Trump’s rise is 100% the product of giving him all the media attention he ever wanted. Without that, he’d not have gotten past the primaries. In fact we now know that the Clinton campaign actually supported him in the primaries. At the same time, the email leaks reveal (unsurprisingly) just how totally mercenary and opportunistic the Clintons are and how little they have any convictions of any kind, other than the love of war and their own advancement. And what do people do? They start attacking Russia in an atmosphere where we’re already moving ever closer to a catastrophic confrontation, instead of attacking the Clintons, and blame ‘rednecks’ or poor white people for Trumpism. It boggles the mind.
All you’re doing is social media anyway. Please read Episode 1 of this fiasco, then you know what I’m up to and you can join me on this journey. So far so good. This is the first night so far this month, where I’ve committed to write every night, at least a thousand words, where I’m just not feeling it. Regardless, I’m on time. That’s what this drill is about. Do it anyway.
It’s déjà vu all over again as President Obama becomes the fourth consecutive President to announce a bombing campaign in Iraq. Watch Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Obama make their statements over the span of two decades.

Tune in to the first joint candidate event of the 2016 general election!
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will take questions on national security, military affairs and veterans’ issues from a live audience comprised of service members and veterans on the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
We’ve updated our NBC battleground map. The states in Hillary Clinton’s column now add up to 288 electoral votes, which exceeds the 270 needed to win the presidency. Donald Trump, meanwhile, is at 174 electoral votes, and an additional 76 are in the Tossup category. Our last map, back in July, showed Clinton with a 255-190 advantage — so Clinton’s tally has gone up since the conventions, while Trump’s has declined.
The significant changes in our map:
- We’ve moved Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Nebraska’s one electoral vote from Tossup to Lean Dem.
- We’ve also moved Florida from Lean Dem to Tossup.
- Georgia moves from Lean GOP to Tossup.
- And we’ve changed Kansas and South Carolina from Likely GOP to Lean GOP.
(Our regular caveat here, of course: These designations are subject to change as we get more poll numbers and reporting.)
Donald Trump on Wednesday night appeared to blame President Barack Obama for the global terror threat, erroneously accusing him of creating ISIS and saying the group “honors” him.
“In many respects, you know, they honor President Obama,” Trump said at a rally in Florida. “He’s the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder. He founded ISIS.”
Trump continued: “I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.”
