Your Halloween 'scare':...For any who may be paying attention: As previously referenced here in this tiny blog (link) and at least one other posting elsewhere, the 'Daisy" nuclear ad of 1964 has been resurrected. ...And updated. (Language warning:)

Facts. Those pesky facts: Reposted excerpt↓ from a 10/12/16 Wall Street Journal article by Joe Palazzolo, "So You Want to be a Trump Poll Watcher". No affiliation or ownership:
"Donald Trump’s campaign has been recruiting poll watchers at rallies and on social media. The Republican presidential nominee has warned of potential voter fraud since at least the summer and with increasing frequency in recent days, telling crowds on Monday in Pennsylvania that the election could be “stolen from us.”
Evidence of the type of election fraud Mr. Trump seems to be worried about—unqualified people impersonating voters—is scant, as The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, but his calls for vigilance may nevertheless lead some supporters to polling places for reasons other than their own vote.
With that in mind, we asked Sara Rose, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, to explain the laws that regulate poll watching in her state, a key battleground where Mr. Trump has warned of vote rigging.
Mr. Trump’s calls for volunteers notwithstanding, very few people are allowed inside a polling place if they aren’t there to cast a ballot...."

(Quick comment:) Trump's continuing, party-supported campaign for president is proof (that) there is no honest, courageous leadership within the national Republican party. If there were, this offensive clown would be effectively forced to drop out.
...(Once-again) "condemning" his statements/actions without also (immediately) demanding the end of his ridiculous candidacy.... = next-to-nothing.10/8/16 update: Apparently it is "too late" to replace Donald Trump on the ballot.

"...TRUMP: So we will have a big statement and I hope you are going to be watching.
BARTIROMO: I'm definitely going to be watching, but the bottom line is this: we know that Obama now, he was born in America, correct?
TRUMP: You watch my statement. We have to keep the suspense going. You my friends, you watch the statement. I think you'll be happy..."
Trump wins. Again: This promoted, fake, non-story -- at least for those who have understood the facts for years -- is now being reported by media all over the world. (Ref. links below.)
That was (and is) Trump's goal. He doesn't - and many of his supporters also don't - care about bothersome facts. It's all about the phony show (and its promotion), instead....E.g. (a/k/a 'Trump (fantasy) nirvana'):

Sent this to @realDonaldTrump spox, to ask how he will fulfill promise to give $5M if assured Pres. Obama born in US pic.twitter.com/Uc751PeGrl— David Fahrenthold (@Fahrenthold) September 16, 2016
"“Well, I’m not that shocked actually. It’s fairly typical. We got other things to attend to,” Obama said. “I was pretty confident about where I was born. I think most people were as well. My hope would be the presidential elect, election reflects more serious issues than that.”"
"...At a fund-raiser on Friday night in Manhattan, Mrs. Clinton strongly criticized Mr. Trump, as well as his supporters.9/10/16 ridiculousness update: So ridiculous; the name-calling etc. (still at the fore) at this point in the national election. Serious issues require address and discussion by both candidates, in detail....
“I know there are only 60 days left to make our case — and don’t get complacent, don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think, ‘Well, he’s done this time,’” she said at the event, which featured Barbra Streisand. “We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And, unfortunately, there are people like that....'”

(Continuing:)...As noted here and elsewhere many times: Mr. Trump never provides realistic specifics of HOW he --- and he alone, apparently -- plans to fulfill and implement his outlandish promises.

Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2016
: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny
("Sarcasm." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 28 July 2016.)By that broad definition I suppose any demagogue could employ the word as an escape smokescreen, after broadcasting whatever inflammatory, outrageous, under-developed notion that popped into mind.
Therefore; extending Mr. Trump's ready-escape device (...used in various, shifty ways...) to a different -- alarming -- scenario:Fictional 'President Trump' begins his January 20, 2017 inaugural address:
'THE PRESIDENT': "Vice President Pence....you handsome knucklehead you...., Mr. Chief Justice....you're totally gone after that Obamacare vote....
members of the United States Congress....C'mon! That's an actual job?? Just leave this all up to me. By the way, is "Pocahontas" Warren here? 'Woo-woo-wooo-woo woo'! That mean: I win. You lose!...... distinguished guests.......I don't really see any.....OK, just being sarcastic, folks! I love all you guys......, and fellow followers:
Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution......And I must add: The NRA and you Second Amendment 'folks'! I owe you guys one. Wait, wait....no shooting in the air... or other places! Hahahahahahaha. Sarcasm again! ....And how about the "enduring strength" of that big, beautiful wall that's gonna get built, huh! C'mon! ....I can't hear you! Give it up! ..For the wall! I'm serious about it! At least for now.....
(Resuming, from teleprompter:) ....We affirm the promise of our democracy.....To me, my family and others like me! I'll be a holding a huge, invitation-only reception at Mar-a-Lago later tonight! You know who you are...But see Secretary of State Ivanka if you don't remember your table assignment. It'll be fabulous: ....Secretary of Defense Palin will be providing the night's entertainment! Plus: We'll be roasting Chief Justice Roberts.. Literally! ....Kidding...kidding. Just being sarcastic! You'll see how my sarcasm works later there, John....! Please pay no attention to those armed guys!
(Resuming reading text:) ...We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.......Which reminds me: All current inhabitants of the U.S. with last names ending in "-ez" or "-az".... or just plain 'z': Please report to the nearest 'Rudy Giuliani Resettlement Center' for further processing. I'm serious: Don't make me ask again!......That John Roberts injunction-thing about my pending executive order shouldn't last much longer........Unless it does. Then you'll all understand that I was just joking of course...."
