I hope this business with the FBI finally shows Democrats that reaching across the aisle is a non-starter. If the Repubs are reaping the result of years of stoking anti-intellectualism and racism the Dems are dealing with the results of always trying to find common ground with them even to the detriment of the people we are supposed to be helping. The GOP is no longer a viable party. They aren't interested in governing. They care nothing about the Constitution.

The lack of media attention to this is proof that Trump is truly becoming the living embodiment of a

 'Teflon Don' (what John Gotti used to be known as).

I don't know the validity of the polls but apparently 2 new polls out have Trump leading in NH. Given that it's a state mostly white and full of a lot of bigots, I'm not that shocked, but it's still part of a bad trend this week. I just wish this was all done already.

President Obama's stats guy from 2012 wrote an Op-Ed that says that national polls do not give an accurate indication of likely voters and that an effective campaign is better off looking at the data from each state.  

This makes sense, especially while I look at the media's claims that Black voting participation is down yet, looking at the 'battleground' state of North Carolina where over a half-million Blacks have already voted, the numbers are saying the quite the opposite.

 

Judging from the polls clusterf*ck of the 2012 race where you had three different national polls painting three very different pictures, I'd agree that the polls that matter most are the polls the voter walks to in order to cast their vote.  All other polls are manipulating numbers.

In other news, Melania Trump just gave a wooden, tepid and poorly received speech about the evils of bullying - yes, this from the Trump campaign - which may or may not have been plagiarized from... wait for it... Marla Maples.

I figured that there must be problems with the story from the woman who claimed Trump raped her at 13. If not the press would have been all over it like white on rice. They certainly did not shy from the Access Hollywood story and this would have been a ratings grabber for sure. I'm not saying she's lying because I do think he's capable of it, but there are issues.

    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!!
