by Lowell

Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Sunday, November 6. Yep, just two more days and hopefully we’ll be done with the national embarrassment and nightmare known as “Trump for President.” Ugh. Also check out Hillary Clinton’s superb ad, “Roar.”

• Clinton leads by five points nationally as Trump personality concerns persist, Post-ABC Tracking Poll finds
• Mr. Trump’s election would be a major threat to the economy
• ‘I’m With Her’: The Strengths of Hillary Clinton (“…fundamentally she is a morally serious person whose passion for four decades has been to use politics to create a more just society. That’s her real conviction.”)
• Imagining America on Nov. 9 (“Averting the worst starts with electing Hillary Clinton…If Mr. Trump is rejected on Tuesday, the nation will have a momentary breather. And some good news to build on.”)
• Hillary Clinton Appears to Gain Late Momentum on Surge of Latino Voters
• Clinton Has Solid Lead in Electoral College; Trump’s Winning Map Is Unclear
• Operation ‘Euphrates Anger’ Begins to Liberate Raqqa fom ISIS, Supported by U.S. (So, as America goes to the polls, ISIS is about to be defeated in Iraq’s largest city and also in its self-proclaimed “capital” in Syria. Yet another thing Trump was wildly wrong about!)
• Trump Has “Almost Certainly” Lost Nevada, as Latino Turnout Surges in Key States
• Will Republicans respect democracy? (Answer: no, of course not. Respecting democracy is not what Republicans do.)
• Nate Silver rages at Huffington Post editor in 14-part tweetstorm (Quite entertaining, check it out, including Nate’s latest tweet, “When you go low, I go high 80% of the time, and knee you in the balls the other 20% of the time.”)
• Trump protester: I was beaten for holding a ‘Republicans against Trump’ sign

• Trump Rolls Out Anti-Semitic Closing Ad
• No Weapon Found But Trump Son And Aide Spread False Rumor Of ‘Assassination Attempt’

• Post-election battles likely as Trump supporters are in no mood for compromise (Fanatics and extremists.)
• Hillary Clinton Campaign Announces Election Eve National TV Ad

• Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine jams with Bon Jovi in St. Petersburg
• Tim Kaine Plays the Harmonica With Jon Bon Jovi at Florida Rally

• Tim Kaine, Anne Holton campaign at GMU Monday night ahead of Richmond rally (Unlike with Trump, this is a rally that everyone can be proud to attend!)
• Trump adds Sunday night rally in Loudoun County (The big question: will his BFF Barbara Comstock show up? LOL)

• What to watch in Virginia on election night (“If Virginia truly has lost its swing, the main drama on election night may be how close Donald Trump comes to upsetting Hillary Clinton in a state trending blue.”)

• In Virginia, ex-felons find empowerment in the voting booth
• Goodlatte, Degner vie for 6th District congressional seat (Typo in the headline – should be BADlatte. Seriously, he’s awful.)
• Schapiro: Elections prove less topsy than turvy.

• State delegate, businesswoman vie for Rigell’s 2nd District seat (Major missed opportunity here for Dems.)

• 9th District candidates end 2016 election with dinners, tour

• New faces, new congressional districts for many voters in Richmond region
• Fantastic fall weather today, a bit cooler tomorrow
