    This isn't an endorsement of Clinton so am posting this here.
    370 Economist including 8 Nobel Laureates warn about Trump. Full text of letter is here.
    http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/EconomistLetter11012016.pdf

    This part rings particularly true to me and sums up what I've been saying about Trump running a sales job on those who think he's going to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US.
    " He has misled voters in states like Ohio and MIchigan by asserting that the renegotiation of NAFTA or the imposition of tariffs on China would substantially increase employment in manufacturing. IN fact, manufacturing's share of employment has been declining since the 1970's and is mostly related to automation, not trade.

    He claims to champion former manufacturing workers, but has no plan to assist their transition to well-compensated service sector positions, Instead, he has diverted policy discussions to options that ignore both the reality of technolgical progress and the benefits of international trade."

    Also I strongly agree with this and is perhaps the most dangerous part of Trump's campaign.
    "He promotes magical thinking and conspiracy theories over sober assessments of feasible economic policy options."

    White nationalists plot Election Day show of force

    Neo-Nazi leader Andrew Anglin plans to muster thousands of poll watchers across all 50 states. His partners at the alt-right website “the Right Stuff” are touting plans to set up hidden cameras at polling places in Philadelphia and hand out liquor and mar1juana in the city’s “ghetto” on Election Day to induce residents to stay home. The National Socialist Movement, various factions of the Ku Klux Klan and the white nationalist American Freedom Party all are deploying members to watch polls, either “informally” or, they say, through the Trump campaign.

    The Oath Keepers, a group of former law enforcement and military members that often shows up in public heavily armed, is advising members to go undercover and conduct “intelligence-gathering” at polling places, and Donald Trump ally Roger Stone is organizing his own exit polling, aiming to monitor thousands of precincts across the country.

    It's great for the Philly voter and chances are the neo-Nazis get arrested for possession with intent to distribute. Looks like a win-win.

    I suspect those "hidden cameras" will be so hidden that they will not exist and those "thousands" of poll watchers will be about a dozen sporadic yahoos.

    Edit: update nvm

    That would make them criminals. But if they keep it under half an ounce, at least they'll avoid felony charges.

    Hey guys: let's think of more crimes to do on election day in support of Our Great Welfare King Donald J. Suckin-the-government-tit Trump.

    I "liked" this post, but it is, of course, terrifying. Not being an economist, I honestly didn't realize just HOW ridiculous and dishonest his economic utterances have been. That letter is not a political piece. It's a bunch of people who understand the economy issuing one last warning to their fellow citizens. I hope people can read it, but I doubt it sways any opinions at this stage, sad to say. Thanks for sharing it though. I'm sharing it with some friends and family.

    OK, this is not a knock on Melania Trump at all, but her main focus will be preventing social media bullying? She does realize that Twitter is one of the major social media outlets, right? I mean, the best comedy writers couldn't come up with this. Social media will have a field day with this.
