Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth FiverThirtyEight - We could be looking at the largest gender gap in a presidential election since at least 1952: Men are favoring the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, in typical numbers, but a historically overwhelming share of women say they will vote for the Democrat, Hillary Clinton. As my colleague Nate Silver has pointed out , women are winning this election for Clinton. Between the historic nature of Clinton’s candidacy, Trump’s record of misogynistic comments and now the Trump tape and allegations of sexual assault against Trump, American men and women are incredibly split on the 2016 election. But that split isn’t symmetrical. In an average of the most recent live-interview polls from each pollster to test the race in October, Clinton holds a 20-percentage-point advantage among women, and Trump is winning more narrowly among men. Apparently women at large are less easily fooled by republican con man DJT, as well as being signi...
RN: I don’t do things to “wee-wee up” anyone, however, I won’t change in order to please anyone either. If Palin’s normal “routine” is to scribble on her palm, then I think she should continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteRN: you know I hold you in high regard. It's with regret that I think you're nuts for defending Sarah Palin for her palm crib notes. I wouldn't have had a problem with them if it was to remember someone's name she just met. Or a couple of dates. Any information that was just given her. I did that as a habit in past careers. But c'mon man. She was a major national candidate. She is one of the faces of the republican party. How in the heck could she not remember "cut spending" "cut taxes" and "lift American spirits" ?
ReplyDeleteAnd then to try and poke fun at Obama because he reads speeches from a teleprompter instead of from a piece of paper like REAGAN did. This woman couldn't even remember three elementary right wing talking points.
She had fame thrust upon her. The only difference between her and Joe the faux plumber is she is attractive.
For God's sakes RN; you're the last hope for the right. Mke them find another hero!
Pamela - I agree. Each to his own methodology. Or what works for the individual. The independent streak is what should be admired.
ReplyDeleteTruth - I am not so much defending Palin, as there is really nothing to defend on this one way or the other, but I am giving here kudos for her handling of the lefts attack on her and the way in which she handled it.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed one of the faces of the Republican Party... Independent conservative anyone? If you catch my drift Truth.
Thank you for your encouraging... "For God's sakes RN; you're the last hope for the right."
I certainly will focus on the next presidential election and the line up of candidates when the time is right. If I see a "heroic" candidate you betcha (to crib Palin) I will line up in their corner.
Of course Ron Paul is unlikely to run in 2012.
