Quote from today's Financial Times:

The right way to view Larry Kudlow's appointment "is as if Trump were to name William Shatner to command the Navy's Seventh Fleet."

During the campaign he said he was pro-health care, and wouldn't cut social security (which he hasn't yet but will if given the opportunity).

But yeah, aside from that, anti-trade and anti-immigrant, he's the Fox GOP, not the Washington GOP.

Re: There are half-wits, and then there are no-wits
 

That's within the margin of error of most polls, so, yeah that's a dead heat.

Re: There are half-wits, and then there are no-wits
 

Whom did you ask, because that is wrong.

I was pretty confident of a Hillary win, but I do recall warning you about the nature of Wisconsin politics.

Re: There are half-wits, and then there are no-wits
 

He's also wrong. RCP leans right-center when they write op-ed, and perhaps with what they select to post. But polls are taken across the spectrum and averaged. Maybe some left friendly poll had her up, but others went the other way. And the average was within a point.

In Illinois, the democrats put up two fake candidates in the speaker's primary race. His challenger has the last name of Gonzales. The Machine put up "two sham candidates with Hispanic last names to split up the Hispanic vote". At least that's what Gonzales's lawsuit alleges.

"The decision also indicates an interest in digging into the time-honored tradition of placing sham candidates on a ballot." Only in Illinois is this a time-honored tradition.

Hold on here. It's "numb nuts"? As in your nuts are numb? Almost 43 years on this planet and until today I thought it was numnuts or num-nuts. Huh.

Poll assistant. Said I had to vote all races or write in someone.

You have two outliers skewing the average. The poll from the closest city to Philly had her up 6 points. The most reputable of that bunch, Monmouth, had her up 4.

I was confident of it as well, and not much concerned about PA politics. Mathematically, it seemed to me that if the Philly ring counties went for Hillary, as predicted, it was impossible for Trump to win.

Philly + Pittsburgh + Philly Suburbs = Democrat win. It's practically a law of physics.

In Montana a Green candidate was on the GOP payroll.

Why didn't you write in "Abstain"? Or A.B. Stain. Or Tyrone Slothrop. You're a lawyer and you couldn't figure that one out?

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
 

Oh I just wanted the opportunity to bash the Chicago Machine. I wrote to my D senators (Durbin and Duckworth) telling them how pissed off I was that they are supporting our unbelievably corrupt speaker of the Illinois house, basically saying that he (Michael Madigan) is the only politician in this country worse than Trump.
