She’s relying on the media to win. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a campaign based almost entirely on the media and their propaganda in support of one candidate. No one comes to her rallies, she is hated by most of her base, but with the media on her side she can still pull this one out. I don’t believe the polls but I do know they will accuse Trump of more serious crimes like molesting children or worse before the election. The followu p with story after story about how everyone is abandoning Trump. That way even if it gives her an extra 1-2%, it helps her win.
John Kerry in 2004 was similar - and when the media lost that one, they were shocked.
But, credit where credit is due, they have analyzed their loss in 2004 and they've upped their game considerably.
In 2004, they did not understand the need to completely integrate "straight news" and "infotainment", they do now. In 2004, they did not understand the importance of rigged polls, they do now. In 2004, they did not know how important it would be to overwhelm the opposition with contrived "scandals", and they also didn't yet feel that they could JUST NOT COVER the Republican's campaign.
Since 2004, they've brought Facebook on line and deployed "influencers" to great effect. Zuckerberg knows who needs to contact your wife to have the greatest effect (isn't that amazing?)
They mean to rule.
