Trump steals lead from Clinton for first time in poll’s history

A new Morning Consult poll found registered voters are flocking to Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. The GOP nominee breezed past Clinton to win the head-to-head match-up for the first time in the poll’s history.
The Republican nominee received 44 percent of voters’ support, a 5-point jump from the 39 percent he took two weeks earlier. It’s his highest rating yet and indicates his message at last week’s GOP convention appealed to undecided voters.
The presumptive Democratic nominee only dropped 1 point from her previous score. A net 40 percent of voters backed Clinton, bringing the former secretary of state to her lowest ranking in nearly a month.
Of the 20 percent of voters who were “undecided” two weeks earlier, 4 percent jumped to Trump.
Trump’s growth has been steady over the past few weeks since the FBI called Clinton’s handling of classified information as the top U.S. diplomat “extremely careless.”
Although post-convention surges are standard, Trump’s 4-point lead give him a considerable advantage as Clinton heads into a chaotic week in Philadelphia.
On Friday, WikiLeaks published 20,000 emails sent within the Democratic National Committee. The messages painted a shocking image of the bias the DNC had against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and how party’s staffers referred to members of the press and Republican Party.
On Sunday, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced her resignation, effective at the end of the week at the conclusion of the Democratic convention, which she was also pulled from as a keynote speaker.
Clinton responded to the news by announcing Wasserman Schultz as her new honorary chair of her 50-state campaign. The news may sit well with some Democrats, but is likely to upset those who believe Wasserman Schultz helped rig the system in order to secure Clinton as the nomination.
The idiot manager at my former gubment contract gravy trainride who replied to “all” including ME with “Look what the bitch is trying to do now” STILL has a job there, in a little corner office that used to be the supply room.
Syncophants who are willing to abandon all their principles to promote your cause aren’t easy to come by. It is best to keep one or two around in case a sacrificial lamb is needed.

Crooked Hillary hires crooked Debbie. So what’s new? They’re both no good.
Admin, can you get this video to embed? Thanks! JtW
[suggestion for TMWNN: please create an “embed video” link similar to “add images” link?]
Dunno why, but I had to use the full embed code from youtube to get this to work. Normally, just pasting the youtube URL on a line by itself makes wordpress automatically embed for you. I couldn’t figure out why it isn’t working here.
WP strikes again. Seems that what it takes is to put the copied link on a line by itself, enter a blank line, and submit. A youtube link imbeds on this siteware version if it’s in the last two lines, alone.
I discovered that by accident a couple days ago, when link I placed didn’t link. I simply repasted the link into the following comment and it worked. That taught me that the link needs to be the last thing I say.

A thousand thanks, TMWNN; I will try Ed’s method on the next one.

Can’t wait until she blows a gasket in public.
