Trump ahead in key swing states (are there any other kind)?:
Updated
Did Donald Trump really just surge past Hillary Clinton in two of the election's most important battlegrounds?
New swing-state polls released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University show Trump leading Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania — and tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio. In three of the states that matter most in November, the surveys point to a race much closer than the national polls, which have Clinton pegged to a significant, mid-single-digit advantage over Trump, suggest.
Let me under-think and over-simplify this: Is it reasonable to suggest we are looking at a "Change versus More of the Same" election, to borrow the Clinton/Carville '92 formulation? Subtle global hints such as Brexit or, I don't know, Trump's coup of the Republican Party and the prolonged Bernie Who insurgency suggest it might be.
And (the questions will get progressively more difficult), of the Trump/Clinton choice, who represents change and who represents a continuation of the Chamber of Commerce Democratic/Republican Beltway coalition that has alienated and impoverished Middle America with trade deals and uncontrolled immigration for the last few decades? Hmm, there might be a slight residual pollster bias in that question.
Hillary and her supporters want to pretend that electing a woman to continue the corporatist/statist regime of the last few decades represents "change". Please. She is the "More of the Same" candidate.
And how has "More of the Same" been working out in the last few weeks? Not so well.
I'm more excited about Hilligula being behind than I am about Trump being ahead, but that's just me.

Posted by: Captain Hate | July 13, 2016 at 11:56 AM
From what I read in the papers, Trump is in trouble. He doesn't have Hillary's billions and every right minded thinker in the country is agin' him.
He has stumbled time and again and even Stanley McChrystal has ruled himself out of contention for the VP slot. RBG has threatened to leave the country and I'm sure the Wise Latina and the Fireplug are equally upset albeit more discreet. Breyer may have to issue a ruling from the bench, for goodness sake if this continues.
I just cannot explain these polls. I feel a bout of the vapors coming on.

If the Republicans had any kind of a decent candidate, they would win the White House in a walk. She is a terrible candidate running as "more of the same" in a year when the country is hungry for a change.
Of course, this was pointed out to the primary voters before this and they went ahead and did what they did. Too late to change that now.

It took me all of 40 minutes and 35 specific steps to disassemble Frederick's 11" MacBook Air. Having the proper tool kit from IFIXIT plus the magnetic flex white board for keep parts in order really helps. There are some ingenious electronic details and especially the mother board layout.
Now I will await Master Frederick's return from Camp on Saturday so he can work with me to see how we can fix the darn thing now that it is pieces. Looks to be a connectivity issue with the board cable to the display unit. That and fixing up the hinges.

Of course, this was pointed out to the primary voters before this and they went ahead and did what they did. Too late to change that now.
It was pointed out to the other candidates and the GOP leadership early last fall that GOP primary voters were very upset about immigration, among other issues Trump was campaigning on, and VERY angry at DC business as usual, and none of them listened.
It was pointed out to the Nevertrump whiners as early as December that they ought to come together behind a single anti-Trump candidate, so that the votes of those who weren't supporting Trump wouldn't be split several ways (thus ensuring Trump's victories in so many primaries), and none of them listened.
I could go on, but you know all this and you never, ever respond to it, nor do any of the folks who remain vocally NeverTrump.
I am very, very tired of hearing from the people who had 56% of the GOP primary voters, the full support of nearly all the party's institutional and "intellectual" leadership, and over $600 million, and still could not beat a political newcomer who had a skeleton staff, virtually no formal party support, 1/10 the money of his opponents, and only 44% of the party's voters.
You want to keep complaining about Trump being the nominee? You want to blame somebody? Look in the (REDACTED) mirror, OK?

Charles Payne having a nice chat with Nigel Farage on this day when Cameron leaves and Teresa May takes over as Britain's next Prime Minister. Nigel makes the point that the first Prime minister that had an audience with this current Queen was Winston Churchill.
Nigel says he will be at the RNC Convention next week, but doesn't know if he will be asked to give a speech. He also mentions that he is a good friend of Jeff Sessions. Very impressive.

Teresa May sounds very much like a Democrat. Praises Cameron for Same Sex Marriage and for some increases in the Welfare system. Wants to close the pay gap between workers and bosses.

The msm constantly lies about him, his statements, his acts, and his motives, so it's no wonder the people who read that crap are depressed about him
Here's an idea, why not pay attention to what he is actually saying and doing instead of letting pro-commie sources be your filters, taking little snips out of context to build their lies.
It's really no wonder that the Republicans have been plagued with such pishpoor leadership.

Do not compare the Tory party of the UK with what we call conservatives. They are more closely related to the Scoop Jackson wing of the old Democrat party. May is closer to a Clintonista than a Cruz or Trump even. She evens accepts some value from Sharia law.
Farage and Hannan are "conservatives" in our vernacular but Hannan is a member of the Tory party for European parliament. In fact, Hannan is more like a Ron Paul conservative.

Looks like you have to go to the UK papers to get an honest take on the mood in the German Street: German teachers boycott leavers' ceremony after Muslim pupil refused to shake hands with female staff
Teachers in Germany have set off a national controversy after they boycotted their own school’s leavers’ ceremony in protest at a Muslim pupil who refused to shake hands with a female member of staff...
“I’m not doing this out of disrespect, but for religious reasons”. (said the Muslim student)...
While the pupil’s original refusal has been the subject of hot debate in Germany, the teachers’ boycott has been widely condemned.
“It also punished the other students who had been looking forward to celebrating finishing school with all their teachers. And did it help?” Heike Klovert wrote in Spiegel magazine.

How ironic that an unethical, blonde, mendacious Democrat has been banned from her field for two years for gross negligence involving blood tests but the one who through gross negligence exposed vital national secrets to foreign governments got off scot free and is running for president.

(Harvard professor)Mr. Fryer, who is black, told The New York Times that the finding of no racial discrimination in police shootings was “the most surprising result of my career.”
I would have thought that the “the most surprising result of my career.” might have been the story from last month where the researchers at the "American Journal of Political Science," who did that huge study that "proved" that Conservatives are authoritarian psychotics and Liberals are mentally stable and wonderful people, admitted that they had reversed the data in their huge finding and it was actually Liberals who were the nutcase fascists and Conservatives were the sane folks in America.
EPIC CORRECTION OF THE DECADE
the authors regret that there is an error in the published version of “Correlation not Causation: The Relationship between Personality Traits and Political Ideologies” American Journal of Political Science 56 (1), 34–51. The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed.
Thus, where we indicated that higher scores in Table 1 (page 40) reflect a more conservative response, they actually reflect a more liberal response. Specifically, in the original manuscript, the descriptive analyses report that those higher in Eysenck’s psychoticism are more conservative, but they are actually more liberal; and where the original manuscript reports those higher in neuroticism and social desirability are more liberal, they are, in fact, more conservative.
That should have been the “the most surprising result of
myHis career.” I'll give him a break though, since as a Liberal he's psychotic:)Posted by: daddy | July 13, 2016 at 02:02 PM

HL Mencken
Good choice.
Alistair Cooke has a good book on H.L.

A small part of me suspects that was just part of the study; "let's mess with their heads for awhile then reverse the results and see what happens..."

Old Nate was wrong about Trump and now he is wrong about Hillafy.
He is paid to predict her as the winner despite the facts.

"Clinton blows"
Of course she doesn't. That's why Billy Jeff had Monica.
