They have the attention span of a gnat. Trump's pervy stuff has run it's course. Probably noticing viewers drop off if they concentrate on Trump and groping. So there isn't anything really new. The only thing new that comes out every.single.day. is an email dump.

Trump camp must be giddy that the focus is off of them this week. And probably next week. Seems he's pretty well sedated and not really doing or saying anything egregious enough for MSNBC or CNN's attention. Morning on MSNBC is total shit. I never watch or listen to that station till evening.

IS what it IS.

However, we as Hillary/Tim supporters STILL have to work hard to GOTV in various ways across this country these next 13 or so days. Tell yourself that Hillary is 10 points behind everywhere.

But yeah, this horse race meme is just

EYES ON THE PRIZE: Phone bank (I phone bank from a DEEP blue state), get your friends/their voting aged children out to vote in swing-states if you can, donate what you can. But for the moment, I'm hoping that Democrats stop obsessing over Morning Ho, and 3rd rate, jealous reporter Andrea Mitchelle's snark directed toward Hillary. We have to DO the things we have to so Hillary/Tim will be elected AND have a Democratic Senate as well.

Let's go people, EYES ON THE PRIZE on what's truly important

10. Desperation to keep the race alive. The "Wikileak memos" purported to be emails mean nothing.

We honestly don't know if they're real, fake, or altered because no one's confirming anything. Regardless - nothing that comes out in an email will change my mind or any other sane person's at this point.

This election is much bigger than campaign staff arguing about perceptions.

2) They want to make it feel like a horse race again in the run up to election day to drive ratings

We need to have a serious conversation in this country about cable news outlets manipulating public opinion on matters of civic importance to generate more profits for themselves. It's toxic and it is killing our democracy.
