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
- Qualifications, Temperament Aid Clinton in 2016 Campaign’s Closing Days (Trump has ZERO qualifications and a horrendous, sociopathic temperament.)
- Trump Rolls Out Anti-Semitic Closing Ad
- No Weapon Found But Trump Son And Aide Spread False Rumor Of ‘Assassination Attempt’
- Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after someone yelled ‘gun!’ but no gun was found (Wait a second, don’t Trumpsters all believe that “guns save lives,” that they make us MORE safe? And there wasn’t even a gun, so…alrighty.)
- 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
- The man behind the Trump rally disturbance in Reno (“The man who caused a commotion at a Donald Trump rally Saturday said he’s a registered Republican who wanted only to show his displeasure with his party’s nominee”)
- Hillary Clinton Is Leading In A Greater Portion Of Polls Than Obama Was In The Last Two Elections
- Kaine says a Clinton administration would ‘pay more attention to Latin America’
- EXCLUSIVE: Tim Kaine addresses concerns over terror threat near Election Day
- Tim Kaine: Move the nation forward
- 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: Some FBI Employees Are ‘Actively Working’ To Help Trump (Every one of them needs to be fired ASAP, and I’d say this if they were working for a Democratic candidate…totally wrong, violation of the Hatch Act, etc., etc.)
- 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)
- Women are the key to who will win in Virginia
- Two constitutional amendments on Virginia ballot in 2016 (Definitely vote NO on the “right-to-be-poor” amendment!)
- Kaine converges on Richmond Monday night, on the verge of history
- Trump and Pence to visit Virginia, a purple state long seen as safe for Clinton
- 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.”)
- At GMU, Pence urges Republicans to ‘come home’ on Election Day (If Trump represents “home” for today’s Republican Party, that is simply horrifying.)
- 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. (“To which Jack Berry, the candidate of the city’s business class, and Levar Stoney, a comparative kid whose business is politics, offer themselves as examples of what Richmond should be, albeit anchored on opposite sides of the generational divide.”)
- State delegate, businesswoman vie for Rigell’s 2nd District seat (Major missed opportunity here for Dems.)
- Voters’ grumpy mood to be tested in ballot contests in region’s 3 largest suburbs (“Ballot measures to decide Fairfax meals tax, Pr. Geo.’s council size, Montgomery term limits”)
- 9th District candidates end 2016 election with dinners, tour
- Former Richmond mayoral hopeful Jon Baliles endorses Levar Stoney in race
- Editorial – Vote for Jack Berry (Interesting, I wonder how much impact locally the Richmond Times-Dispatch endorsement has these days.)
- Three compete to replace Sen. John Miller in 1st District (Democrat Monty Mason should win this easily.)
- New faces, new congressional districts for many voters in Richmond region
- Fantastic fall weather today, a bit cooler tomorrow
