Trump hates it when he gets endorsements! !

Moore Information polled for Lisa Murkowski over past few days... finds Trump only +3 in Alaska. No Dem has won Alaska since 64 I believe.

Let's face it. As I said earlier. neither of these candidates is ideal.

In fact, they are both very much alike. She lies, he lies. She enables, he enables. She has a foundation that hides money, ditto for him. She disrespects women, so does he.

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to run for the office. I personally have never done anything egregious, but I am sure they could drag up a few things I did earlier in life and make an issue of it. I would love a statute of limitations on things to be dredged up. Clinton infidelity, off the table. Trumps female denigration - off the table. Let's stick to the current issues and be done with this. Can't wait til both of them disappear off my radar screen. Just tired of it. I am so tired of it, that while Hurricane Matthew is nothing other than tragic, I have actually welcomed the change in the coverage.

It would be interesting to draw a parallel between Donald Trump and Ross Perot. Ross, of course, putting in a presidential bid back in 1992. I honestly cannot remember how the Island as a whole swayed in favor or opposed to Ross Perot, but I remember many supporters.


The three prominent "I'm a businessman so if you elect me it will not be "business as usual" candidates in recent time that stick out in my mind are Ross Perot, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump.


Only one of the three won their election so far.

The man is a freakin IDIOT!...I just can't.
Lobotomy huh? What do the people voting for the pathological liar that's literally gotten people killed, lied about THAT and busted by leak for attempting to cover it up?

Say what you want about Trump, but theirs no denying that Hillary is a criminal and liar that can't be trusted. Trump may **** off a lot of people with what comes out of his mouth, but at least he says what he thinks, which Hillary has PROVEN time and time again she says what works for HER at any given time.

Trump campaign since the debate:

1) Claimed he was given a bad microphone.

2) Claimed he won the debate.

3) Asked people to check out a sex tape.

4) Mocked Clinton for being sick three weeks ago (compete with visual re-enactment).

5) Admitted-- and then bragged-- that he has paid no or almost no income tax for years.

6) Accused Clinton of cheating on her husband.

7) Implied that veterans who get PTSD weren't "strong" and that they just needed a prescription.
Rough week for donny. Even Melania is disgusted with him. Maybe Donny can be the first President to swap out first ladies!!

Although I live in the SF Bay Area, I am well acquainted with some Long Islander's. It seems to me that there is a lot of diversity on the island, though.

So when you all, or just the OP, wonders or expects Donald Trump to win Long Island, I would like to read some specifics about areas where you think he will do well and where he won't.

Specifically....

Brooklyn?

Jericho?

The Hamptons?

Montauk?

Great Neck?

Any particular county?

Where is he most likely to do well, and where is he least likely to do well?

I spend a lot of time in NYC and L.I. .... in the city, a lot of people dislike Trump. They just are very liberal. Long Island has really changed this year... a lot of support for Trump everywhere. Most people I talk to on the island are very enthusiastic about Trump. In the city, he is hated.

Though this has been debated ad nauseum Brooklyn is one of the boroughs of NY, therefore, not part of LI. But to your point, an interesting question.

The demographics of LI have been changing and that may or may not have changed the voting response. I know factually Great Neck had always been solidly Democratic, but that may have changed. Can't speak to other parts.
