Congrats to Vivian and Rob for leading the league.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Warren County\u2019s Democratic Party headquarters in Lebanon, Ohio was vandalized this weekend. Out in front of the headquarters, a pile of manure was dumped. The Ohio Democrats\u2019 response was just right.<\/p>\n

When they dump manure, we go high! One of our best performing offices, generating strong D early vote. Lesson: keep organizing while they bs<\/p>\n

Republicans are too full of BS to ever run short!<\/font><\/p>\n

From CNN<\/a>: <\/font>Paul Ryan might be done defending Donald Trump, but the House speaker said Tuesday that he still followed through on his pledge to vote for the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.<\/p>\n

Ryan told Fox News that he already cast his vote in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin, but didn’t use the real estate mogul’s name. <\/p>\n

"I stand where I’ve stood all fall and all summer," Ryan said during an appearance on "Fox and Friends." "In fact I already voted here in Janesville for our nominee last week in early voting. We need to support our entire Republican ticket."<\/p>\n

Regardless of how they posture Lyin’ Ryan and Rump Dump Trump are two pees in a pot!<\/font><\/p>\n

From CNBC<\/a>: <\/font>FBI Director James Comey’s October bombshell is already reverberating further down the ballot. <\/p>\n

The surprise disclosure Friday that his agency is probing emails related to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has delivered a major blow to both her campaign and her party’s hopes of retaking control of the Senate. <\/p>\n

It’s also created a headwind for down-ballot Democrats hoping to capture seats from the GOP in close races by winning over the remaining undecided vote. <\/p>\n

As I said two days ago, Comey’s illegal Republican Intent was not to elect Rump Dump, but to effect the down ballot.  Even this Republican source admits the effect.<\/font><\/p>\n
