They don't even try to hide the fact that they're operating as a propaganda outlet to get Trump elected.

…designed to show he has "a path to 270?" Of course -- actually, he has multiple paths there, including the polls being totally off so that he wins every state. But are any of them remotely credible?

I don't recall CNN ever being in the poll-prognostication business before. And every one of those who are is predicting a Clinton victory, all but one of them with odds between 84%-99%.

...and if anything it motivates us like HELL to GOTV. But can it muddy up the waters with respect to the "rigged election" nonsense? What I mean is it either revs up the alt-right to a frenzy or...allows enough uncertainly to potentially steal the election. Hopefully I'm just being a bit too paranoid about all of this.

I hope neither are true, but for the life of me can't figure out why the M$M is reporting such nonsense!

And maybe another Southern state in a surprise.

Also, I would not be surprised to see Iowa go to Hillary.

they are just another FAUX LITE channel. I used to watch CNN all of the time......then they became as nutty and as biased as FAUX....I cannot stand to watch them any longer.

Now if she loses EVERY toss up then Trump wins. I saw this shit on at the gym. Really stupid and definitely not breaking news.
