Rasmussen Poll Shows Trump Lead

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/286083-rasmussen-poll-trump-holds-4-point-lead

What's the point of these polls if they're all over the place? It's not like Trump has had a good week.

Polling must be tough with all the millennials with cell phones and most other people screening calls with answering machines.

Hillary Clinton Warns Donald Trump’s ‘Thin Skin’ Would Set Off War or Economic Crisis

Fair or not, this is effective strategy, tapping into swing voters' fears about Trump. Like the atom bomb commercial in 1964.

She's apparently getting better advice than she has been.

That's pretty incendiary to even mention.

Clinton Server Possibilities are Endless

1. Maybe she set the home server up it because she was paranoid about State Department or other government IT/security people having access to information that could be used politically against her. She took her chances with hackers, foreign and domestic.

--1 (a). Maybe foreign hackers got in and real damage was done.

--1(b). Maybe Republicans got in and the Obama DOJ is about to lower the boom on them.

--1 (c). Maybe both Republicans and foreigners got in and and the DOJ can't go after the political hackers without divulging the sensitive information leaked in open court.

--1(d). Maybe people from a government agency got in and a debate is going on whether the wrongdoing of the agency was greater than wrongdoing shown in the e-mails, or in setting the server up in the first place.

2. Maybe it was all a sting in the first place and there was fake information on the server. A honey pot to plant disinformation for foreign hackers. She was cooperating.

--2(a). Maybe Republicans operative(s) hacked in and saw some of the fake information as political ammo to be used in the fall.

----2(a)(1). Maybe the DOJ can't go after the political hackers without divulging the sensitive information as false.


I wouldn't assume anything. The possibilities are almost endless.

Is Wall Street Monolithic?

No. There are plenty of politically conscious, civic minded people with spare money to spend on Wall Street who have good intentions.

But Wall Street as a whole benefits from wealth concentration, the globalization trend, and friendly regulation.

Wall Street also attracts money from all over the world, from nouveaux riche factory owners in China who don't trust their own government to dictators to narco-traffickers. They influence the people who donate to politicians.

It bears watching.
