CNN may have accidentally recorded itself coaching a member of its focus group about what to say following Sunday night’s presidential debate.
A video uploaded to YouTube shortly after Sunday’s debate shows CNN discussing the debate’s events with a focus group of undecided Ohio voters, only to have a live microphone reveal more than intended.

A Viewer Writes: Pocomoke Stench
Do you know anything about the putrid stench that is emanating from the Pocomoke river? Just as soon as I started crossing over it this morning this smell entered my car. It smelled of decomposing bodies and feces. You could smell it all the way to the McDonald's (I'm not insinuating that it was McDonald's stinking).
Paul Ryan Operative Was Leak of Trump Tape
 |
| Dan Senor, Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan - RINO Operatives trying to sabotage Trump |
"They're firing every Trump loyalist in their efforts to sabotage him. It's disgusting what they're doing to him... but I'm still behind him 100%!" claims Stewart.
The RINOs like Ryan, Mitt Romney and the Bushes are still working to get Trump out after he obviously struck a deep nerve over the 28-pages from 9/11 as well as a host of other misdeeds Republicans have perpetrated during the Obama presidency and before.
The culprit is Dan Senor, a man who worked for Romney/Ryan in 2012. His Twitter profile, listed above, and his wife, Campbell Brown, at NBC leaked the tape to the Washington Post to shield Bushes, Romney and Ryan's involvement. It was a specific act to sabotage Trump!
Ryan then came out and said he would not support Trump's bid -- while stopping short of revoking his endorsement. However, if you think about it, he's not been campaigning for him the whole election season even though he enjoys the millions Trump has raised for Republican candidates.
This revelation has spurred many Trump supporters to now rally around Ryan's Wisconsin Democrat rival to help him in his bid to oust him. Furthermore, many have started inundating Capitol Hill to force Ryan to resign from Speaker of the House effective immediately as well as kick him out of the GOP party.
Side note: Remember Paul Ryan and Ben Sasse (R) received $25K hush money for several years to cover up a congressman's pedophilia in the now-defuncted Congressional Page (young boys) program. The hush cover up centered around Republican leader, Dan Hastert, a notorious lifelong pedophile. There is talk that both have been partaking in many self-enrichment deals and both have amassed large sums of money from said deals at the expensive of American taxpayers.
Is this what you want in your government? Corruption, lies, deception, backstabbing and self-enrichment at all costs to the Americans working everyday to provide for our families - not to mention the sense of 'fair-play' and decency?
This election is no longer about political parties, it's about the American Taxpayers verses pure this corruption on every level!
Information is YOUR power to vote wisely.

Whistleblower: Martha Raddatz Covered Up ACORN Scandal Before 2008 Election
One of the co-moderators of the presidential debate in St. Louis, ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz, sat through the 2008 election on a major political corruption story that could have changed the trajectory of the election.
Raddatz, Breitbart News has learned, refused to publish a story on the alleged improper collusion and coordination between then Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and the national headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also known as ACORN—despite having enough evidence to do so.
Raddatz, along with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, will co-moderate this upcoming Sunday evening’s presidential debate between GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.
After she and her producer received a tip about ACORN corruption—and Obama’s connection to it—and evidence backing up the eventual whistleblower’s claims, they showed initial interest in pursuing the story. Anita Moncrief, the eventual ACORN whistleblower told Breitbart News exclusively that she met with Raddatz’s producer Avni Patel in 2008.
Both Patel and Raddatz were given documents that they covered up and refused to report on until after the election.

BOOM! Trump Tells Hillary: 'If I win, I will appoint special prosecutor to investigate you'
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made one of his most forceful attacks at the second US presidential debate when he told Hillary Clinton he would assign a special prosecutor to investigate her email scandal.
ASSANGE WAITS FOR HOUR BEFORE DEBATE, RELEASES HILLARY CONFESSING TO IT ALL
Bill and Hillary have operated their foundation as a global money laundering initiative since its inception. This fact has been proven, several times over, and there’s enough evidence of illegal activity to imprison everyone involved for a thousand lifetimes. But, as FBI Director James Comey has made abundantly clear, laws are for poor people. How ironic; if you illegally make enough money, your actions suddenly aren’t illegal anymore.
We here at Conservative Daily Post don’t believe any amount of money could put someone above the law, so we like to dig around and find evidence that might place the Clintons and their cronies away for another thousand lifetimes.
It has long been supposed that Hillary used her office as Secretary of State to manipulate the global economy in order to garner more funds and get more donors, and then even more power over and over again. Supposed, documented, proven, but there has always been one thing missing; a confession. We may have found it.

GAMECHANGER: New WikiLeaks Confirms Hillary DELIBERATELY, Criminally Deleted Emails
This is from a conversation among her staffers…
In the excitement of last night’s debate and the recently released Trump tape, you may have missed the latest WikiLeaks dump. Convenient, right? In case you missed it, the latest emails reveal quite a bit: how Hillary really feels about gay marriage, a “hit file” on Bernie Sanders, and more. But most importantly, regarding her email scandal, it shows some rather damning evidence. Yes, even more damning than her cackle lines. They seem to confirm Hillary deliberately deleted certain emails. Oops.
This is from a conversation among her staffers…
Ok, one thing to use personal email, but why the “twisted truth” on why – with the two problematic areas being (a) emails to bill (when they were to bill’s staff) and (b) i only used one device — [Blackberry], when 2 weeks earlier, it was an iphone, BB and ipad. As Ann and I discussed, hopefully that’s a timing issue and whilst in state, she only used one.
I know when I talk to my friends who are attorneys we are all struggling with what happened to the emails and aren’t satisfied with answers to date. While we all know pf the occasional use of personal email addresses for business, none of my friends circle can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server for secure documents AND why further Hillary took it upon herself to review them and delete documents without providing anyone outside her circle a chance to weigh in.
It smacks of acting above the law and it smacks of the type of thing I’ve either gotten discovery sanctions for, fired people for, etc.
You can tell this is an email between Hillary staffers because they used the word “problematic.”

You won’t be seeing the mainstream media cover the new info from WikiLeaks. Why? They, like the Democrat Party, want to keep this hush hush. It’s not very flattering for ol’ Hill. Then again, nothing really is…

Kathy Shelton: How the Pro-Clinton Media Will Smear Rape Victim Who Hillary Helped Destroy
Clinton knew her rapist fooled a lie detector test and laughed about it
The lawyer who defended the child molester who left Shelton in a coma and helped him get away with it was none other than Hillary Clinton.
The Clinton mouthpiece media will almost instantly try to smear and discredit Shelton’s story by asserting that ALL rapists are represented by lawyers, and that Clinton was merely fulfilling her role as a lawyer who was asked to take on the case.
This is NOT the issue.
The issue is that Clinton knew the rapist – Thomas Alfred Taylor – fooled a polygraph test. She is on tape admitting that Taylor fooling the lie detector test “forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.”
In other words, Clinton knew Taylor had raped Shelton, but defended him anyway, helped him get off with just 2 months in jail, then laughed about it.
Hillary Clinton knew that Thomas Alfred Taylor had brutally raped Kathy Shelton yet set out to smear Shelton’s character and help her rapist go free.
These are not the actions of a “feminist” or a “womens’ rights champion.”

New Wikileaks Emails: Clinton Campaign Insiders Fear Bill's Sex Life Could Sink Hillary
A new Wikileaks email dump released today reveals that some Hillary campaign insiders are petrified that Bill Clinton’s sordid sexual past could severely damage Hillary’s chances.
The revelation is of particular note because it dovetails with Donald Trump holding a press conference yesterday before the debate with three of Bill Clinton’s sexual abuse victims.
The email, which is marked “confidential,” was sent to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta by prominent left-wing journalist Brent Budowsky. It includes details of Budowsky’s exchange “with someone in the media,” who told him that, “there are people close to the Clintons who says WJC’s (William Jefferson Clinton) sex life could be damaging to her.”
Although Budowsky stresses his view that the more Bill Clinton the better for Hillary, he adds that, “there were people purportedly close to the Clintons pushing the line that the less WJC the better.”

List of Hillary Tax Hikes
Trillion dollar tax hike
– Hillary’s tax hike proposals will raise taxes on the American people by over $1,000,000,000,000 over the next ten years, based on her campaign’s own numbers.
Payroll Tax Hike – Hillary said she would not veto a payroll tax increase on all Americans should such a bill reach her desk. She said she would set her middle class tax pledge aside. This took place Jan. 12 in Iowa, and it’s on video:
Moderator: “Democrats have introduced a plan that Senator Sanders supports that you’ve come out against because it is funded by a payroll tax. If that were to reach your desk as President, would you veto it in order to make good on your tax pledge?”
Hillary Clinton: “No. No.”
Soda Tax Hike – Hillary endorsed a steep new soda pop tax in Philadelphia. This will cost soda purchasers an extra $2.16 per 12-pack. Bernie Sanders called out Hillary’s violation of her middle class tax pledge:
"Frankly, I am very surprised that Secretary Clinton would support this regressive tax after pledging not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. This proposal clearly violates her pledge," he said.
Sanders also said: “The mechanism here is fairly regressive. And that is, it will be increasing taxes on low-income and working people.”
25% National Gun Tax – Hillary endorsed a new national 25% retail sales tax on guns. “I am all for that,” she told the Senate in 1993. On June 5, 2016 she was asked about her gun tax endorsement by George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week. She acknowledged her gun tax endorsement and did not disavow it, saying she wanted the gun tax money to pay for Hillarycare. If you have any doubts about her strong desire to impose a new gun tax, watch her face in the video.

State Dept. And White House Coordinated To ‘Crush’ Clinton Email Coverage
“Think we can get this done so [Kerry] is not asked about email.”
The State Department and White House coordinated to shield Sec. of State John Kerry from being asked last March about Hillary Clinton’s emails in an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” newly released emails show.
“Think we can get this done so [Kerry] is not asked about email,” Jennifer Palmieri, then the White House’s communications director, wrote to then-State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on March 12, 2015, two days after Clinton held her first press conference to answer questions about her email practices.
The emails were obtained by the Republican National Committee in a lawsuit and viewed by The Daily Caller. The Wall Street Journal and Washington Examiner also reported on the documents.
Involved on one email chain discussing Kerry’s CBS appearance was Benjamin Rhodes, President Obama’s deputy national security advisor for strategic communications.

High Alert: The Election Can Still be Rigged
System can be used across the entire US
I’m reposting this piece because, amazingly, the vote-rigging system it describes has not gotten widespread attention. The system can be used across the entire US.
As we know, there are a number of ways to rig an election. Bev Harris, at blackboxvoting.org, is exploring a specific “cheat sheet” that has vast implications for the Trump vs. Hillary contest.
It’s a vote-counting system called GEMS.
I urge you to dive into her multi-part series, Fraction Magic. Here are key Harris quotes. They’re all shockers:
“Our testing [of GEMS] shows that one vote can be counted 25 times, another only one one-thousandth of a time, effectively converting some votes to zero.”

Recent Criticisms?
"He's nothing but a B-List TV personality. He has no business being in politics."
"He's been divorced and remarried. He can't commit to anything."
"He's dangerously ignorant about international affairs. The Russian leaders will walk all over him."
"He has no filter - doesn't think before he speaks."
"Until recently, he was a Democrat. He's not a real Republican. He hasn't paid his GOP dues."
"He used to be Pro Choice. Now, suddenly he's Pro Life?"
"That can't be his real hair!"
"He's a loose cannon. No one wants HIS finger on the nuclear button."
"His opponent has the experience and political savvy to be president. He does not."
"He's just not presidential."
"His temperament disqualifies him from ever being Commander-In-Chief."
"He's proven himself to be mentally unstable."
"The military will never accept him as Commander-In-Chief. He's not smart enough."
"The GOP doesn't want him to be the head of the party. He could never reach across the aisle to get anything done."
"Most Republican voters will just stay home rather than go out and vote for him."
"He's almost 70. Much too old to be president."
"Evangelicals will never support him."
"He says '(Let’s) Make America Great Again'. How dare he say we aren't still great?!?!"
"His intellect is thinner than spit on a slate rock.”
"90 percent of Republican state chairmen judge him guilty of 'simplistic approaches,' with 'no depth in federal government administration' and 'no experience in foreign affairs.'"
"His spontaneity with reporters and voters plays well but also gives him plenty of space to disgorge fantasies and factual errors so prolific and often outrageous that he single-handedly makes the word gaffe a permanent fixture in America’s political vernacular. He confuses Pakistan with Afghanistan. He claimed once that trees contributed 93 percent of the atmosphere’s nitrous oxide..."
"After all his gaffs, he doubles down on them instead of admitting he made a mistake."
"He's threatening to upend our treaties and relationships with our allies by demanding that they pay for their own defense!"
"Because of his gross factual errors he might take rash action and needlessly lead this country into open warfare!"
"He's racist, xenophobic, and fuels the fires of hatred!"
"You shouldn't take him seriously. He has a penchant for offering simplistic solutions to hideously complex problems and a stubborn insistence that he is always right in every argument.”
"The rising turnout of his voters are not loyal Republicans or Democrats and are alienated from both parties because neither takes a sympathetic view toward their issues.”
"He wears the disdain he draws from the GOP elites as a badge of honor. Henry Kissinger’s championing the other GOP candidate and attacking him are actually helping him!"
"The fact that he could be deemed a serious candidate for president is a shame and embarrassment for the country.”
The New Yorker observed that his appeal “has to do not with competence at governing but with the emotion he evokes... [He] lets people get out their anger and frustration, their feeling of being misunderstood and mishandled by those who have run our government, their impatience with taxes and with the poor and the weak, their impulse to deal with the world’s troublemakers by employing the stratagem of a punch in the nose.”
"His unpopular opponent presided over the current Iranian crisis... and a reeling economy, yet surely the Democrat will prevail over him."
"Is he Safe? …he shoots from the hip … he's over his head … What are his solutions?”
"Voters want to follow some authority figure, — a leader who can take charge with authority; return a sense of discipline to our government; and, manifest the willpower needed to get this country back on track -- Or at least a leader from outside Washington."
*******************************
Sound familiar? You've heard this all about Donald Trump, right?
Try Again. All this was said of Ronald Reagan in 1976 and 1980.
Much of it was BY OTHER REPUBLICANS, and Reagan turned out
to be arguably one of the greatest presidents of the 20th Century.
