Media Worried Too Many Americans Will Question Legitimacy of 2016 Election
This article poses a good question - and surely a worrying one: What if a sizable percentage of US voters genuinely don't accept that Hillary's Presidency is legitimate? 100% of the mainstream media organs would of course scoff at them, but this campaign has already provided plenty of evidence that the MSM's credibility is shot with a large proportion of the population. So is the credibility of both the mainstream political parties.

To a degree, this is what the Election is all about. If the people elect the war criminal, it will indicate to the rest of the world exactly what the US's moral values will be for the next four or eight years. I must say, it looks pretty scary, from out here! How soon before those personal drones start seeking us out, one by one?

Why is it that Clinton isn't very popular? Oh yeah, now I remember...

Republicans In Turmoil As Trump Abruptly Cancels Campaign Events In Three States
Many people are saying he doesn't have the stamina...
Trump has replaced the Colorado event with another hourlong appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
There is no evidence at this point, but the greatest irony of all would be if Trump had to cancel these events because he wasn’t healthy enough and lacked the stamina to campaign on a full schedule.

The "normalization of deviance" is not a new concept. Nor do I think it's necessarily appropriate to apply it to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Certainly there are aspects of US policy towards "enemy combatants" and its treatment of terrorism suspects that is well beyond internationally acceptable behaviour (and is demonstrably counterproductive as a way of disincentivizing future anti-American or anti-Western terrorists). But Clinton cannot sensibly be singled out, any more than any previous President, Secretary of State, chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any other senior political or military figure in the United States over the last 15 years or so (or possibly even longer).
What staggers me beyond belief is your continued assumption, and assertion, that somehow Mr Trump will change the tune here. He has shown himself to be well beyond the "normalized deviance" of the current administration - publicly supporting the torture of captives, the murder of family members, even the use of first-strike nuclear weapons. That seems quite a lot further down the deviant trail to me...

Of course he is. Here, come and sit in this nice comfy chair while you wait. You can watch the fish in this aquarium if you like. The nurse will be along soon with your tablets...

Everyone has a talent. Yours is being misinformed.

Re: 2016 Election
I see the Donald is now taking aim at Hillary's health. Bit rich coming from a man who by all appearances is considerably overweight and gets a picture taken on his plane eating a bucket of Kentucky fried

Re: 2016 Election
Given Pence was also recently pictured with a bucket from said establishment, I would guess he isn't self funding his campaign anymore. As long as he isn't beholden to Big Chicken...
