This county has not voted Republican since 1992 and HRC lost by 20 points, we must look into PA vote counting.

we lost just because of one message that other side had... jobs jobs jobs jobs

1. He blamed jobs loss to NAFTA and TPP which resonated to voters, heck he got many Obama voters. That is why many trump voters approved Obama according to exit polls.

2. Just think of yourself, how many have felt the grunt of layoffs and jobs being outsourced to cheaper destinations like India, Mexico and other parts of world. Did you not want sometime that someone can stop this movement? Yes I know when I analyze the movement, I come to conclusion that we need to develop new jobs in clean energy and biotech but see all these need educated workforce. There were well paying blue collar jobs that moved and unless we can retrain them, they will not be employed in these areas. If someone promises them that he going to factory jobs back to USA, that will resonate, this is a populist message. Truth is that jobs will not come back, but its too late, we lost most critical election in 21 century, SCOTUS could have reshaped our future.

3. His lies about Ford etc hurt HRC in MI, even though Ford released statement, the message was out, it resonated.

4. He further blamed Obamacare on job loss by saying this hurt business, so people did not worry about loss of healthcare, they though first about themselves which is dependent on JOB.

5. We almost gutted our call centers and they were all located in low cost cities in USA, where do these people and go and work, there is nothing for them. I can see how they are hurt and they are looking to blame someone. These fellow citizens of ours are suffering. One thing democrats missed is that we ignored these voters, President Obama should have worked on something that directly targeted this electorate, they are rural but were blue collar, working class. We should have launched major initiative to create new jobs with help of special federal incentives to move jobs in these areas, this is where we screwed... its too late and I doubt Don has will to do this.

7. I goto India for business very often and I can see the vibrant economy that is flourishing and I pause everytime to think that most of these young indian workforce took a job of someone back home. Whatever happened, I know as well that there was probably no way we could have stopped this but truth is bitter.


I can go on and on...

Meliana Trump can loose US Citizenship, there is precedent, she must be tried and deported

To where the heck she came from...

http://www.ocregister.com/news/ahmadzai-173471-citizenship-appeal.html

=======

As a child, Ahmadzai and his family fled the war in his native Afghanistan and was granted asylum in the United States. He obtained a green card and became a U.S. citizen in 1994.

Years later, federal immigration officials realized Ahmadzai had failed to disclose on his citizenship paperwork that he had past convictions for false impersonation, drug sales and battery. They brought a case against him for naturalization fraud, which he lost last year.

That led U.S. District Court Judge James V. Selna to order that Ahmadzai be stripped of his U.S. citizenship if he fails to win his case on appeal.

"It's as if the order is signed and post-dated," said David Kaloyanides, Ahmadzai's attorney.

Naturalized U.S. citizens can lose their status if they are found to have obtained their citizenship through fraudulent means -- but such cases are relatively uncommon, said Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office.

Wearing a mint green prison jumpsuit, Ahmadzai pleaded with the court to reduce his sentence due to his past collaboration with the Irvine police department as an informant on drug cases.

========
Application for citizenship N-400 specifically ask following questions:

12. Have you EVER persecuted (either directly or indirectly) any person because of race, religion, national origin, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion?

YES

22. Have you EVER committed, assisted in committing, or attempted to commit, a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested?

YES

State of EV in Nevada: HCR builds insurmountable lead

https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/794616228103028736

NV: Almost 700k votes in - tough landscape for Trump. Dems are +6% in EV, and 28.8% of Dem EV didn't vote in '12 (25.5% of GOP).

==========================================

Consider this 2012 elections total votes casted were 1.1 out of those two counties amounted following totals:

Clark: 691,190 or 68.10% of total, Obama won by 100k votes
Washoe: 187,855 or 18.51% of total Obama won by 8k votes

Final: (Obama)531,373 (Romey)463,567 ... Difference is 67k votes

Total active voter registrations: 1,464,819 since Nov 04, 2016
http://nvsos.gov/sos/home/showdocument?id=4518

2012 turnout was 56% based elect project.org but we can probably get to 75% turnout this year which will amount to 1098614 votes, remaining votes are 398614 and Dem Lead is 42000

Trump need to win by 10.5% in pending votes on Election day to carry this election, this is exactly like what Jon Ralston pointed out:

Jon Ralston ?@RalstonReports 2h2 hours ago
Jon Ralston Retweeted Sam Stein
Not sure about that, but: Trump is not going to win NV by 10 points on Election Day. Not even a Jim Carrey in "Dumb and Dumber" chance.

I further have a hunch the Republicans are cannibalizing election day votes. which makes above task even more impossible.

Breaking WP: Donald Trump was recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005(Text)

“Whoa,” another voice said.

“I did try and f--- her. She was married,” Trump says.

Trump continues: “And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they her look.”

At that point in the audio, Trump and Bush appear to notice Arianne Zucker......

“Your girl’s hot as s---, in the purple,” says Bush, who’s now a co-host of NBC’s “Today” show.

“Whoa!” Trump says. “Whoa!”

“I’ve gotta use some tic tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says.“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even
