Not even close...
While people don't want to admit it there is actually a pretty big difference between Cletus voting for a racist white politician and Cletus himself being the politician voted for...
Not to mention how much of an idiot Trump is and how slimy the people he is around is...the second your name gets mentioned with his their is a full court press by the media and everything you ever did gets put under a microscope...
Trump get impeached and you think it is going to be that way with Pence in office? I don't think so...
if you want to criticize polls for not changing their approach in presidential elections after dubya's win while losing the popular vote and instead show us polling that predicts electoral votes then do that. but those polls that show a candidate up 3 or down 3 nationally are basically just a poll of the popular vote and if any poll showed hillary up by that metric then it would have still been accurate even though she lost the electoral college. it is what it is. she also lost 3 critical states in total by the same amount of people that show up at a football stadium. so crowing about how wrong the polls were is foolhardy. maybe a national poll is pointless, but they weren't wrong that more people would vote for hillary over trump.

Novartis Top Lawyer Departs Over Cohen Payments
Felix Ehrat was a co-signatory of the agreement to hire Trump’s personal lawyer for $100,000 a month

ZURICH—A top executive at Swiss drugmaker Novartis AG is stepping down as the global fallout widens from the recent disclosure of payments to a company owned by U.S. President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer.
Novartis said Wednesday that general counsel Felix Ehrat, 61 years old, is retiring from the company in connection with $1.2 million in payments it made over the course of a year to Michael Cohen’s shell company, Essential Consultants LLC.
It was the second high-profile ouster in less than a week in relation to payments to the company. AT&T Inc., which paid Mr. Cohen’s company $600,000 last year, said Friday that hiring him as a political consultant was a “big mistake” and ousted its top Washington executive, Bob Quinn.
Novartis has said the payments, made in $100,000 monthly installments under a contract that ended in February, were aimed at gaining insight into U.S. health-care policy. Novartis Chief Executive Vasant Narasimhan last week called the agreement a mistake and denied any involvement himself.
The company said Wednesday that Mr. Narasimhan’s predecessor, Joseph Jimenez, signed off on the arrangement.
Mr. Jimenez, who stepped down in January, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Last week’s disclosure is an embarrassment for Novartis, having spent shareholder money on Mr. Cohen, who appears to have produced little help.
“Although the contract was legally in order, it was an error,” Mr. Ehrat said in a statement released by Novartis on Wednesday. “As a co-signatory with our former CEO, I take personal responsibility to bring the public debate on this matter to an end.”
Novartis, one of the world’s biggest drug companies by sales, said last week that its aim was to gain better understanding of Trump administration policy-making, especially regarding matters like the status of the Affordable Care Act. But it realized from its first meeting in March 2017 that it wouldn’t be helpful and stopped engaging with Mr. Cohen. The company said it determined it couldn’t scrap the contract and continued making the payments.
Essential Consultants is the same firm Mr. Cohen used to pay $130,000 to a former adult-film actress, who goes by the name Stormy Daniels, in October 2016 to keep her from discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen deny the encounter took place.
Mr. Ehrat will be replaced at Novartis by Shannon Thyme Klinger, who currently holds the position of chief ethics, risk and compliance officer. She will be appointed effective June 1, Novartis said.

Redemption is Coming
This is a nonstory. Donald Trump Jr was not under oath, he refused to answer questions and stated that he had attorney-client privilege with his dad, who is not an attorney. This is a bunch of nonsense.
I'll pass and wait for Mueller

This guy is really dumb. If he's out there spilling it like that with no oath and a senate there to protect him, let's see how he does with Muller under oath.
Mueller needs to get this mutherfukker
