I’d rather her message be - hey we’re slightly ahead, so get out and vote. That motivation works better than what they are doing, at least for me. It’s also tough to be pissed at Fox when Conway is repeating this crap.
I’m also thinking that, should Trump prevail over the machine and pull out a victory, these MSM polls will give them standing in their claim that the election was stolen from Hillary.
No. Being behind does not get out the vote. Human nature wants to be on the band wagon. Have ALWAYS had my doubts about Conway.
