    Indeed, but why delete the poll?

    Was Takei uncomfortable by the fact there was such a small margin between? Maybe he didn't dare to see how it would have turned out in 8 hours time?

    Florida a familiar and convenient rally stop for Trump

    In Brevard, though, Trump received almost 58 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 38 percent. He won nearby Indian River County with more than 60 percent of the vote.

    Palm Beach County, in comparison, only gave Trump 41 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 57 percent. Orange County only gave Trump 36 percent.

    Nevertheless, there is at least one attempt at getting Central Florida Trump supporters out to the rally, with a bit of enticement.

    An anonymous ad on Craiglist posted Wednesday states “Enthusiastic patriots [are] wanted” to attend.

    “We are looking for people to show their excitement, enthusiasm, and what makes America GREAT this weekend,” the ad states.

    The ad also prominently mentions merchandise tents at the rally, stating that rallygoers can “simply refer to this posting at any one of those merchandise stands and enjoy a complimentary gift or cash voucher as a gesture of appreciation for coming out to show your support.”

    One day you'll understand why you're wrong, and you may never sleep soundly again. Because if you think Hillary Clinton would have enacted a fraction of the pain and suffering Trump will (and already has) you haven't been paying attention.

    Paying for President Trump's travel and security costs

    President Trump is spending his third consecutive weekend away from Washington, D.C., at his luxury resort Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The series of getaways is drawing the attention of government watchdogs and members of Congress over associated security and travel costs.

    Visits to his southern golf resort –- which Trump dubs the "Winter White House" –- will continue frequently over the next four years, aides say.

    "The taxpayer is on the hook every time the president flies to Mar-a-Lago. Every time the president uses Air Force One, we pay for it," said Tom Fitton, president of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which has been filing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to obtain government records and reveal the full cost of presidential trips. The group has monitored President Obama and now President Trump.
    The Trump administration won’t provide dollar figures for the initial trips to Florida, but one presidential trip to the Palm Beach area in 2013 cost taxpayers around $3 million dollars, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimate from 2016.

    "If President Trump is going to go back and forth to Florida every weekend, those costs could really skyrocket," Fitton said. "The presidency is too big, it costs too much money and if anyone is able to cut down the cost, maybe President Trump can."

    Fitton suggested Trump spend weekends at one of his properties closer to Washington, or even Camp David, the presidential retreat.

    That you might have done less damage(Could guess. Can't know) doesn't somehow make you fit enough to be worthy of a vote.

    The reality of it looks more like...

    - "Someone With A Law Degree Set Up A Private Server Knowing(By Virtue Of The Law Degree) That Said Server Would Circumvent FOIA Requests."

    In addition to that, this same person treated it like it was a joke when the press questioned if that was an issue.

    So, yeah. This idea that it amounts to "So Having E-Mails"? That is a pretty flawed idea.
    This is insane, that you cared that much about her emails to not vote against Trump. That you cared so much about emails that you overlooked sexual assault and blatant racism.

    ‘It’ll be fun!’: New audio reveals Trump invited party goers to sit in on interviews for cabinet positions

    Trump might as well have held a Cabinet Pageant, paraded them in front of the guests and let them vote.

    Basically, you live in a world where the only two beverages are stale camomile tea and arsenic, so you choose to die of thirst.

    You vote for someone that is actually worthy of holding the office. The end.

    Correction: That's not Drz's vote, but the vote of whatever right winger's ideas her regurgitates here. Possibly the same guy who rallied the troops to swing Takei's poll so that he could screen grab the results in another faked "gotcha" moment.

    If the best you've got is "Well, I guess I'll find somebody to blame...", there's a reason your candidate lost.
