DONALD TRUMP: “Our country could be doing much better. We have deficits that are enormous, we have all bad trade agreements. We have an Army that the head said is not prepared. We have a military that needs help, and especially in these times. ((EDIT)) Nothing works, our country doesn’t work. Everybody wins, except us.”
According to the Real Clear Politics average of national polling, here's where the Republican field stands today:
- Trump leads with 27%, followed by
- Ben Carson 13%
- Jeb Bush 9%
- Ted Cruz 7%
- Marco Rubio 6%

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump leads Democrat Hillary Clinton head-to-head, according to a new poll released Friday.
The poll by SurveyUSA finds that matched up directly, Trump garners 45 percent to Clinton’s 40 percent.
In other head-to-head matchups, Trump beats out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 44 percent to 40 percent; Vice President Joe Biden by 44 percent to 42 percent; and former Vice President Al Gore by 44 percent to 41 percent.
The poll also found that 30 percent of respondents believe Trump will eventually be the Republican nominee, leading the field.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush came in second, with 20 percent saying they expect him to win the nomination. Following Bush in order were retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
The poll surveyed 1,000 adults across the nation Sept. 2-3, and it had a margin of error of 3.3 percent.

I'm wondering if people either:
a) Don't know that Trump is a massive narcissist, or
b) Don't care or don't think that's a problem
Guys, narcissism is a very dangerous personality disorder and electing an unabashed massive kind narcissist is bad news for all. Really bad news. It doesn't even matter if you agree with all of his positions, whatever they may be. Elect a narcissist like Trump and sadly we'll get what we deserve. And already, he's only encouraging narcissists to be more narcissists. To be sure, most politicians are somewhere on the narcissist scale, but Trump is at 100%. Originally, I thought he was just basically an asshole, but it's clear that he's clinically well past that. Doesn't take a psychology degree to see this.
By supporting Trump, are you self-identifying as a massive narcissistic douchebag? Is that what you want?Comment -
Political class firewall endangered
(Infowars) – Nearly 30% of Democrats in Alabama would like to see Donald Trump win the election.
Between August 29 and September 1, Gravis Marketing asked 1,616 participants in Alabama, “assuming you had to vote today, which 2016 GOP Candidate would you vote for?”
Trump took a large lead at 38%. This number nearly matched the numbers of all other candidates combined (38.8%).Comment -
So the question was which of the GOP candidate would you vote for? Not "based on declared candidates" - it was only which GOP candidate???Originally posted by DwightShrute
And based on only giving them a choice of GOP candidates, the headline becomes
"Nearly 30% of Democrats in Alabama would like to see Donald Trump win the election"
Really?Comment -

</aside>Macy’s major announcement comes this week as the company breaks ground on its new Macy’s Backstage chain, an off-price retailer designed to compete directly with T.J. Maxx and Nordstrom Rack, which have boomed in recent years. T.J. Maxx, who is the owner of TJX, Home Goods, and Marshalls had a reported annual sales this year that exceeded Macy’s for the first time ever.</header><section class="post-content-part-1" style="text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; width: 927.359px; margin: 2em auto; padding-bottom: 1em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(201, 205, 210); color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-family: source-sans-pro, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.888px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(244, 242, 242);">The company’s ongoing struggles of losing many American shoppers to malls and consumer’s new taste for off-price shopping is why Macy’s also recently announced that it will close up to 40 stores early next year.
This is only about 5% of its 770 locations, but is much higher considering they have slowly been closing 52 stores since 2010.
This planned closure is very reflective of retailers’ efforts to shut down underperforming malls, as the space between America’s worst and best malls grows. Many malls are categorized with an A, B, C or D rating, signaling which malls are top-tier, affluent centers, and which face very real risk of closure.
Shockingly, more than 200 U.S. malls are considered to be a C or below. This number could increase as the economy struggles to get back on its feet.
Macy’s says that it doesn’t have an estimate of how many staff will lose their jobs due to the closures, though J.C. Penny’s closure of 39 stores last year cost 2,250 jobs.

Getty ImagesRepublican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has widened his lead over GOP challengers, according to a new poll.
Trump garners support from 32 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents in aCNN/ORC International Poll released Thursday morning, up 8 points from a similar sampling in August.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson also saw increased support in the latest poll, gaining 10 points to 19 percent.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush dropped 4 points to 9 percent.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) remains in fourth place with 7 percent voter support, followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who are tied at 5 percent.
Eleven other Republican contenders grab 3 percent or less among potential voters, pollsters found.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) saw the most significant shift among candidates outside the top five, CNN reported, falling 5 points since August.
The latest CNN/ORC survey, conducted by telephone last Friday through Tuesday among a random national polling of 1,012 adults, has a 4.5 percent margin of error for Republican voters.
