In a conference call with surrogates Wednesday afternoon, Trump aides made clear the Republican nominee is upset that his allies publicly acknowledged they pushed him to change his preparation and tactics before his next bout with Hillary Clinton. And he wants them to stop it immediately.
The message was "not subtle," a source familiar with the call said.
Trump wants his supporters to make an energetic defense of his performance and refuse to concede that he didn't nail it.
Polk County (Florida) will offer 13 days of early voting, or 156 hours, starting Oct. 24 for up to 12 hours a day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The county is increasing the number of days of early voting by five to accommodate the demand after the 2012 election, County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards said. A new location has been added as well.
-Polk has 650,000 people and is 40% minorities, mostly Latinos. I looked on Wikipedia and in their 2010 census, it had a lot more Latinos of Mexican descent than Cuban descent, I wonder if that still holds true now.
Hillary, y'all have a campaign stop lined up there yet?
Ah ok that's interesting, thanks. I like the traditional debate style more but maybe it's because I'm more comfortable with that format after Hillary did really well.
One county in Illinois is seeing an uptick in early voting. This worker's advice on why people should vote early
By 8:03 a.m. all six voters had been processed.
Hulten said he had never before seen a line of voters on the first day of early voting.
“Let’s hope this is a good sign,” he said. Hulten hopes to have 30,000 people vote before Nov. 8. Four years ago there were 20,000 early voters in Champaign County.
“That means we’ll have maybe 60,000 vote on November 8th, which would make things a lot more manageable for our staff and for voters,” he said.
There are several advantages to voting early, Hulten said, one of which is that it keeps various campaigns and political parties from calling you in the weeks before the election.
“They’ll stop mailing you and phone calling you. It’s a nice way to make it stop,” he said. “I can’t turn off the TV commercials, though.”
They're turning on Milo Infighting Milo has some Jewish ancestry so that made them even angrier.
Nazi Site Stormfront Declares “Holy Crusade” Against Milo Yiannopoulos Over His Claim That The Alt-Right Isn’t Racist
"I am hereby declaring a Holy Crusade against Milo Yiannopoulos, who is the single greatest threat our movement has at this time. He is our arch-nemesis. We need to stop this k*ke. Deus Vult! Stormer Book Clubs have formed. The program continues to grow. Now, we have a first mission.
We are going to invade Milo’s events and confront him. If you haven’t joined an SBC: JOIN NOW. We need all the men we can get. Just go on that forum, find your local group and make a post. Look at This: It’s Already Happening. Ghoul’s Facebook meme page is already being overrun by Milo’s k*kebots saying that the Alt-Right isn’t racist or anti-Semitic.
His plan is working. He is taking our brand, our symbols, and turning them against us for a neocon-Jew conservative agenda. He is rewriting our narrative, while taking everything that we have created to use for his own K*KE purposes.
We are going to be at every single event Milo holds, publicly confront him and put it on YouTube. We are going to show his people that the real Alt-Right exists and that we despise him, that the hoax Alt-Right he’s created doesn’t exist.
Get your SBC partners, or your TRS pool party mates, or go alone – and ask him questions during the Q&A, then, if you can catch him afterwards, confront him there. Film it, upload it to YouTube. If you’re worried about exposing your own identity, either film it in such a way so as you are not exposed, or blur yourself."
I think the town hall will be his worst. He hates standing up and addressing voters one on one and even if someone in his camp convinces him that he has to do that, I am absolutely sure that he won't be able to answer audience member questions without rambling, going off in a tangent, making it about himself and just generally not answering their questions lol
CLINTON: Well, let's stop for a second and remember where we were eight years ago. We had the worst financial crisis, the Great Recession, the worst since the 1930s. That was in large part because of tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy, failed to invest in the middle class, took their eyes off of Wall Street, and created a perfect storm.
In fact, Donald was one of the people who rooted for the housing crisis. He said, back in 2006, "Gee, I hope it does collapse, because then I can go in and buy some and make some money." Well, it did collapse.

When he corrected that veteran on veteran's issues
When he corrected that veteran on veteran's issues
Trump: No, it was this number.
Veteran: No, it's this.
lmao....or when he didn't even bother to turn around and face a person who was asking a question in one of the Republican primary town halls. He literally had his back turned to the person lol
I'm lowkey perched for the town hall debate, where Donald will prove that he's incapable of conversing with average Americans who aren't either (1) disgruntled white men at his rallies, or (2) serving him in some capacity.
If Reps thought his performance in the first debate was bad...
If Donald spends the entire night fielding questions from people of color, people with disabilities, queer people, women, and Muslim people and offers only incoherency, insults, ignorance, derision, and unconstitutional and discriminatory policies (imagine him praising stop and frisk to a young black man's face). The Chernobyl of his campaign.
No state may be more important than Florida, with candidates focused especially on the southeast around Miami and also along the so-called I-4 corridor further north, which includes Orlando and Tampa where the Hispanic population is fast growing. Although balloting in the Sunshine State only begins on Tuesday, an unprecedented 2.5 million people have already requested ballots. So far, Republicans are ahead in ballot requests, 43 to 38 per cent.
That, however, is a much narrower gap than was seen in 2008, the last election year for which complete statistics are available. Then, Republicans led requests 51 to 32 per cent and Barack Obama ended up winning the state by a narrow margin.
In North Carolina, which is also a key battleground, early voting ballots are already being returned and so far Democrats are leading Republicans by a healthy margin, according to data gathered by the Associated Press.
