The Mask Is Off

Polling organizations show the race has been tightening for weeks. They have to do this to keep interest of a casual public. Many have predicted Trump will outperform Hillary in swing states such as North Carolina, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Nate Silver, whoever he is, has an outfit called 538. The last week he’s been giving Trump and edge by about two points. Today is election day. They don’t have to pretend anymore.

Celebrity Pollster Nate Silver Calls The Election For Hillary Clinton On Election Eve
As of Monday evening, Silver’s ever-shifting prediction model at the website FiveThirtyEight says Clinton currently has a 70 percent chance to beat Trump in Tuesday’s election.

Emerson College Polling Predicts Clinton Wins By Landslide

A presidential candidate only needs 270 votes in the Electoral College to win, and if Emerson College Polling is accurate—Hillary Clinton will far surpass that amount.
Emerson College is predicting the Democratic nominee will win 323 to 215.
Emerson predicts Clinton will win the swing states of Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Republican nominee Donald Trump is predicted to win Iowa and Ohio.

‘Broward Is Stealing Florida,’ Says Republican National Lawyers Assn.
“As an aside, and a good question is “how many mismatched signatures have there been?” It’s under 100 for 178,000 mail-ins. Clearly, the signature people are approving EVERYTHING.
“Once ballots have been opened, there is no ability to challenge a signature, which is why the opening must be approved by the board in a public meeting.
“To date there have been 178,000+ ballots opened illegally in Broward County.
The SOE public explanation of the affidavit, makes no sense, although apparently it has been accepted by the Broward County state attorney. The state attorney appears to have blessed illegal activity. The explanation based upon the issues about the ballot request forms and the fact that the Pitney Bowes Room is strictly computerized makes no sense.

Final Prediction By UVA’s Center For Politics: Hillary Dominates The Electoral Map
According to the University of Virginia’s Center For Politics, which is headed by longtime pollster and political scientist Larry Sabato, Clinton is going to dominate the electoral map on Election Day.

The year of the Latinos: Hispanic voting surge shaking up presidential election
Experts say that the Republican presidential nominee’s rhetoric on immigration has mobilized Hispanics in a way that has never been seen before. And while most Latinos seem to be voting for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, she is not what is driving them to the polls in record numbers.
WITH HILLARY’S NO-BORDERS SCHEME, BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION THERE WILL BE 4-6 MILLION MORE ILLEGALS, MEXICAN AND MUSLIM, AND THE DEMOCRATS WILL NEVER LOSE ANOTHER ELECTION.

Uh Oh: LA Times (Which Has Trump Leading) Projects 352 Electoral Votes For Clinton
Since September, the LA Times poll has had Donald Trump ahead by anywhere from one to five points. Still, the last poll they conducted had Trump ahead by five points, so what is their Electoral College projection? A massive landslide for Hillary Clinton, with 352 electoral votes:
Our projection would give Clinton 352 electoral votes, while Trump would end up with 186. That would put Clinton’s electoral majority midway between President Obama’s 2008 win and his 2012 reelection.
Of these last picks, Ohio and Arizona were the hardest. Polls have been close in both states.
Ohio does currently seem like a jump ball, but we lean toward Clinton winning there because of the strength of her get-out-the-vote operation.

Clinton Up Six In Latest Virginia Poll
Clinton was ahead with 48 percent to Trump’s 42 percent in a survey by the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University. Clinton’s margin in the state had been as high as 15 percent in previous CNU tracking polls, but her six-point margin held up in the final week.
A swing state that had gone blue in the last two presidential elections, Virginia had seemed so safely in Clinton’s column that both sides pulled TV ads from the state back in the summer.

CBS Preemptively Demands: Will Trump Be ‘Graceful,’ ‘Gracious’ Loser?
Talking to Conway, Rose scolded, “If, in fact, you don’t win and Hillary Clinton wins, can we expect Donald Trump to be a graceful loser who will say, ‘This is America and I want to wish Hillary Clinton the best and offer my support to her as president’?”
As though he can see the future, Rose theorized:
ROSE: Which raises the question if there is this huge turnout of Latinos and huge turnout of educated women who normally only vote Republican in terms of the suburbs, does Donald Trump have only himself to blame?

Clinton Will Win, But Her Victory Will Be Short-Lived
The Party Crasher predicts Clinton will win the Electoral College vote 322-215, capturing virtually all of the swing states, as President Barack Obama did in his 2012 victory. Reports of Trump closing the gap at the end are reminiscent of past elections where the polling margins tightened in the closing days, only to widen back out at the end—including 2012, which was also what followers of the stock market would recognize as a “dead cat bounce.”

Reporter to Clinton: Is America Ready to Accept You?
EXPECT THIS KIND OF HARD-HITTING, PROBITIVE INTERROGATIONS FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS….JUST LIKE THE LAST 8.

One reporter asked Clinton if America finally understands her and is ready to accept her as its president.
“It seems to me over time you’ve been ahead of your time. Often times misunderstood. You have encountered a lot of prejudice. Do you think that today America understands you and is ready to accept you?” the reporter asked.
“Well, I think I have some work to do to bring the country together. As I have been saying in these speeches in the last few days, I really do want to be the president for everybody,” Clinton said.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell jumped in to ask Clinton if she really could do that. Clinton firmly answered yes.
“I love this country and I believe in our people,” Clinton said.
Clinton laughed before her advance team pushed her and the traveling press pool to board the campaign plane.

Andrea Mitchell Loses It Over ‘Extraordinary,’ ‘Magical’ Hillary Rally in New Hampshire
With credit to my colleague Brent Baker for spotting this classic case of Andrea Mitchell flashing her liberal bias, the MSNBC host and NBC News correspondent could barely contain her excitement for a Sunday night Hillary Clinton rally that she described as being both “extraordinary” and “magical.”

Stocks soar on poll predictions of a Clinton victory – and it’s the bank which paid her and her husband millions for speeches doing best
Wall Street sees shares up with the banking sector leading the way as investors believe Clinton will win
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 2.08 per cent, the tech-heavy Nasdaq up 2.37 and the S&P 500 2.22
Goldman Sachs was up more than 3 per cent – it has paid both Bill and Hillary Clinton for speeches
Investors have tended to see Clinton as a more status quo candidate. On the other hand, Trump’s stance on foreign policy, trade and immigration has unnerved the market.
‘Markets like certainty and predictability,’ said Jeff Carbone, co-founder of Cornerstone Financial Partners in Charlotte, North Carolina. ‘I don’t see another 5 percent bump on a Clinton win, but I could see a 5 to 7 percent pullback on a Trump win.’
