Clinton: It wasn't so long ago that women faced and took down barriers that can seem ridiculous now.




It’s been 96 years since American women won their right to vote—a hard-fought milestone in the long journey toward women’s equality. We’ve come a long way since then, but we still have a shockingly long way to go.

How much do you know about gender equality in America? Take the quiz—it might surprise you:

Has any major party nominee for president in history been less qualified to be president of the United States than Donald Trump?

We set out to answer that question, and after delving into 126 things Trump has done that would have disqualified any other candidate in history, we were—quite frankly—too sad to continue.

Here’s our (incomplete, not-at-all-comprehensive-but-still-terrifying) list of 126 things Trump has said or done that prove just how unfit he is—and how important it is that we all register to vote.

Minnesota Poll: Clinton keeps lead, but Trump gains

WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a narrowing lead over Republican Donald Trump among likely voters in the state, according to a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll.

Clinton leads Trump 44 percent to 38 percent in a poll of 625 registered Minnesota voters taken last week. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The poll reveals a Minnesota electorate that's facing the final stretch of an extraordinary presidential campaign deeply divided by gender and geography. While voters in the Twin Cities overwhelmingly favor Clinton, those in outlying suburban communities and outstate Minnesota give the edge to Trump. Meanwhile, women voters favor Clinton by a large margin, while men favor Trump.

The results also show that Clinton's lead has slimmed considerably in Minnesota since the spring, when a Star Tribune poll found Clinton leading by 13 percentage points. The poll signals particular trouble for Clinton in outstate Minnesota, where her slight lead in late April appears to have eroded completely. Other polls nationally over the past week suggest the race is tightening.

Minnesota voters continue to have deep distrust of Clinton and Trump, the poll shows. Clinton's trust level is lowest in outstate and suburban areas while Trump trails badly among younger voters and those who have lower incomes.

Clinton gains some ground on Trump in Oklahoma, poll shows. Trump 50.9 % Clinton 35.6 %

http://newsok.com/clinton-gains-some-ground-on-trump-in-oklahoma-poll-shows/article/5518562

Donald Trump's lead in Oklahoma's presidential contest appears to be shrinking.

Although the Republican nominee still holds a substantial lead in the race, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appears to be making up ground in the Sooner State, according to a poll conducted this week.

The poll shows 50.9 percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, down from 53 percent in a poll conducted in late July.

Although Clinton still trails Trump by about 15 points, the poll suggests the state's Democratic voters are beginning to coalesce around their party's nominee, said Bill Shapard, founder of the Oklahoma City-based polling firm SoonerPoll.

"The Democrats are kind of coming home," Shapard said.

The poll of 515 Oklahoma likely voters was conducted between September 13-15. It carries a margin of error of 4.32 percent. The poll's results were stratified to represent the state's likely voter population.

Although Trump led among both male and female voters, his lead was strongest among men: 58.5 percent of male respondents told pollsters they planned to vote for Trump, while just 27.5 percent of men said they planned to vote for Clinton.

Among women, Trump led by just 1.6 percentage points, carrying 44.3 percent of female voters to Clinton's 42.7 percent.

Favorability improves

A growing percentage of Oklahoma voters hold a favorable view of Clinton, the poll suggests.

Nearly 35 percent of those polled last week said they had a somewhat or very favorable view of Clinton, a sharp increase from the 26.6 percent who said they viewed Clinton favorably in July's poll.

The polling took place just days after Clinton's health became an issue in the campaign after cameras caught her appearing woozy as she left a 9/11 remembrance ceremony in New York. Clinton's campaign announced the following day that she was suffering from pneumonia.

Trump's favorability rating remains higher than Clinton's, and also increased somewhat: 48.6 percent of respondents told pollsters they held a somewhat or very favorable view of Trump last week, compared with 47.3 percent in July's poll.

The fact that the percentage of undecided voters shrank over the past two months, despite relatively low favorability ratings for both candidates, could indicate that voters in both parties are beginning to coalesce behind their parties' candidates, despite their own misgivings.

“They're just going to have to hold their nose and say they like them,” Shapard said. “ ... Both sides seem to be completely overlooking the blemishes of their candidates.”

If Trump's 51 percent lead carries through to Election Day, it would be the weakest showing in Oklahoma by a Republican presidential candidate in decades.

Trump's challenges

The last time a Republican candidate garnered less than 60 percent of the vote in Oklahoma was in 1996, when Kansas Sen. Bob Dole won the state with 48.3 percent of the vote, besting incumbent President Bill Clinton's 40.4 percent.

During that election, a sizable percentage of the state's conservative vote went to third-party candidate Ross Perot.

Jeanette Mendez, chairwoman of the political science department at Oklahoma State University, said Trump's lackluster support in Oklahoma could reflect the fact that the real estate mogul doesn't resonate well with the state's evangelical Christian voters.

Mendez noted that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a darling of the evangelical movement, beat Trump in the state's primary. Some conservative voters who supported Cruz in the primary may now find it difficult to shift their allegiances to Trump, she said.

“All of the things that Oklahoma voters saw in Ted Cruz, they don't see at all in Trump,” she said.

Still, Mendez said, there's little indication that Clinton stands a chance of winning Oklahoma.

“I just don't think he's in jeopardy in any sort of way,” she said.

Trump tweets "Donald Trump’s birther event is the greatest trick he’s ever pulled"

and links to this article..

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/16/donald-trumps-birther-event-is-the-greatest-trick-hes-ever-pulled/

Simply unbelievable: Donald Trump actually tweeted a link to this story at 1:15am. I truly don't know what to make of that. Did he just like the headline?

Trump did not read the story, it would take time and effort...too many words he would need to look up to understand

Source: The New York Times








"Sieg heil!"

"Fuck you, Hillary!"

"Hang the bitch!"

"Kill her!"

"Trump the bitch!"

"Get out of here, you fag!"

"Fuck that nigger!"

"Hillary Clinton needs to get her ass spanked!"

"Ignorance and immigrants. They mix together!"

"Fuck those dirty beaners!"

"Hillary is a whore!"

Those are some of the comments made by Trump supporters at rallies the Republican nominee for president has made over the past few months, as the New York Times shows in a compilation of various clips they've put together and published today.

The video, clearly, is disturbing, but what's more disturbing is the culture Trump has created, fostered, nurtured, and allowed at his rallies.

Wonderful #WeTrumpHate is a film tweeted by Sofia Bush

This is the America I believe in-Beautiful. Multifaceted. Loving. Inclusive. This is why I'm passionate

https://vimeo.com/182700576

#WeTrumpHate is a film inspired by the values and beliefs that connect young voters in America and a rallying cry to participate in the process this November by electing Hillary Clinton.

WE TRUMP HATE // SCRIPT
We believe in...We.
The People.
The next generation of America
A future where minorities ARE the majority.
We believe…
In bridges over walls.
Education over incarceration.
And many over one.
We believe…
Addiction is a crisis.
Not a crime, not a sentence.
A disease.
We believe…
That prisons are for killers
not for tokers
But the rapists and the brokers who broke us.
We believe….
That 20 veterans
Who put their lives on the line in lands far away
Should not die every day in their own...
We believe…
They should come home.
We believe…
That sickness can be treated
And cures can be created
When healthcare’s not a privilege
It’s a right.
We believe…
That protest
Peaceful protest
is patriotic.
Whether kneeling down or speaking up
Standing still or shouting out.
We believe…
We believe in the fight.
For black lives
Clean water
and a liveable wage.
We fight for these rights
‘Cause they’re right.
We believe…
That public colleges should be affordable
...for ALL.
In equality, not a wall!
This land is my land, your land, OUR land.
We believe...
In faith in one another
Not fear of the other.
That refugees deserve refuge.
And women's rights are human rights.
We believe...
That racism
sexism
homophobia
xenophobia
are real.
We believe they exist just as much as we believe in the possibility of their extinction.
But only if we stand together.
If we believe in...We.
Because in the end, if we believe in each other
Believe in an America where our people are as united as our states.
We trump hate.
