According to a just-released PPP poll, Donald Trump is dominating the early primary state of New Hampshire. Incredibly, Trump beats his second place GOP rival, Ohio Governor John Kasich, by more than 3 times the support, 35% to 11%. Here’s the full rundown, which shows Walker, Rubio, and Bush in serious trouble. Trump 35% Kasich 11% Fiorina 10% Bush/Walker 7% Carson 6% Christie/Cruz/Rubio 4% — Since their last poll, Cruz has dropped -10 points, Paul lost -8, and Walker has completely cratered with a stunning -17 point drop. Walker, who was in first place with 24% support, is now tied for 4th place and sitting at just 7%. Trump’s 35% showing again proves that his ceiling of support continues to climb. The media a Republican Establishment had openly hoped the billionaire businessman would get stuck below 25%. According the Real Clear Politics poll of New Hampshire polls, Trump enjoys a

Jeb Beats Hillary In Michigan; Trump Down Only -2
The bad news for Hillary Clinton just keeps getting worse. In the last presidential election, Michigan was safely in Democrat hands — bluer than blue. A poll released Tuesday, however, shows a sea change. Jeb Bush currently leads Hillary by +5 points, 45% to 40%. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is only -2 points behind Hillary, 42% to 44%. Just last month, Hillary beat Jeb 40% to 37%. Currently, Michigan has a Republican governor, Senate and House. While the media focuses on states like Virginia turning blue (because they are all narcissists who live in Virginia and like to report on themselves), in the Rustbelt a change is afoot. And not just Michigan. Pennsylvania is also looking like a potential 2016 GOP pick up. Trump’s appeal to Michigan voters is obvious. White working class voters all along the Rustbelt have been ignored for decades by both Parties. Trump’s relentless talk about
Narrative Buster: Against Hillary, Trump Polls Better Than Bush with Non-Whites
One of the top talking points the media and the Republican Establishment are using to scare GOP primary voters away from Trump is the idea that his blunt talk on immigration will so alienate minority voters he won’t have a chance to win the presidency. CNN’s latest poll, however, shows that the billionaire businessman actually does better than Establishment-favorite Jeb Bush with non-white voters. In a head-to-head match-up with Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush wins only 23% of the non-white vote. Hillary win 72%. That’s a difference of -49 points. Trump loses the non-white vote by -47 points, 71% to 24%. The +2 point difference in Trump’s favor is within the poll’s margin of error but blows away the idea that Jeb’s pandering to the Left and media on the issue of border security is the key to Republicans taking back the White House. When you look at all registered voters,
Pro-Trump Focus Group Make Frank Luntz’s Legs Wobble
After overseeing a focus group of 29 fervent Donald Trump supporters, Republican pollster and consultant Frank Luntz told a group of reporters that, “My legs are shaking.” Although the Middle East is in chaos, our Southern border is in chaos, and our inner-cities are in chaos; although we are entering our seventh year of economic malaise as the national debt tops $18 trillion, the so-called Smart People in politics and media still can’t quite figure out why a wildly successful businessman promising change and to stick it to these same Smart People, is so danged popular. Maybe the focus group — made up of 23 whites, 3 blacks and 3 Hispanics — woke some of them up: [emphasis added] “When Trump talks, it may not be presented in a pristine, PC way, but we’ve been having that crap pushed to us for the past 40 years!” said another man. “He’s
‘Bimbo’: Donald Trump Reignites Megyn Kelly Feud, Mocks Jeb
The ever-combative Donald Trump used his Twitter account Monday night to re-launch attacks on both his Republican presidential rival Jeb Bush and his media rival, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. Kelly, who is just returning from a two-week vacation, was accused by Trump of being “off her game” and “afraid. — .@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2015 – Trump also mocked Kelly’s “unscheduled vacation.” This is a reference to their pre-vacation feud that began during the Fox News debate. With her withering debate questions, Trump (and many others) believe Kelly singled out Trump for destruction. Immediately after the debate, Trump harshly criticized Kelly, which led to a three day media furor. Kelly then left for what she said was a scheduled two week vacation.
Countdown: The 165 Greatest American Movies Ever Made (70-165) *UPDATED*
New additions to the countdown appear at the top. Full list is below… *** Annie Hall (1977) The most WoodyAllen of all Woody Allen movies won four major Oscars (picture, screenplay, director, and actress) and for decades to come changed the course of the American romantic comedy. Allen’s narrative has no respect for linear storytelling, or even story-story. What started out as a murder mystery morphed into an insightful, hilarious, and oftentimes touching autopsy of a failed relationship. Every scene is a gem; an exquisite short film all its own. The Wild Bunch (1969) The anti-hero was nothing new to the Western in 1969. Although he’s given no credit, by this time, John Wayne had already played a handful of them. With his masterpiece, director Sam Peckinpah took the idea of the anti-hero a step further. He made villains — a group of murderous bank robbers — our heroes,
As Stocks Melt Trump Tweets: America Is Too Tied to China
As the American stock market opened to lows unseen since the 2008 economic meltdown, (as of this writing it is down only 373 points — a fairly typical down day), Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter to refresh his longstanding political message that the American economy allows “China and Asia to dictate the agenda”: — As I have long stated, we are so tied in with China and Asia that their markets are now taking the U.S. market down. Get smart U.S.A. — Donald J.

George Wallacing: The Proud Ignorance of Trump’s Race-Baiters at Politico
Comparing George Wallace to Donald Trump is anti-science. That, however, did not stop Politico “reporter” Ben Schreckinger from exposing his shrill historical ignorance on the front pages of the left-wing Politico this morning. In a lead piece titled, “Donald Trump, Alabama and the Ghost of George Wallace,” Politico painfully avoided what some of us like to call The Obvious: George Wallace was a Democrat. Donald Trump is a Republican. Motivated by racism, Democrat George Wallace broke the law to further the cause of racial separation, or segregation. Trump wants to enforce immigration laws. Motivated by racism, Democrat George Wallace violated federal law. Trump wants to enforce immigration laws, which are federal laws. This is my favorite line from Schreckinger’s desperately dumb race-bait: The vast majority of supporters where white: of over 1,000 people waiting to enter on the east of the Ladd Peebles Stadium at 5 p.m., eight were black.
Trump Calls Out Race-Baiting ABC News Reporter Tom Llamas
With his hysterical gotcha attacks over the use of the innocuous term “anchor baby,” ABC News reporter Tom Llamas has become the left-wing network’s race-baiter-in-chief this week. On top of being a race-baiting grandstander, Llamas has exposed himsel…
Countdown: The 165 Greatest American Movies Ever Made (80-165) *UPDATED*
New additions to the countdown appear at the top. Full list is below… *** Cape Fear (1962) Robert Mitchum had a flashier villain role in “Night of the Hunter.” As Max Cady, though, in director J. Lee Thompson’s “Cape Fear,” there is no flash, just the underrated actor’s barrel-chested sexual magnetism. When Mitchum tells Gregory Peck, “I got somethin’ planned for your wife and kid that they ain’t never gonna forget,” nothing in Martin Scorsese’s graphic, R-rated 1991 remake tops the horror- show that plays out in your own mind. Unreliably tense from open to close and one of Bernard Hermann’s finest non-Hitchcock scores. Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet (1940) Proving once again that he was the finest actor to never take home an competitive Oscar, Edward G. Robinson perfectly embodies a spine of steel behind the front of a buttoned-down physician constantly at war with The System on his
