Exclusive — Donald Trump Declares War On Obamatrade: ‘Time To Send ...

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is hammering President Barack Obama, his administration and Congress for completely failing the American worker when it comes to trade policy—whacking the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact with 12 Pacific Rim nations that the Obama just finalized in Atlanta as a deal that jeopardizes U.S. jobs.

Mike Huckabee: Americans ‘Punched in the Gut’ by Obama’s Trade Deal

Gov. Mike Huckabee slammed President Barack Obama’s new campaign to win Hill approval for a new Pacific-wide free-trade treaty with 11 countries. “Once again, American workers are getting punched in the gut by Washington because this deal is a handout to insiders, interest groups, Obama’s allies and Asia,” said Huckabee, a GOP presidential candidate and former Arkansas governor, shortly after the president announced the completed deal Oct. 5.

Obama has been punching us since he got in office!

Jeb Bush Needs Big Fundraising Report

The third quarter fundraising period for presidential campaigns is over, having closed Wednesday. Detailed numbers won’t be publicly available until later this week, but campaigns are free to report their results at any time. More than any other candidate, Jeb Bush needs to report a strong fundraising quarter to quell growing doubts about his campaign.

Judicial Watch Marshalls Massive Legal Effort in Clinton Email Scandal

As JW president, I have the honor of reporting to you our successes in holding our government to account. We beat the Obama IRS and exposed its ongoing corruption. We exposed the deepest Benghazi cover-ups all the way to the Oval Office. We forced the creation of a Select Committee on Benghazi. We forced the Clinton email scandal into the open. And then we uncovered even more facts in a way that embarrasses most of the media and Congress (and helped lead to the resignation of John Boehner as Speaker of the House).

Desperation time for Hillary: Bill Clinton hits the campaign trail

 

Washington Times:

They’d kept him off the trail for months, but Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign is finally deploying former President Bill Clinton, accepting the political risks he brings as worthy tradeoff if he can shore up support for his wife among longtime Democrats and build enthusiasm among Hispanic and black voters.

The man who just months ago said he’d be little more than a backstage adviser is now out doing interviews defending Mrs. Clinton and dabbling in critiques of the GOP presidential field.

And his October schedule is shaping up to be his most high-profile on the campaign trail so far. He headlined a West Virginia Democratic Party Jefferson Jackson Dinner Friday, and is traveling out to Michigan to fundraise on October 7. He’s already notched fundraising appearances in Kansas City and Atlanta.

“[Hillary‘s] campaign has not been the easy road people thought it was going to be,” said Robert Shrum, the Democratic consultant who worked on the failed campaigns of John Kerry and Al Gore. “And Bill can be a very effective surrogate. You’d be crazy not to use him.”

Using him, however, involves risks, as Mrs. Clinton found out during her failed 2008 bid, when the former president was front and center, walking parade routes with her in Iowa and New Hampshire, introducing her stump speeches and playing attack dog with the media and the other candidates in the race, most notably then-Sen. Barack Obama.

Deploying the former president is a calculated risk.

LOL She really is desperate. Deploying him is definitely a risk!

• As former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush struggles with declining po

Former President George W. Bush is popular still among Republicans — especially in the South, and Jeb Bush is being urged to use him in the key early primary state of South Carolina, The New York Times reports. 

Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto noted on Monday that George W. Bush's popularity has "improved measurably" since his last days in office.

That has advisers telling Jeb Bush, "Why not? The whole world knows you are his brother. Embrace him," Cavuto said.

Adriana Cohen of The Boston Herald agreed with Cavuto that Jeb Bush faces a "double-edged sword" using his brother.

Sharyl Attkisson: Democrats and African-Americans Tell Me They’re Voting for Trump (Video)

Jim Hoft Oct 5th, 2015 10:22 pm 31 Comments

Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson told Sean Hannity tonight that several Democratic friends are voting for Donald Trump this year.

Some of those people – People aren’t really talking much about this, are actually interested in Donald Trump. Again, I’ve had friends who normally vote Democrat, including women Democrats and African-Americans tell me that they’re crossing over to vote for Trump this year. So, I think anything is possible.

Bwahaha… Trump Pranks Rubio – Sends Him Case of Bottled Water and Towels for his “Sweating”

Jim Hoft Oct 5th, 2015 8:35 pm 14 Comments

Marco Rubio is well known for dry mouth and constant sweating.

Rubio’s awkward stretch for a sip of water made headlines.

Rubio sweated his way through the CNN debate.

Today Donald Trump sent Marco Rubio a case of Trump Water.

And he included some towels, “Since you’re always sweating.”
CNN reported:

Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on Sen. Marco Rubio with a special delivery for his rival: “Trump Ice Natural Spring Water.”

Trump has previously trained his fire on Rubio, claiming he has the worst voting attendance record in the U.S. Senate and that he sweats a lot. But CNN learned that the Trump campaign sent a “care package” to Rubio’s Washington campaign office that contained a 24-bottle case of “Trump Ice Natural Spring Water,” with Trump’s face on it, two “Make America Great Again” towels and bumper stickers and a note reading, “Since you’re always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!”

A Trump campaign aide said they added the towels “for him sweating,” and described the overall gesture as a lighthearted prank.

Fresh twists roil House GOP races

 

By Scott Wong - 10/05/15 08:14 PM EDT

House GOP leadership races took new twists and turns on Monday, just days before rank-and-file Republicans head behind closed doors to pick the next Speaker.

ADVERTISEMENT

Outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) postponed elections for majority leader and whip at the behest of conservatives who argued that Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) might lose the Speaker’s race and end up keeping his current job.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) held court with reporters for nearly an hour, capping a three-day media blitz to promote his underdog bid for Speaker.

McCarthy is still the favorite to succeed Boehner, but Chaffetz’s entry has shaken up the once-sleepy contest, raising the potential for a protracted and messy floor fight for the House’s top job.

Speaking to reporters, Chaffetz conceded that the affable McCarthy, his “close friend and ally,” has more than enough GOP votes to be nominated for Speaker during closed-door balloting on Thursday.

But Chaffetz said the powerful California Republican is short of the 218 votes he needs in a formal floor vote. In part, that’s because many House Republicans see a vote for McCarthy, the current No. 2 leader, as a vote for Boehner. And that is a position they don’t want to have to defend back home, Chaffetz argued.

If McCarthy can’t close the deal, Chaffetz said, he’ll be waiting in the wings, pitching himself as a candidate who can bridge the divide between centrists who back McCarthy and conservatives who are distrustful of him.

McCarthy’s “math problem is on the floor. Clearly, members are recognizing that their constituents don’t want to perpetuate the status quo, that simply giving existing leadership a promotion is not going to work well,” Chaffetz told reporters.

“Nobody has disagreed that the current majority leader is short of 218. It’s just the reality,” the Oversight Committee chairman said.

McCarthy allies don’t appear to be worried. They say the majority leader will easily lock up the 124 votes he needs to be nominated for Speaker. And they believe all but a handful of Republicans will rally behind him on the House floor vote, which Boehner set for Oct. 29.

But McCarthy’s statement during a Fox News interview last week linking the Benghazi Committee to Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers unnerved some Republicans, and Chaffetz sought to demonstrate Monday how much better a communicator he is than his GOP rival.

Chaffetz sat at the center of the room with two dozen reporters fanned out around him in a semi-circle. A frequent cable news guest who’s cozy with the Capitol press corps, Chaffetz appeared at home.

“We need a Speaker who speaks,” he said, a not-so-subtle jab at McCarthy’s gaffe.

McCarthy loyalists have dismissed Chaffetz’s bid as a publicity stunt. They don’t think he has the “political capital” to win a leadership spot, suggesting instead that he’s raising his profile ahead of a possible gubernatorial bid in Utah.  

“I think Jason Chaffetz saw a press opportunity, a press opening, and jumped on it. He has certainly never been one to shy away from the press,” said one source close to McCarthy.

“If Jason Chaffetz is going to challenge McCarthy on the floor, then he is not doing it for the good of the conference or the American people,” the source added. “He is just an opportunist taking advantage of chaos.”

But Chaffetz insisted his play for the Speaker’s gavel isn’t about ego or publicity.

“I got plenty of ego, and I also get plenty of publicity. I don’t need any more,” he said.

Asked if he was worried about possible retribution if he loses to McCarthy, Chaffetz pointed out that he was recently targeted by a Secret Service leak showing he had been rejected by the agency more than a decade ago.

“You can fire at me all day long. I just got a colonoscopy from the Secret Service,” said Chaffetz, whose panel oversees the agency. “The worst they could come up with is that I wanted to be one of them.”

But the last conversation between Chaffetz and McCarthy wasn’t pleasant. After a fundraiser in New York on Friday morning, Chaffetz approached McCarthy and told him he was challenging him for Speaker.

McCarthy “wasn’t too happy,” Chaffetz said. But he declined to go into details, calling it a “private conversation.”

Chaffetz wasn’t able to connect with many members over the weekend, but he said he has flipped some unnamed McCarthy backers to his side. And as he spoke, his Apple Watch kept buzzing as members returned his phone calls.

One conservative lawmaker who had been open to a McCarthy Speakership said he could support Chaffetz.

“Chaffetz definitely has legs,” the conservative lawmaker told The Hill.

GOP leaders are hoping to avoid an ugly intraparty battle on the House floor, which would complicate the next Speaker’s ability to raise the nation’s debt limit in early November and avert a government shutdown in December.

But some political watchers said Boehner’s decision to postpone down-ballot elections until after the floor vote for Speaker raised more doubts about McCarthy’s ability to seal the deal. If McCarthy can’t win on the floor, he would remain in the majority leader post through 2016, eliminating the need for mid-session elections for the No. 2 and No. 3 jobs.

And Republicans say they would continue voting on the floor until a simple majority of the House agrees on a new Speaker. In the Speaker’s election in 1856, lawmakers cast 133 ballots over a two-month period before finally settling on Massachusetts Rep. Nathaniel Banks.

Democrats are gleeful at the prospect of GOP infighting over the Speaker’s race. 

“This focus on political posturing instead of progress is going to harm all House Republicans in the end,” said Meredith Kelley, spokeswoman for House Democrats’ campaign arm.

Clinton searches for theme

By Niall Stanage and Amie Parnes

 

At Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, staffers are invited to complete a phrase that is written on a wall: “Hillary for ...”

Beside it, staffers have plastered dozens of sticky notes with various words and phrases.

While the wall could be seen as a freewheeling experiment in the manner of a tech startup, it could also be regarded as symptomatic of a nagging problem for Clinton in the 2016 race: namely, the difficulty she has had in explaining why she’s running for president.

“The wall of stickies makes me nervous, because she should be for one vision for America and then maybe she achieves that vision with a bunch of policies,” said Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons. “I’m probably for most of the things on the stickies, but voters will have a tough time digesting a campaign with about a hundred policies.” 

David Axelrod, one of the masterminds of President Obama’s 2008 victory, has persistently warned that Clinton needs to provide a clear rationale for why she’s seeking the White House.

“ ‘Hillary: Live with it’ is no rallying cry!” Axelrod tweeted last month while bemoaning that the Clinton camp was running a “grinding, tactical race.”

Last December, Axelrod had warned that Clinton needed to show she was “running for a purpose and not just for a promotion.” He has also said, “You have to stand for something, you have to fight for something, and people need to know what that is.”

While Clinton loyalists might complain that Axelrod’s frequent barbs reflect the bad blood generated during the 2008 race, others in the Democratic Party share his concerns.

“Nothing about the campaign reads as fresh and new, but rather as cautious, risk-averse and private,” one Democratic strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said of the Clinton campaign.
