Related: About this forumIs this media narrative and the faux allegations against Hillary going to last to Election Day?
Would the press give equal time to an October surprise regarding Mr. Trump if it was launched, say, NOW?
Or is it even a recommendable strategy at this point, to attempt to flip the narrative?

(34,648 posts)Impossible to discuss emails that nobody has any idea of what they say for 2 weeks. It will be back to Trump by next week sinc he loves Twitter and we get bored fast. Comey will make a statement that solves nothing very soon, go back into hiding or quit, and our turnout will push this story out of the media

The best scenario is that Hillary asked him to bring it (more info), and he doesn't, and then that's it.

(10,437 posts)this will remain a narrative until Nov 8th...with interruptions with trump related issues...but main focus of MSM is top drive the narrative of the "closeness" of the race as we have seen for weeks...and their lazy ass reporting on all things email.....the bigger question is why the FBI Director violating FBI protocols to influence the election

(459 posts)can you really say with confidence that the cupboard is bare when it comes to a damaging story about trump?
i think it's more likely that they've been sitting on something "just in case" trump and republicans pulled a stunt like this. you let this email story exhaust itself over this weekend, then pounce with whatever is still out there about trump mid-week as the closing argument. just my 2 cents, not saying for sure there's anything, but it would not surprise me.
