Trump looking like a loser

Phillip Klein:
Donald Trump is getting schlonged
...
But now I'm looking at these polls, at this RealClearPolitics place, they're good people over there. And I'm seeing 12 polls in a row that have Trump losing by an average of 6 points. And it's not like Hillary is doing fantastic, believe me. She's only at like 44 percent, which is bad. It's like worse than that loser Romney was polling at this timef our years ago. And he was a big disappointment to us all, OK? He couldn't get the job done, and now Hillary is doing even worse than that – and remember, that Romney guy was a really big time loser. Big time. But Trump is down at 38 percent, even though everybody knows who he is. A Reuters poll — which Trump thought was doing a really great job during the primaries, by the way, he really thought they were doing a great job — they even had him down at 32 percent. Which is pathetic, to tell you the truth. Basically, he's dropping like a dog.

Trump was going to change things and win with the blacks. The blacks were supposed to love Trump because they understand how much Trump loves the blacks. He even has an African-American over here! He loves the Hispanics so much that he eats authentic Trump taco bowls (which, by the way, are really amazing, the best), and he was supposed to win them over, too. He was supposed to win women, because he's so great for women. But now I'm looking at this ABC-Washington Post poll, and I'm seeing like 94 percent of blacks and 89 percent of Hispanics have a negative view of Trump – and 77 percent of women. This is not good folks. Not. Good.

Klein does a good job of putting this in language that Trump can understand.  Trump does not seem to comprehend how the media picture has also changed in the general election.  The insults and innuendo don't get the same play when used against a Democrat that they did when used against other Republicans.   The media helped him in the primary because they thought he would be the weakest candidate to run against Hillary and now they are turning on him big time, while he is floundering around in Trump Tower rather than trying to consolidate the GOP.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
