Wolf Blitzer can be a blustering idiot sometimes. He just said trump was ahead in Georgia by....

......."hundreds and hundreds of thousands of votes"! In fact he was never ahead by more than about a hundred thousand votes for a short time.

Get it right, Wolf!

I'm glued to CNN tonight. Their ground game is excellent... And I love Wolf

Plus, I love his nightly tributes to COVID victims. They get me every time.

Lots of Wolf hate here tonight! I've always liked him and I find him to be calm & steady. Elections would not be the same for me without him. But I guess we are all entitled to our opinions

I had to turn CNN off last night because of his endless "State of the Race" reports, with some states 20% or less in returns.

They warned us for weeks and weeks that the election wouldn't be decided on Election Night, yet the MSM stayed with their tried and true breathless countdown.

(I turned MSNBC off earlier because I cannot deal with their constant non-stop playing of that annoying election theme.)
