United States Elections 2016
Seems like there's a new announcement each day.
While that's happening, The Donald Trump just told Macy's and NBC to buzz off. Apparently, he is hoping to become POTUS before Latinos become the largest voting bloc in the US. :P

Jeb Bush responds to Donald Trump's immigration remarks
By Michael Tanenbaum (PhillyVoice).
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is the latest to weigh in on controversial remarks made by fellow GOP challenger Donald Trump about Mexico and immigration.
According to the Associated Press, Bush spoke to reporters after marching in Fourth of July parades in Amherst and Merrimack, New Hampshire.
"I don't think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what Republicans think," Bush said. "No one suggests that we shouldn't control our borders - everybody has a belief that we should control our borders. But to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this."
Bush, whose wife was born in Mexico, went on to tell reporters that he took the remarks personally. Trump has steadfastly defended his views, expressed last month in a speech announcing his bid for the Republican nomination.
"They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing their problems," Trump said. "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we are getting."
The most recent CNN/ORC national poll shows Bush at the front of a crowded GOP field, with 19 percent, up 6 points from May, while Trump stands at 12 percent.
Jeb Bush: Donald Trump's Immigration Remarks Offensive
AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he is personally offended by rival Donald Trump's recent remarks about Mexico and immigrants and calls the remarks far outside the mainstream of Republican thought.
"I don't think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what Republicans think," Bush told reporters after marching in Fourth of July parades in Amherst and Merrimack, New Hampshire.
"No one suggests that we shouldn't control our borders - everybody has a belief that we should control our borders," he said. "But to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this."
Bush's wife was born in Mexico, and when he was asked if he took Trump's remarks personally, he responded: "Yeah, of course. Absolutely. And a lot of other people as well."
When Trump announced his presidential bid last month, he criticized Mexico and immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally. "They're bringing drugs," he said. "They're bringing crime. They're rapists."
In spite of earlier criticism from Bush and other Republicans and companies moving to cut business ties to Trump, the real estate mogul has defended his remarks.

Donald Trump's 'hurtful and unjust' comments on Mexican migrants slammed by Miss Universe
David Usborne (The Independent, UK).
Now even royalty, of a sort, is turning on Donald Trump. Two weeks into to the ugly ruckus that began when he described Mexican immigrants as drug dealers and rapists while announcing his run for president, Paulina Vega, the reigning Miss Universe, has condemned his comments as “unjust and hurtful”.
The fallout from his comments had already begun to seriously damage his business interests. New York City, which has a golf course and a skating rink bearing the Trump name, is reviewing all ties with him. Macy’s, the giant retailer, is dropping his fashion lines. Hispanic leaders have derided him and are demanding that other Republican presidential hopefuls call him out too.
“Donald Trump’s remarks were disgusting and offensive, and this hateful language has no place in our city,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Wednesday. America’s top golfing bodies, including the PGA, were moved to issue a joint statement after he suggested that the sport somehow shared his outlook. “We feel compelled to clarify that those remarks do not reflect the views of our organisations,” it said.
But it is possible that Ms Vega’s rather mild reprimand (Colombian-born, she did go on to say that she would not be surrendering her crown) that will get under his very thick skin the most.
A joint venture between Mr Trump and NBC Universal, the Miss Universe Organisation is itself imperiled after NBC said it was pulling the plug on the partnership. On top of that, Univision, the biggest Spanish-language network in the US, said it would not broadcast the upcoming Miss USA Pageant, a spin-off of Miss Universe.
The debacle, which threatens to scramble all attempts by the Republican Party and its other presidential candidates to appeal to Hispanic voters in 2016, began when Mr Trump turned to the issue of illegal immigration in his announcement speech on 16 June. He spoke of building a “great, great wall” along the US-Mexican border. Mexican immigrants, he barrelled on, were “bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”.
If Mr Trump is destined to be merely a side-show, or possibly freak-show, in the 2016 campaign, that cannot be said of his candidacy right now, with multiple new polls showing him running second nationally among the 14 Republicans who have so far declared, and doing equally well in some critical primary states such as New Hampshire. These numbers embolden him as he declines to back away from his comments.
History suggests that his success may be fleeting, caused in part by high name recognition. In the meantime, however, by further harming the image of his party among Hispanics, an increasingly crucial voting bloc in America, he may be doing Democrats an enormous favour. If Hillary Clinton and the other Democrat hopefuls have said nothing, it’s because they don’t have to.
His rivals for the Republican nomination seemed determined at first also to stay mum. But aware that saying nothing might look like an endorsement of the Trump rant, they are slowly stepping forward. Senator Marco Rubio, who his himself Hispanic, said: “Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive.” Jeb Bush, the front-runner in several polls, limited himself to saying that Mr Trump was “wrong”.

Donald Trump’s ‘schlonged': A linguistic investigation
By Justin Wm. Moyer, The Washington Post
In a long campaign that’s far from over, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comment in Grand Rapids, Mich., that Hillary Clinton — former first lady, former U.S. senator, former secretary of state, woman — “got schlonged” in her 2008 primary run might be considered just another insult. Trump, after all, has been down in the dirt slinging mud before, calling Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig” and a “slob” and making comments that certainly seemed critical of Megyn Kelly’s menstrual cycle.
But there was something different about “schlonged.” Sure, it was sexist — especially given Trump’s general disapproval of Clinton’s bathroom use during the recent Democratic presidential debate.
“Republican frontrunner Donald Trump used a campaign stop in Michigan on Monday to make astonishingly sexist attacks against Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton,” the left-leaning ThinkProgress wrote. “. . . ‘Schlong’ is a well-known reference to a man’s genitals. There are no alternative definitions for the word, according to Merriam-Webster.”
Sexism for Trump, however, is nothing new. In an email to The Washington Post, Harvard University’s Steven Pinker, a noted researcher on language and cognition, pointed out that Trump, using a term that comes to English via Yiddish and Middle High German, may simply have been trying to say something else.
“Given Trump’s history of vulgarity and misogyny, it’s entirely possible that he had created a sexist term for ‘defeat’ (as far as I know there is no such slang verb in Yiddish),” Pinker wrote. “But given his history with sloppy language it’s also possible that it’s a malaprop.”
Trump’s problem? He’s a gentile who, linguistically, may have wandered too far from home.
“Many goyim are confused by the large number of Yiddish terms beginning with ‘schl’ or ‘schm’ (schlemiel, schlemazzle, schmeggegge, schlub, schlock, schlep, schmutz, schnook), and use them incorrectly or interchangeably,” he wrote. “And headline writers often ransack the language for onomatopoeic synonyms for ‘defeat’ such as drub, whomp, thump, wallop, whack, trounce, clobber, smash, trample, and Obama’s own favorite, shellac (which in fact sounds a bit like schlong). So an alternative explanation is that Trump reached for what he thought was a Yinglish word for ‘beat’ and inadvertently coined an obscene one.”
But Trump has used the word “schlonged” at least once before — in a 2011 discussion of a House seat Republicans lost.
“I watched a popular Republican woman [Jane Corwin] not only lose but get schlonged by a Democrat [Kathy Hochul] nobody ever heard of for the congressional seat, and that was because, simply, because of the Paul Ryan plan,” Trump said at the time. “That was an attack on Medicare. Now he’s trying to soften it, but whether you like it or not, that was an attack on Medicare.”
Still, maybe the power of “schlonged” was in its relative novelty. Trump could have used many other vulgar synonyms for “lost” — even the F-word, had he been so bold. Yet he casually chose an unusual formulation favored by frat boys and comedians working blue, not aspirants for the nation’s highest office.
Indeed, Nexis notes just seven uses of “schlonged.” Two were Trump’s recent jab at Clinton; one referenced a “long-schlonged” reality TV star; one appeared in an obituary for Philip Seymour Hoffman, noting the actor’s role as a “gauche gay boom operator with a crush on [a] long-schlonged superstar” in the film “Boogie Nights”; another appeared in an article about the HBO show “Hung”; and another in the transcript of an episode of Comedy Central’s long-canceled “The Man Show.”
Only one use of “schlonged” as a verb came from a respected political source. In 2011, NPR’s Neal Conan made this observation (to The Post’s Chris Cillizza) on the 1984 Walter Mondale/Geraldine Ferraro campaign: “That ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls.”
As Ben Jacobs of the Guardian noted: “Has any candidate for Borough President, let alone President of the United States ever used ‘schlonged’ in public before?” Or, as another Twitter user wrote: “Because the leader of the free world would definitely publicly use the word ‘schlonged.’ ” And another: ” ‘Schlonged.’ Verb, right?”
Perhaps the sting of “schlonged” is best explained by grammarians. As The Post’s Jenna Johnson noted, this is quite a memorable example of “turning a vulgar noun . . . into a verb” — something we all do when we use verbs like “trend” or “Google.”
“This conversion of nouns to verbs is known as ‘verbing’ and it has been around for as long as the English language itself,” Oxford University Press noted in 2013. “Ancient verbs such as rain and thunder and more recent conversions such as access, chair, debut, highlight and impact were all originally used only as nouns before they became verbs.”
Perhaps anticipating Trump’s use of “schlonged,” the Press also noted: “Verbing exists essentially to make what we say shorter and snappier. It can also give a more dynamic sense to ideas.”
One need not be a Trump detractor to condemn such usage. Benjamin Franklin, complaining about “awkward and abominable” nouns-as-verbs such as “notice,” “advocate” and “progress” in 1789, wrote a lexicographer: “If you should happen to be of my Opinion with respect to these Innovations you will use your Authority in reprobating them.”
Trump, as usual, was not inclined to look back with regret on “schlonged,” and marched onward.
“THANK YOU Grand Rapids, Michigan!” he tweeted. “Time to end political correctness & secure our homeland!”

tink Trump riding the coat tail of xenophobia and intolerance to get the nomination was especially eye opening, while dat kinda thinking endemic in d GOP, few politicians have sort to nakedly capitalize on it like trump in this era.
-
well let's see what the folks in Iowa do tonight, mind you they have gone 16 years without picking the eventual republican nominee.
on another note i read a graphic (as in comic book) biography of bernie sanders and it was really informative not only about his life but also in terms of the rightward shift of the democratic party ever since carter lost in 1980.

Trump vs. Clinton: The election no one wants
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/26/trump-vs-clinton-the-election-no-one-wants-commentary.html
-
The key issue for Sanders (despite making other gains) is that he is getting his arse kicked in not acquiring superdelegates.
South Carolina: emblematic of the predicament confronted by African-American voters. Joe Biden would have destroyed Hillary in SC.
Meanwhile, Trump's Achilles heel is his visceral conclusion that each opposing comment merits a response. In this regard, he and Gov. Christie ( the master of 'snide') make a pugnacious tag team across the Hudson. However, when will a demonstration of statesmanship surface? It might bridge a gap across the Mississippi to elements on the margins of enlisting in the anti-Trump brigade, and to the undecided.
Of course, don't expect Trump to mellow before securing the nomination. Repeat. Rinse. Vicious cycle. Resistance from the orthodox wing of the party. Spin.

Trump and ‘the angry white man'
Ryan Hadeed, Op-Ed, Trinidad & Tobago Guardian Online.
Picture, if you will, a large gathering of people listening to a man speaking on a podium that’s raised before them. The man exudes a dominating presence and his fiery rhetoric is met with thunderous applause. He tells them that their country is not as strong as it once was, that there’s a reason why they don’t have jobs, or enough money to feed their families. He tells them who’s to blame for their troubles, and how he’s going to deal with ‘those people’. “They will be rounded up and sent elsewhere,” he says. “It will be a humane process, and once it starts, others will do it voluntarily.” Their military will be rebuilt and the world will tremble before them. Finally he emphasises the promise to make their country great again. Then every person in the crowd raises their right hand, pledging their loyalty to him. Now tell me—is this man speaking in Germany 1934? Or in the United States of America 2016?
With the presidential primaries now halfway through the voting process, the likely party candidates are starting to emerge. While Hillary Clinton still maintains an edge for the Democratic nomination, the Republican National Committee is in a state of panic with the prospect that Donald Trump may end up being theirs. And their fear is that if he ends up with enough delegates to qualify as the party’s nominee, then they would undoubtedly lose November’s general election.
So what’s the secret behind “the Donald’s” surge in popularity. Listen to him and you’ll find his speeches are self-indulgent rambles about his greatness, and reveal very little in the way of actual policy ideas. And instead of defending himself from criticisms, he retaliates with insults and comments laced with misogyny, xenophobia, and even advocating violence. Putting the blunderbuss aside, he cites his resume as a businessman, stating that he would apply the same acumen to running the country. But in all honesty, he‘s not a self-made success, for the story of Donald Trump isn’t one of “rags to riches.” He had every advantage when it came to making his fortune: from a fine education and a million-dollar loan from his father to a sizeable inheritance.
Yet despite those facts, it’s paradoxical that he’s being seen as a champion of middle-class America. Are they really going to believe that a man whose modus operandi has always been about personal enrichment will now act in the best interests of the nation? When asked what they like about him, the answer most often heard is that “He speaks his mind.” But the real issue isn’t necessarily Donald Trump’s message, but the people to whom it appeals. There’s a dissatisfaction that’s been brewing amongst the population for some time now. After being embroiled in two wars, the collapse of the housing market, and partisan failures in Washington, there’s good reason to be angry. But the reality here is that the Republican Party is also partially responsible.
The truth is that racism is alive and well in America. The civil rights movement of the 1960’s may have codified equality, but it did nothing with respect to changing the mindset of race relations. The US of A is only the “land of the free and the home of the brave” if you’re a white-Christian-male. And there was no greater threat to that belief than having a black man with a Muslim-sounding name in the White House. And to make matters worse, the Republican Party made it abundantly clear that they were unwilling to work with the current president. As far as they were concerned, the blame for all of the country’s problems started on January 20, 2009, conveniently forgetting the eight years that preceded.
As the first “person-of-colour” in the Oval Office, Barack Obama has had to put up with challenges, criticisms, and acts of disrespect that previous occupants never had to. Such attacks from the Republican members of congress have only added to the air of racism that the GOP is reputed to possess. But the unfortunate effect of the hyper-partisan behaviour has set the tone for the extreme, right-wing population to follow. The same racism which had been driven underground is now acceptable enough to be displayed openly, making this the year of the “angry white man.” And into this torrent appeared Donald Trump who, being the opportunist that he is, stepped up to serve as the lightning rod. What’s frightening about his message is its focus on blame. There aren’t any jobs—blame the Mexicans. The politicians aren’t keeping their promises—blame big business interests. There’s a threat of terrorism—blame Muslims. Society is facing moral decay—blame the homosexual agenda.
The irony is that, win or lose, Trump’s divisive language is more than likely here to stay. And will serve as a rallying cry for conservatives who are “hell-bent” on reversing the direction that “their” country is heading. What this means is that we are witnessing the rise of “Two Americas,” each representing opposing philosophies. And like the old practice of segregation, they will be separate and unequal with respect to opportunity and tolerance. It isn’t simply a matter of left versus right, liberal versus conservative, or progressive versus traditional. This is about whether the United States will be an inclusive or an exclusive society. One where the “American Dream” can be had by all—or reserved for some, and a nightmare for everyone else.

Bernie Sanders drops sarcastic press release following Democratic debate announcement
http://www.businessinsider.com/bernie-sanders-debate-new-york-hillary-clinton-2016-4
Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign slammed Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton over the terms of an upcoming Democratic debate in New York that was agreed to and announced on Monday night.
The campaigns agreed to hold a debate in Brooklyn on April 14.
Afterward, Sanders' campaign spokesman, Michael Briggs, released an aggressively worded statement criticizing Clinton for making the Sanders campaign change a date for a rally that it was planning to hold on the same day.
Briggs wrote:
Fortunately, we were able to move a major New York City rally scheduled for April 14 to the night before. We hope the debate will be worth the inconvenience for thousands of New Yorkers who were planning to attend our rally on Thursday but will have to change their schedules to accommodate Secretary Clinton's jam-packed, high-dollar, coast-to-coast schedule of fundraisers all over the country.
The press release also noted that the Clinton campaign had "long opposed" a debate in Brooklyn, the site of her campaign headquarters.
Briggs wrote:
Sanders all along has pressed for a debate on television in prime time so the greatest number of New Yorkers and Americans may listen to the candidates and decide for themselves who has the best ideas about how to reform our rigged economy and the corrupt campaign finance system. It's great for the people of New York that there will be a debate in Brooklyn, something that the Clinton campaign has long opposed.
Over the past several weeks, the two campaigns have battled in public over the time and date of a proposed New York City debate, which in January the campaigns agreed to hold.
Sanders' camp accused Clinton of "stalling" before the April 19 primary. On Saturday, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement that the former secretary of state's campaign reached out to Sanders with three proposed dates for debates in New York, which were all rejected.
"The Sanders campaign needs to stop using the New York primary as a playground for political games and negative attacks against Hillary Clinton," Fallon said. "The voters of New York deserve better. Senator Sanders and his team should stop the delays and accept a debate on April 14 or the morning of April 15th."
On Monday, Clinton surrogate and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio jumped into the fray, offering to help Sanders get a permit so his campaign could hold a rally in New York City.

Trump sweeps 5 states; Clinton wins Md., Del., Pa., as Sanders takes R.I.
Donald Trump was projected to complete a five-state sweep in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primaries – while Hillary Clinton won at least three of them, but was denied the prospect of a sweep herself after a projected Bernie Sanders victory in Rhode Island.
The only race left to be called is the Connecticut Democratic primary race.
But Fox News can project that Trump will win Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island, on the heels of his victory in New York state a week ago. His dominant showing in the Northeast gives him significant momentum heading into next week’s primary in Indiana. And, he’s on track to win over 50 percent of the vote in at least three of those contests, a feat he has only achieved once before, in New York.
Meanwhile, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is shaping up as the second pick of Northeast Republicans so far, projected to place second in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware – leaving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to finish third.
Overall, Democrats were competing for 384 delegates in Tuesday's contests, while Republicans had 118 up for grabs (not counting 54 unbound delegates in Pennsylvania).
Exit polls released earlier showed Trump in a tight race with Kasich for late-deciders in Tuesday’s contests – but they weren’t enough to change the dynamics of the race in Kasich’s favor. On the Democratic side, early exit polls showed Clinton doing well among seniors and black voters, while Sanders was doing well among young people and independents.

Bernie Sanders: Nominating Hillary Clinton would be ‘disaster’ for party, nation
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/11/sanders-nominating-clinton-would-be-disaster/
Fresh off a big win in the West Virginia primary, Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ campaign said Wednesday the Democratic Party would be courting “disaster” if it nominates Hillary Clinton as its presidential nominee.
In a fundraising email to supporters, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver cited recent polls showing the Vermont senator performing better against Republican Donald Trump in general election match-ups. Recent surveys have shown Mrs. Clinton virtually tied with Mr. Trump in the key battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
Citing those troubling figures, Mr. Weaver said the Democratic Party — and its superdelegates who are free to support either candidate — must reject Mrs. Clinton and embrace Mr. Sanders, or face a crushing defeat in November.
“For months, Bernie Sanders has out-polled Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump, and often by extraordinarily large margins. Because we must do everything we can to defeat Trump in November, our mission is to win as many pledged delegates as we can between now and June 14,” when the primary season ends, Mr. Weaver said. “Then we’re going to have a contested convention where the Democratic Party must decide if they want the candidate with the momentum who is best positioned to beat Trump, or if they are willing to roll the dice and court disaster simply to protect the status quo for the political and financial establishment of this country.”
Mr. Weaver also dismissed the notion that his candidate fares better against Mr. Trump only because he hasn’t been under the same white-hot spotlight Mrs. Clinton has faced for years.
“Some people say we do better against Trump because we haven’t faced the Republican attack machine yet. But we’ve been told our goals for the future are utopian, and that our plans would raise taxes on middle class families. We just never thought those attacks would come in a Democratic primary. Yet somehow we keep winning,” he said. “We are the best chance to defeat Trump because people united can never be defeated. That is why we must keep fighting.”

Trump Scores Historic 13 Million GOP Primary Vote Blowout with California Win
http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/06/08/trump-scores-historic-13-million-gop-primary-vote-blowout-with-california-win/
Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump secured the last of the Republican primary states on Tuesday in California and a historic count of over 13 million primary election votes.
Trump closed out the primary election season with wins in South Dakota, New Mexico, New Jersey, Montana, and California. While Sen. Bernie Sanders remains actively campaigning for the Democratic nomination against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Trump became the GOP’s presumptive nominee shortly after winning Indiana’s May 3 primary election.
The American businessman surpassed 2012 nominee Mitt Romney’s and 2008 nominee John McCain’s primary election vote totals by late in April according to Politico calculations. Previous record holder George W. Bush received just 10.8 million votes in 2000, a number far surpassed by Trump’s over 13 million votes with the five June 7 primaries.
Trump’s total is 13,266,277 according to the RealClearPolitics vote count as of Wednesday morning. That count didn’t appear to include the most recent totals for California which they listed at 1,146,548. As of Wednesday morning, the California Secretary of State’s website reported a slightly higher 1,173,893 votes for Trump with 99.7 percent of precincts reporting.
Many supporters of constitutional conservative Sen. Ted Cruz in late primary election states like California thought this might be the year they got to make a difference in the primary, casting a vote that would help decide the nominee. Cruz however, dropped out of the race following defeat in Indiana prompting moderate Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich to pull out as well.
In the end, California Republicans holding out by committing to their respective candidate voted 9.2 percent for Cruz and 11.3 percent for Kasich. This leaves a significant number of votes on the table for Trump to potentially win over. Many former Trump critics have fallen in line behind their party’s nominee as the election season has rolled forward.
Democratic Party presidential candidate Clinton heavily emphasized the angle that she will be the first female nominee of a major party in America’s history in her Tuesday night victory speech given from Brooklyn, New York. Sanders vowed to fight on for the Democratic presidential nomination in his late night speech from Los Angeles, California where he proclaimed, “The struggle continues!” Sanders did pull out a win in Montana on Tuesday, preventing a Clinton June 7 primary shutout.
Clinton logged a significant 25.6 percent drop in California primary votes compared to her 2008 performance. In her 2008 battle against then- Sen. Barack Obama, she received 2,608,184 California Democratic primary votes compared to a 2016 total of 1,940,580 against Sen. Sanders with 100 percent of precincts reporting.
Sanders supporters told Breitbart News that they weren’t giving up on their candidate during a Tuesday election night party. The crowd yelled, “The media is corrupt!” and criticized the Monday evening pre-California primary election day Associated Press report that claimed Clinton had secured enough delegates to win their party’s nomination.
Several Sanders supporters from Sen. Harry Reid’s precinct made their stand in the Nevada caucuses and refused to relent to Clinton — even when friends and loved ones beckoned them and they were told they would receive no delegates for Sanders. Reid is backing Clinton.
Republicans and Democrats will make their presidential nominations official at their respective party’s national conventions. The Republican National Convention will be held in Cleveland, Ohio from July 18-21. The Democratic National Convention will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from July 25-28.

Trump prevails over Clinton in convention speech ratings race
http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/29/media/democratic-convention-night-four-ratings/index.html
Who won the convention ratings race, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?
Trump, by a margin of 2.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen, the TV ratings firm.
Clinton's Thursday night acceptance speech at the DNC averaged 29.8 million viewers across ten broadcast and cable channels.
Trump's speech at the RNC one week earlier averaged 32.2 million viewers across the same channels.
Nielsen's totals did not include PBS. With the public broadcaster's coverage added, Trump's speech had 34.9 million viewers and Clinton had 33.8 million, a difference of 900,000.
For Trump, the victory is even sweeter because while the first three nights of the Democratic convention out-rated the same nights of the Republican convention, his speech spurred more live viewership than Clinton's on the fourth night.
"We beat her by millions," Trump said at a Friday afternoon rally.
When asked about the ratings for Clinton's speech, Trump communications director Jason Miller quipped, "That's the downside in running for Obama's third term -- nobody watches repeats in the summer."
The ten channels included here are CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Univision, CNBC, Fox Business, and NBC Universo.
Nielsen's total does not incorporate live streaming views or web video clips that are viewed later.
YouTube said that its official live stream of the conventions peaked with 250,000 simultaneous viewers during Clinton's speech versus 217,000 simultaneous viewers during Trump's speech.
Dozens of other live streams were also available. But the vast majority of convention viewing still happens the traditional way -- live, on TV sets, through channels like CNN and NBC.
CNN was by far the highest-rated channel on Thursday, averaging 7.5 million viewers during Clinton's speech. MSNBC was #2 with 5.3 million viewers. NBC was #3 with 4.5 million.
Related: Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech capped the DNC's star-studded miniseries
While Trump's speech was slightly higher-rated on TV, the results were reversed on Facebook, which measured the volume of conversation about each convention.
Facebook said the final day of the DNC generated "46.5 million likes, posts, comments and shares" from 12.6 million American users, slightly ahead of the final day of the RNC, when the site had 45.1 million interactions from 12.2 million users.
Trump, a former reality TV star, is a student of both social media and TV ratings; he frequently comments on his attention-grabbing abilities.
That's why some of Trump's critics celebrated when the Democrats' gathering in Philadelphia turned out to be higher-rated than the Republican convention in Cleveland through Wednesday.
Monday night's DNC speeches were seen by 26 million viewers across seven channels, versus 23 million for night one of the RNC.
Tuesday night's DNC coverage averaged 24 million, versus 19 million for night two of the RNC.
And Wednesday night attracted 24.4 million viewers, versus 23.4 million viewers for the RNC.
Thursday was the highest-rated night of the week for both parties, but Trump had bigger gains, giving him the bragging rights at the end of the convention period.
Nielsen's total for Clinton's speech, 29.8 million, does not include the noncommercial networks C-SPAN and PBS.
C-SPAN is not rated.
PBS said it averaged 3.98 million viewers during the 10 p.m. hour on Thursday, when Clinton's speech began, and 2.75 million viewers during the same hour last week.

US Polls: Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump narrows to 4 points
A spokeswoman for Donald Trump’s campaign said Hillary Clinton suffers from a rare language disorder caused by brain damage, a claim Clinton’s doctor quickly denied as false. And it’s been this way for a while.
Much has been written of the damage Donald Trump has done to the Republican Party brand with his disruptive rhetoric and antics.
This is only the most recent element to the preposterous narrative created by Fox News idiots and Trump surrogates as they have tried to build the case against Clinton based on her medical health.
And as memes go, this one kind of had everything: sarcasm, anger, Harambe jokes, GIFs of animals in people’s clothing, Mean Girls references, shout outs to Bernie Sanders and some third party candidates, and even a Rick Roll. Trump waited to begin airing spots until after the conventions, though he and his allies are likely to still be outspent over the next two weeks by forces aligned with Clinton. Modern elections are more easily “fixed” by hacking computer programs that control electronic voting devices to alter vote tabulations.

Donald Trump halves Hillary Clinton’s lead: poll
Republican nominee Donald Trump gained on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in a new national poll released Sunday, cutting in half her lead in the presidential race in the course of a week.
Mrs. Clinton led Mr. Trump by 3 points, 43 percent to 40 percent, in the Morning Consult poll. She enjoyed a 6-percentage point lead in the same poll’s head-to-head match-up the previous week.
The race had not been as close since late July, when the poll showed a 3-point lead from Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Trump, 43 percent to 40 percent.”
In a four-way race, Mrs. Trump’s gains on Mrs. Clinton put him within the poll’s 2-point margin of error, 39 percent to 37 percent. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson took 8 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein garnered 3 percent in the four-way race.

Not sure I agree with the notion that the GOP and Trump's constituency are one and the same. Definitely plenty in the GOP are with him, resulting in his nomination. However Trump has been consistently noncommital regarding party affiliation. Recall he did not pledge support for the GOP candidate. To Trump, the GOP is just another vehicle.
That said, he's definitely appealing to the nativists. There is a #NeverTrump faction in the GOP - basically a coalition of GOP establishment and Cruz supporters. Trump's support within the "conservative" electorate I think is capped.
Still though, immigration has been an issue no one has touched in decades. Polling is showing this an issue border states are interested in. The establishment's avoidance of this facet for decades is coming home to roost.
I don't envy America's choices this cycle. They both suck. It's a damn shame a solid third party candidate hasn't emerged and is as clear a sign as any how much of a lock the Dems and Republicans have on the election cycle. Imagine with racist Trump and corrupt Shillary, the next best candidate Gary Johnson can't break 10% in the polls? The system eh capable of reform from within - this election proving it to me in spades :(

Email Shows CNN Contributor, Now DNC Chairwoman, Tipped Off Clinton On Town Hall Questions
http://www.westernjournalism.com/email-shows-cnn-contributor-now-dnc-chairwoman-tipped-off-clinton-on-town-hall-questions/
Donna Brazile, who was a regular contributor to CNN before she was picked to head the Democratic National Committee, gave inside information to the Clinton campaign before a March town hall, according to a leaked email released by WikiLeaks.
Brazile was tapped to lead the DNC after previous leaked emails showed that former DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., worked to help Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the expense of primary challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
A March 12 email from Brazile, leaked as part of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails, has as its subject line, “From time to time I get the questions in advance.”

1. CNN seems not to mind compromising professional standards of objectivity vis-a-vis skewering Donald Trump.
2. Ordinarily they would have been all over Hurricane Matthew but campaign season relegated the loss of life in the unfashionable South to footnotes on the ticker tape.
Whereas, four years ago, also in the lead up to a national election, Hurricane Sandy had them bubbling. Even given the distortions in economic losses and fatalities, there is persisting human suffering that has not been captured sufficiently on CNN.

At Wellesley College in Massachusetts, alma mater of Hillary Clinton, two male students from nearby Babson College drove through campus in a pickup truck adorned with a large Trump flag, parked outside a meeting house for black students, and spat at a black female student, according to campus black student organizations.
After being ejected by the campus police, the two students bragged in a video that was widely viewed (https://m.facebook.com/sydney.robertson.50/posts/10210780785293367) over social media.
Reports of hostility toward minorities were not limited to university campuses. In Durham, N.C., walls facing a busy intersection were painted with graffiti Tuesday night with the message, “Black lives don’t matter and neither does your votes,” according to local news reports.
Also according to local news reports, a baseball dugout in Wellsville, N.Y., was spray painted with a swastika and the message “Make America white again.” Another swastika, replacing the “T” in Trump, appeared on a storefront in Philadelphia, along with “Sieg heil 2016.”
Incidents were also reported at several high schools. At York County School of Technology in York, Pa., a video circulated of students carrying a Trump sign and yelling “white power” as they walked through the hall on Wednesday. “The whole situation is absolutely horrible,” someone posted on the PTA’s Facebook page.
Students at Royal Oak Middle School in Royal Oak, Mich., chanted “build the wall” in the cafeteria on Wednesday, according to a statement by Shawn Lewis-Lakin, the superintendent, who said a video was shared on social media.
Throughout the week, threatening messages on social media against racial and religious minorities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have spiked.
Racist episodes occur regularly at places throughout the United States, including college campuses. Mr. Trump’s election, though, seems to have worked as an accelerant.
But the police said that at least some reported incidents on campuses were fake. A Muslim student at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette who said she was attacked Wednesday by two men — one wearing a Trump hat — recanted her story on Thursday, admitting she had made it up, the police said.
