world is renowned. Her activism for raising the minimum wage and combating climate change is stellar. You do not have to support what she does or stands for. But do not say she doesn’t have any accomplishments. The conservatives who say this are the ones who are pushing for Ted Cruz – who brought on a $24 billion shut down. That, to them, is an accomplishment?


Yes, Hillary Clinton has accomplishments. You don’t have to like them, but they do, in fact, exist.​

...and she's a loopy kunt

LOL, the first thing in your list of her accomplishments is something she failed ...

As for the rest, there's no personal accomplishment in there. They were all things she did as part of a group that were funded with someone else's money in which we had no choice, it was taken with guns

They look like accomplishments to me.

Let's see what The Donald has done....

What has he done?

He's not a career politician that puts him at least a fraction higher than any career politician...

Breitbart disagrees.

Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton continues to hold a slight lead over her GOP rival Donald Trump with 44 percent of the electorate compared with his 40 percent, according to the Breitbart News Network/Gravis Marketing poll conducted on Sept. 20 of 1,560 likely voters.

“Our results are virtually the same as in our poll taken Sept. 7 and Sept. 8, where Clinton led Trump 43 percent to Trump’s 40 percent,” said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based polling firm that executed the poll. The poll carries a margin of error of 2.5 percent with a 95 percent level of confidence.

“It’s like voters have settled down from the conventions and everything else and are really waiting for the first presidential debate,” Kaplan said.

Breitbart/Gravis Poll: Hillary Clinton 44, Donald Trump 40

Talking inside baseball: I'd still give Trump a shot because of that 44-40 split. There's still an unaccounted for 16% and who knows how they'd break out on election day. Normally I'd be comfortable saying the leader in the polls would benefit the most from those undecided casting a vote, but this year things are pretty wonky.

It will be all about the debates. I think it is likely that Hillary is going to goad Trump into saying something asinine and that may well secure her victory.

I think everyone is watching expecting Trump will falter. He's been doing fine now he's using a teleprompter, but Trump sans teleprompter is the guy that's given us some pretty outrageous and stupid quotable moments.

Now, if Trump doesn't screw up. If he's just kinda there in a low key manner, I think he comes out of the debate pretty strong. An empty suit Republican would be beating or at least running neck and neck with Hillary. The leads she has enjoyed almost always come from Trump really royally screwing up.

It's a double edged sword for sure for the reason you said, his desire to say completely inane things. However, Hillary is an unpleasant woman, a terrible speaker, arrogant and can't think on her feet. Pressing her could very well lead to her self destruction.

Hillary hasn't given a press conference in a year for that reason. She only will accept, softball, puff questions. Obviously she can't get away with that when Trump can take it to her.

So ... the excitement. Does Trump go for the knock out? If he does, does he knock the ice queen out or does he commit too many self inflicted wounds along the way? TBD

I'd be hesitant if I was Trump. I don't recall all of the details, but Hillary ended up running away with her Senate race after her opponent came off as condescending and bullying. There's that danger here for Trump, especially given how he's talked about women in general.

As for Hillary, she's not very charismatic but she's sharp enough to keep up. The Benghazi panel failed to deliver any knock-out blows despite hours of opportunity to question her live on TV. Underestimating her isn't a wise idea.

I suspect a really aggressive showing for Trump would play right into Hillary's hands. She wants him to look unPresidential and horrible, and she's got a sarcastic wit that could provoke him further.

If Trump comes in measured and low key, he can undo some of the image he's been building of someone unPresidential and vile.

You and your ilk came out because Obama won.

You have pushed race relations back 50 years, which was exactly your wish.

Trump, if elected, will make you cry. He is not racist, and he has no use for your ilk when and if he is elected.

This is kinda like the folks that think the Civil Right movement brought out all the horrible violence in the 50's and 60's.

The only thing that has changed in the last 8 years are people paying attention. Police shooting unarmed folks isn't new. Protests against police violence isn't new. Indianapolis had quite a few protests when I was a kid in the 80's. Hell, riots aren't new.

Folks are paying attention now and they are seeing that something systematic is going on. That's what's really pissing folks off. The Freddie Grey case in Boston exposed that what happened to that kid was a standard practice. The police had a nickname for it. A freaking nickname known about the department. A lot of these cases have exposed longstanding issues folks had with the police departments. Ferguson's relationship with it's police had been broken for a good long time.

So claiming that this all is a brand new problem is quite frankly wrong.

Mass shootings have been around a while too. They've just gotten more attention and more successful. The worst school attack in US history happened in 1926 (the Bath School Disaster). Columbine happened in 1991. Virginia Tech happened in 2007.
