The Clinton/Obama mainstream media has fallen off the cliff....and, goes to full bore panic & insanity in their reporting and commentary. I could list ten thousand hard core examples of that insanity....which, by the way is making no headway whatsoever, as each day passes and, the Trump polling nimbers continue to rise upward. The Cable News Networks are losing viewers every day...with CNN (Clinton News Network) losing the most...thousands of viewers. They are in such a frantic state, they have lost all touch and sense of reality.
For my two cents, I say fools...keep it up.....you only serve to bolster the Trump brand. You are backing a candidate, Hillary Clinton, that draws no one to her rallies (she has stopped having them), A POTUS Obama & his wife Michelle, that draws no one to their movie, and you try the lie telling act, over & over again, when it never works at all!!! They say a human being, man or woman, who uses the same approach every day, over and over again , without positive result, is insane. Am beginning to believe that view is 100% correct!!!
Agreed they are scared and losing it.
One thing different in this cycle, is that our side is unifying.
Unlike the past when many of us would be saying: I’m staying home if they don’t ........
There’s a lot not to like with Trump. Abortion used to be a huge deal breaker, for example. Gay rights, another.
But we are unifying because the alternative is well:
Terrifying
Your use (correct use) of “lost all connection to reality” and “insane” conjure up an image of that important historical figure, King George III.

(I know Hamilton is not popular around here...and that’s ok...but you gotta admit...this song sounds like hilary and the entire media singing together....especially, “when you’re gone! I’ll go mad!) :) :)
Sometimes good art contains great truths that transcend the banal political views of its creators.....
I see a very tight race that will be decided in a few counties of a few swing states.
Pretty obvious the mainstream media, and many in the nation, are losing it.
You know, I NEVER believed that Trump was trailing by double digits (as the media told us - non-stop - for a month). Seeing their full-fledged panic now simply confirms my suspicions. When this race is over, and Trump has won, I’m going to make personal calls to several major media outlets, letting them know how I feel about their biased reporting. They won’t care but it’ll make me feel like I did my part.
If we were to be attacked by an enemy, the media and half of the nation would be arguing as to why we would need to side with the enemy for the good of the country.
Good analogy.
By avoiding public rallies, people are going to start asking lots of questions about just how hale she is--and the MSM is in panic mode when they cancelled Dr. Drew's show on HLN and just dismissed a Huffington Post writer for daring to ask about Hillary's health.
No one watches TV anymore only Older people
They get news were ever good or bad
I’m dumping cable this coming January
I am one of the older people
Newspapers are done and dying as the old people die
Went for a walk this morning and saw two newspapers
Have not read a newspaper in twenty years
This time, there is the ‘Trump factor’. The Media and opposition [Dems and GOPestablishment] have been trying since June of 2015 to figure out what it is. Massive rallies compared to Clinton who can't even fill a small-school gymnasium.
Does that mean anything? Maybe yes. Maybe no. In 2012, Obama seemed to be getting about 1/2 of less of the massive support he got in 2008. He couldn't even fill a college gymnasium. Yet, when the votes were counted, he got enough to leave Romney in the Electoral count dust.
If the pollsters are correct, 2016 is shaping up to be a squeaker reminiscent of 2000. If the pollsters are wrong, it could be the biggest blowout since Reagan-Carter.
[I do hope for the latter. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to hear Wolf Blitzer, shades of the 2010 mid-term, say ‘the Democrat is taking a shellacking.’]
There is a Freeper who worked in media for years. A few weeks ago she posted that the media companies rig these polls to show a close race because the illusion of a close race stimulates the candidates to purchase ad time. I know many of us have posited that theory over the years, but she said it is a certainty. She further said the only polls to pay any attention to are the ones appearing a week or two before the election since the media companies don't want to lose whatever credibility they still have. I wish I could find the post.
The Dems are getting desperate.
Beware of a rigged election. Electronic ballots are ephemeral (like Hillary’s emails) and too easily manipulated. Paper ballot fraud is harder to accomplish and conceal.
If this were a fair contest he would win in a landslide. The political class, the media, and the alt aristocracy is aligned against him.
