The New York Times has broken a astory suggesting that Australian Ambassador to the UK Alexander Downer informed the FBI that the Trump camp knew about the Russian hacking of Hillary Clinton’s emails four months before the 2016 Presidential election.
US democratic activists have conducted a number of reviews on what went wrong at the last election. The conclusions they have reached could helpfully inform New Zealand political activists on what to do in 2020.
The Trump presidency appears to be in a death spiral because of the Russia issue. But the Democrats are not taking advantage. Why?
US President elect Donald Trump has expressed support for a widespread investigation of America’s electoral system
Through partisan control of the electoral system and continuing attempts to suppress votes America’s electoral system is in clear need of an overhaul.

Round 2 of the Presidential debates. Trump is on the ropes, can Clinton land the knockout blow? Certainly, there’s a lot of Republican Party grandees hoping Hillary puts them out of their misery. Seconds out at 2PM, NZ time.
UPDATE: Obama nailed Trump’s real issue a few minutes ago; it’s insecurity. Video in post.
UPDATE 2: LIVE STREAM now in post.

UPDATE: Trump says he will be a better man. Pearl Jam sue.
In a democracy what is better? A cold calculated pragmatic response or advocating for ideals that all citizens should strive, sacrifice and die for?
Donald Trump has now finally accepted publicly that Barak Obama was born in America. But claims that Hillary was the cause of the birther theory.
Plenty of folk today pronouncing the death of the TPP. This is a victory for activism.
Lefties have been saying it since forever, but it’s nice to have Hillary Clinton on record.
The last day of the DNC. Hillary Clinton will give her acceptance speech shortly. Donald Trump, having realised that inviting Russia to spy on the States is bordering on treason, is backpedalling furiously. He may have talked himself out of the White House.
Update: LIVE NOW: Chelsea Clinton
Update: LIVE NOW: Hillary Clinton
Elected California Bernie Sanders delegates blocked from their seating by establishment cheering paid seat-fillers. A very Chinese political tactic.
