When will Hillary Clinton give up her candidacy ?

Yes and no.

Oh for the love of god. Of course there are westerners living and doing business in China. But the differences in immigration patterns are like the size of my smallest freckle contrasted with the size of the Bronx.

I made no claim whatever about relative numbers, however, the fact that in a circle of a few hundred friends I know six or seven who reside there strikes me as an indicator of their likely numbers.

Fearing that their island city is going to the dogs, close to half of Hong Kong residents interview in a recent survey are looking to move.

And Canada is their top pick to start a new a life.

Some 42 percent of Hong Kong residents want to leave, a survey by independent think tank Civic Exchange showed in June. This compares with 20 percent wanting to leave neighboring Singapore.

Seventy percent of 1,500 people surveyed said Hong Kong had become "worse" or "much worse" to live in, with the biggest concerns housing, the "quality of government" and education, the Thompson-Reuters Foundation reported.

The number of Hong Kong people emigrating to Canada almost doubled in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period last year, and the number moving permanently to Taiwan rose 36 percent over a similar time frame, data shows.

Most of the 59-year-old’s clients are Chinese and multi-billionaires. His website attests to that, featuring links to doctors who practice traditional Chinese medicine, lawyers, language classes and maintenance providers. He advertises on WeChat, China’s most popular app, and in local Chinese newspapers.

“I show homes every day to Chinese families from Shanghai, Beijing, cities I’ve never heard of, and sometimes it’s just the mother and kids because the father is working,” Debelle said, referring to so-called astronaut families with the father working in China and mother and children staying in Vancouver. “It’s typical of any wealthy person to move money abroad to preserve their wealth. They’re concerned about the market there and they want hard assets to preserve and protect their capital.”

Debelle, whose Mandarin-speaking sales associate drives a white Bentley, sells at least 25 homes a year, earning a commission of about 3 percent. He’s so busy that he’s taken only one vacation in the last eight years, working weekends and evenings with buyers on the phone in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Linda Todrick, 68, lived in a subdivision 45 minutes south of the city for 26 years, until her partner began thinking of retirement and a broker friend told her how much the house was worth. At the end of 2015, her detached home was appraised at just shy of C$1 million. A month later it had shot up to C$1.3 million.

She listed it in April for C$1.288 million, appealing to local Chinese buyers with the lucky number eight. Within 24 hours, four bids came in. They sold within just a few days to a young family for C$1.5 million, no conditions.

Romney wouldn't call Obama a liar when he lied during their debate and had to have his ass saved by the CNN moderator.

Do you see this as a a conversation or, perhaps, a contest?

Thanks a lot Obama! You economy-destroying bolshevik muslim American-hating slime.

Here's a link to some charts all but one from Federal data sites. Various time periods, some ending as early as 2012, others 2015.. In most cases the scales are chosen to magnify the visual effect of changes, but the aggregate tells a story that embraces more relevant matters to the public.

Blickers will no doubt be oiutraged by the workforce participation chart, but most people understand what it tell us.

The stock market is doing fairly well - not as well as in previous decades, but relatively well compared to current alternatives. Companies are indeed making money, and they are hoarding cash and paying dividends to sustain their stock prices, instead of investing in new or expanded enterprises and job creation. That is why middle Ameriuca is doing badly inder the current highly regulated and over leveraged economic regime.

I'm really not going to entertain any intellectually dishonest arguments that Dems don't employ such attacks.

Avik Roy is a Republican’s Republican. A health care wonk and editor at Forbes, he has worked for three Republican presidential hopefuls — Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, and Marco Rubio. Much of his adult life has been dedicated to advancing the Republican Party and conservative ideals.

But when I caught up with Roy at a bar just outside the Republican convention, he said something I’ve never heard from an establishment conservative before: The Grand Old Party is going to die.

“I don’t think the Republican Party and the conservative movement are capable of reforming themselves in an incremental and gradual way,” he said. “There’s going to be a disruption.”

Roy isn’t happy about this: He believes it means the Democrats will dominate national American politics for some time. But he also believes the Republican Party has lost its right to govern, because it is driven by white nationalism rather than a true commitment to equality for all Americans.

“Until the conservative movement can stand up and live by that principle, it will not have the moral authority to lead the country,” he told me.

Roy is a conservative with whom one might have a sane, honest and valuable conversation. And why is it that so very few conservatives posting on boards like this are of his sort?

Hillary is the one who could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and never lose a supporter.
