The polls point to the promised land. But she'll have to get past Trump and WikiLeaks first.___
The final three weeks should have been an anxious but happy time for a Hillary Clinton team on the cusp of making history.
Her odds of victory, according to most prediction experts, sit north of 80 percent, and she has solidified modest but durable leads over Donald Trump in most battleground states.
But Clinton's final sprint has become a joyless, nail-gnawing slog through Trump Tower’s moat of mudslinging — and the day-to-day worries of WikiLeaks’ dump of internal emails from campaign chairman John Podesta’s hacked account is taking a toll.
“This is making me tear up, it’s so infuriating and disgusting,” a Clinton aide wrote in an email halfway through the St. Louis debate, arguably the low-water point of a general election that has had few high-tide moments. “This is not our country.”
In Trump's Mourning-in-America march to the abyss, he has rejected political norms, and his campaign has largely devolved into trashing Clinton, the women accusing him of sexual assault and harassment, the legitimacy of U.S. elections, the media, President Barack Obama, the GOP and the time-honored idea of a presidential campaign as a sunny, aspirational enterprise.
Even more unnerving is the release of stolen emails popping daily, like the morning paper hitting the driveway, from WikiLeaks — part of an effort Clinton’s aides believe is geared toward dividing her supporters, sapping her team’s morale, and distracting the media’s attention from Trump’s self-immolation.
” Glenn you got fired today right? If not at least you know you need a new line of work. Reputation and all. Hope your trust fund is still there to tap. Keep your head up.

I would be embarrassed to admit I had “become a hack”. What kind of pride in yourself is that?
This could have been written by Hillary herself and it would no less tilted in her favor. In fact, Hillary or one of her rabid subordinates probably dictated the article word for word.
Run on over and ask, there is a comments section.
