Tens of thousands of members of the media have been deployed to find a single voter

who decide to vote for Trump because of Comey's issued statements, they are confident they will be able to find one by election day ... well maybe not confident but certainly hopeful.

I know you were being sarcastic, but the real issue isn't that vote.

The issue is voter intensity. It is all about the narrative. This issue pumps up the trump voter while depressing the Clinton voter. The Clinton voter won't vote for trump, but may not vote.

They're not so much looking for voters switching to Trump, but for Clinton voters deciding to stay home.

Then there's Raygun who never found all his Easter eggs. Now the Roadkill Pussy Grabber is hunting for his keys. I think Pootie Poot hid them.

... who are holding their noses to vote for Hillary may just decide to stay home. People (and they do exist) who believe she jeopardized national security, that she repeatedly lied, etc. I don't think it will tip the election, but I would like a resounding rebuke to Trump and a healthy down ballot swing to Dems.

the anti-Hillary vote and the foaming-at-the-mouth "Lock Her Up" vote.

They have so much practice.
