I watched the opening campaign discussion on the Today show. They highlighted a poll that showed Trump about six points behind Clinton nationally and being clobbered in the battleground states and with no chance in the Electoral College.
This will no doubt be the poll cited by Limbaugh today.
This was all being presented frenetically by announcing that it was down to “crunch” time in the election. The day after Labor Day has always been the beginning of the presidential election, with crunch time traditionally being called about a week before the vote.
Today show is attempting to time warp the election. The FBI files that were dumped on Friday were not mentioned, but a few questions were raised about Trump’s business activities.
We can expect NBC to ratchet up the alarm and the stampeding attempts as time moves on.
I switched over to ABC and they had Trump about two points ahead of Clinton.
ABC and CNN have done the best reporting of any MSM on her scandals lately so if they hold for another week or so the other networks cannot be far behind.
