The Russian LINKS of Donald Trump - Clinton Era

Telegraph: Reports " The embattled director of the FBI has been accused of covering up evidence of Donald Trump’s links to Russia while inflicting severe damage on Hillary Clinton, as Democrats hit back in a growing scandal involving her email server. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good argument by the Democrats, it also diverts attention, who would have thought that the Russians would be on friendly terms with Donald Trump, while the HRC is seen as more of a hawk.   As spin it is excellent, you can create noise, the louder the better so people lose interest in the email story.   It would be interesting to know if the laptop with the new emails had been hacked by either Russia OR China, that would be a problem for the HRC campaign.   Also there is the problem, what if there is a there when it comes to the emails, you could have a President - Elect under criminal investigation while trying to form a new Administration, interesting times ahead.

Trump and the FBI - Clinton Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 7.53pm post the following, " Speaking at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this morning, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised James Comey for writing to Congress about the FBI’s review of Hillary Clinton emails...Trump said Comey had guts for the move and jokingly thanked Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner. He also said Clinton’s election would lead to a constitutional crisis. "

Lets Get Real:

This Clinton firewall is holding strong, at the moment the polls show a close race but with HRC ahead and the campaign has a good operation in the States.    The news networks agree that the Democrats have gotten the vote out.   Election day is about getting out the vote, the ground game developed by the Democrats and Trade Unions should come in to its own on November 8th.   The noise of the emails should diminish after a few days, the Private Clinton Email server has been going on forever.   One lesson that HRC will learn or have to learn is not to be so secretive, or if she does not learn that lesson we will see another Watergate and Richard Nixon.   Let's hope HRC has learned her lesson.

Is Trump the new Barry Goldwater - Clinton Advert - Clinton Era

Lets Get Real:

This might be a mistake by the Clinton Camp, it gives the impression that Trump is a Goldwater Conservative, this might get the base back for Trump.   Also do the HRC camp really believe that Trump is about to start WW3.   In fact the Clinton policy towards Syria and Russia has more chance of starting a War in the Middle East.   When your candidate is under FBI investigation there needs to be a diversion, and this is the best that the Dems can come up with at the moment.

Democrats in full protection mode - Clinton Era

BBC News: Reports " The Democratic leader in the US Senate says the head of the FBI may have broken the law by revealing the bureau was investigating emails possibly linked to Hillary Clinton. "

Lets Get Real:

This move by Senator Reid is a mistake by Democrats, the Senator is seen as a partisan hack by most Republicans, the HRC campaign needs people with a clear record of being fair to attack the FBI, and even then it has to be careful, it not a good idea to make an enemy of the FBI, these people have long memories.   With the exception of Reid the HRC defence has been good, of course HRC does not remember that her husband was critical of Bush 41 after moves by the then Iran - Contra special prosecutor to surge his investigation just before the 1992 election.  One the whole this blog is keeping to its prediction of a HRC win by between 4% to 6%.
