Hillary Clinton Is Winning Among This Historically Republican Demographic

In yet another showing of how peculiar this presidential race has been, Hillary Clinton has gained the support of a demographic that almost always votes Republican.

Via Fortune:

According to a recent Bloomberg poll, Clinton is leading Donald Trump among top earners, which describes voters with an annual household income of $100,000 or more. Though it’s a narrow margin—46% to 42%—it was still highly unexpected. Republicans have won among top earners between 1976 and 1992, and since 1996 have either won or tied in that demographic.

When asked which candidate would be better for their personal investments, Trump leads Clinton 45% to 36%. Additionally, he wins in subcategories such as job creation and bringing change to Washington. However, when it comes to fighting for the middle class, temperament, and foreign policy, Clinton is the winner. Despite who they personally support, 56% of top earners predicted that Clinton would win the election.

Clinton has also widened her fundraising gap over Trump. Though Trump raised more small donations than Clinton, the Wall Street Journal reports that in August she raised about $20 million more than he did. Her campaign ended the month with a total of $194 million in cash on hand, about $91 million more than Trump’s campaign.

Trump has said that he doesn’t need to spend as much money as Clinton does, which makes sense considering how much free advertising he’s received from the media. One report estimated that eight major media outlets provided him with about $55 million in free advertising in the span of 12 months during the primary season.

Ex President George H.W. Bush To Vote For Hillary Clinton Says Kennedy Family Member

The controversial Bush family have made it abundantly clear that they do NOT support presidential hopeful Donald Trump or his “political” antics — so much so — that the eldest President stone cold republican Bush is planning on voting for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election. That’s a MAJOR endorsement for the female Democratic nominee.

According to KTLA —A daughter of Robert Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, said in a Facebook post that former Republican President George H.W. Bush told her he’s voting for Hillary Clinton.

Townsend, a Democrat who served as Maryland lieutenant governor for eight years and goes by Hartington online, posted a photo with the former president to Facebook: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!” wrote Kennedy Townsend, a niece of President John F. Kennedy.

Jim McGrath, a spokesman for Bush, did not confirm nor deny the claim.

“The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days,” McGrath told CNN. “He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim.”

Ever since former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush dropped out of the Republican primaries, the Bushes have remained silent about the 2016 election.

Jeb Bush has repeatedly denounced Trump and said he’s not planning to vote for him in the general election, but has fallen short of saying that he would support the Democratic nominee.

Well ain’t that something?! This might be one of the biggest turn of events this election!

What do you think of George H ‘dub-yuh’ switching political teams?

Hillary Clinton’s Health Now Becomes A Big Concern For Voters

According to Fortune Magazine, voters are now officially reaching worried about Hillary Clinton’s medical fitness.

A new Morning Consult poll finds that the Democratic presidential nominee’s health scare on Sunday, when she was forced to leave a September 11 memorial service early and was videotaped nearly collapsing while getting into her car, has already begun shifting voters’ views about her wellness. Clinton’s campaign revealed that she was diagnosed with pneumonia by her personal physician last week and felt dehydrated at the event, but that the candidate will be back on the campaign trail soon.

There are still a number of open questions about both major party nominees’ health and medical histories. For instance, it’s unclear whether or not Clinton received the pneumonia vaccinations recommended for everybody over the age of 65; Trump has barely released any empirical data about his health at all aside from a bombastic and unusual one-page doctor’s note from last year, although his campaign says more information will “soon” be forthcoming. (The full extent of that data will not, however, be disclosed during an hour-long interview between Trump and celebrity Dr. Oz Mehmet about Trump’s “personal health regimen” set to air Thursday—although the real estate mogul reportedly surprised the audience with a brief one-page summary of a recent physical during the taping.)

So far, there’s no evidence voters are particularly concerned about the Republican nominee’s health, even though he would be the oldest first-term president ever elected Clinton would be a close second behind Ronald Reagan and the poll suggests voters are increasingly concerned about her wellness.

If it ain’t one thing, its another. This tweet puts it all into perspective.
