Quote

A former contestant on Donald Trump’s reality television competition says he has “potentially damaging” audio of the billionaire from his time on the show, according to a new report.

Brian McDowell, a contestant on the third season of “The Apprentice” in 2005, will not release the tape because, he said, he hopes Trump wins the presidency, Business Insider reported Monday.

McDowell declined to provide the outlet with his recording of Trump, who is now the Republican presidential nominee. McDowell told the news publication he refused similar overtures from People magazine and The New York Times.

An independent source confirmed the existence of the audio footage to Business Insider and McDowell’s analysis of its possible impact on Trump.

McDowell, the second candidate fired from “The Apprentice” during his season, told the outlet he is no longer under a nondisclosure agreement from his time on the series.

The reality television participant added he is aware a pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC is offering $5 million to help pay for legal fees stemming from possible violations of such an agreement.

“[The election] is bigger than Trump and $5 million,” he said of a “leak fee” first pitched last month by American Bridge and its founder, longtime Clinton ally David Brock.

Last Night Was the High-Point of the Democratic Party’s Cool
by CHARLES C. W. COOKE November 8, 2016 12:45 PM @CHARLESCWCOOKE

Barack Obama, Jon Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen held a rally in Philadelphia last night. At the end, Hillary Clinton showed up and ruined the vibe. As pretty much everybody noted when the images started swimming through Twitter, it looked pretty cool:

Neat, huh? But, watching it this morning, a thought occurred to me: This might be the last period for a while during which the Democratic party is cool.

Quote

The Republicans, by contrast, are younger, more diverse, and come from a broader collection of states. The GOP is never going to be cool — a certain squareness is in the nature of conservatism — and, if the party continues as it has this year, it is never going to be taken seriously, either. But if it does decide to change, it seems well-set to do so nevertheless. Who are its leaders? The Senate Majority Leader is 74, so we can put him in the same camp as Warren, Sanders, Clinton, and co. But Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, is 46. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, the runners up in this year’s primaries, are both 45. And, going forward, the GOP has a strong range of younger guns just waiting to take the reins. Among them are: Cory Gardner (42), Tim Scott (51), Nikki Haley (44), Susanna Martinez (57), Tom Cotton (39), Dan Sullivan (51), Ben Sasse (44), Joni Ernst (46), Rand Paul (53), Scott Walker (49), Brian Sandoval (53) — and, for now, Kelly Ayotte (48). The oldest governor in the country is a California Democrat; the youngest is a Southern Republican. The oldest senator in the country is a California Democrat; the youngest is a Southern Republican. All is not as it seems in paradise.

Azusa police urged residents to stay out of the area and asked all residents to shelter in place.

Dumb question : Over here, polling stations in big cities generally tend to close later than countryside. Is it the case in the US too ? If so, do it skew early results ?

benjipwns · « **Reply #22056 on:** November 08, 2016, 07:30:54 PM »

They close at roughly the same time (depends on how many people still in line), but it takes longer to process the votes because there's so many more of them. They often do come in after much of the rest of the state.

That's why in 2004 they refused to concede Ohio because the outstanding votes were in the Cleveland area and if Kerry won 150% of them he'd win the state.

VomKriege · « **Reply #22057 on:** November 08, 2016, 07:32:55 PM »

That's what I expected yeah. Early projections are gonna be leaning rural and probably Republican then for most states, I suppose... ?
