If you believe that things are tightening again then you also accept that at best Trump can only sustain short term damage from even the worst of gaffes, so why bother burning damaging info when he can just "moderate" for a week and everyone forgets.

And if you don't think things are tightening then why worry about this at all?

Well yes, memories fade so you need to be relentless in attacks.

It feels like CelestialScribe's persistent hyperbole has gotten this thread to entrench against recognizing any sort of shift in the polls.

A few weeks ago Clinton had something like an 80% chance. She's slipped a bit and vaguely has a 70% chance now. The exact numbers are probably different, but she's slipped a fair bit. That's just true. (Interestingly Trump hasn't gained, Clinton's just slipped. Which is weird.)

She's still probably going to win. She's less likely to win now than she was after the conventions.

Maybe I'm skimming this thread too lightly and I'm mostly reading mocking responses specifically to CelestialScribe, but it feels like people are having a hard time emotionally accepting that slight but meaningful decrease in her chances. "The polls are tightening" is a true statement, and not a particularly apocalyptic one considering how far ahead Clinton was to start.

Yeah this is where I stand. Look I want Hillary to win, but she has to up her game, and as much as everyone wants to blame the media for the email bullshit. Guess what? they'll go for what will sell, and if Trump isn't being an rear end in a top hat for a week they go there. So HRC needs, needs to start just releasing all the oppo research she has on Trump because the Media will start to bite.

I would disagree, Arzying is saying Trump is going to win. Suggesting Hillary pick up her game because we want her to win big, especially as that's whats needed to take the senate so she can actually get the cabinet she wants, get the ambassadors she wants, and ensure the Judiciary is largely democratic, is important.

Is it wrong to suggest Hillary should unleash the hounds? Is that arazying? Because we need to take the senate. The GOP has to be crushed for her first term to be anything more then a replay of the past two years. If you're aggressive you get the voters out. Also how is this going to happen Celestial, does it turn out that HRC didn't prepare for debates and did no opposition research at all?

I would say maybe HRC should let these people who need to be put up against the wall have their lovely news junket. Let them all look so proud at being able to harass her openly. Then she can say she answered their loving questions. But if Trump wins I say when the second civil war happens. Track each and every one of them down and break them on wheels.

Yeah if the media doesn't let up on HRC soon I think it's safe to say the media will deserve to be exterminated. I mean she gives you access on a plane while trump black balls you and tells the crowds to kill you. Yet you go after her. I mean if that's how it's played why have the first amendment?

:agreed: And I've provided evidence. I don't think she's "bad' at all; I think she's a pretty garden-variety politician, one who would make a much better president than Trump. Hell, at this point I think she'd probably make a better president than Sanders as well, given how lamely he's handled "Our Revolution."

But still, there are areas where progressives need to be vigilant. If she starts getting too pro-intervention with her foreign policy once she's elected, it's kind of up to us to let her know that that's not acceptable.

Couldn't agree more, the left needs to work to ensure we have a strong and independent voice in the democratic party.

Lauer wasting time asking about the stupid emails means that Hillary ignoring the dumbasses in the media was totally deserved although that probably hasn't helped her either. Is Lauer actually getting any blowback or is it just angry people on Twitter?

Having grown up in rural North Carolina, there are actually a lot of people who are into the rebel flag as a completely cultural thing - they aren't familiar with its history in the 1900s, and have been taught incorrectly about the Civil War. There exist a ton of people who just think of the flag as "Southern", and since they identify as a Southerner, attacks on the flag are attacks on their identity.

One thing that has annoyed me about the fight over the confederate flag is that people seem reluctant to admit that anyone could fly it without racist intentions, even though it carries a ton of racial baggage.

Of course, they should immediately stop doing so the minute that it's explained how its presence makes POC feel, and they're in the wrong if they don't, but the idea that symbols can mean different things to different people is always treated like some radical idea.

Hey I think blacks have the most right to be outraged by that flag. But what about people like me who had ancestors who fought for the Union?

One candidate loves Russia, the other doesn't like that that one panders towards racists. Who does the media think is bad. The one who doesn't like pandering to racists. Seriously kill every news producer. At least the people commenting I have noticed do know that HRC is right and are telling the media to stop its bullshit. I suspect alot of media organizations are going to notice knock on effects after the elections as they see some of these people decide they need an alternative source that isn't full of poo poo. Also no surprise CBS would pick it up, their audience is old idiots.

I'd rather the media fixate on the "deplorables" gaffe than continue droning on about the email faux scandal nonsense.

At least what she said makes her look like she's telling a harsh truth in the eyes of her base. It actually runs counter to the claims among some people that she's too politically calculated and dishonest.

The email attacks seem like they're depressingly effective at deflating Hillary's numbers among certain people who might otherwise vote for her. With the deplorables comment, you'll see a lot more Hillary voters enthusiastically backing her up, because she has a good point about Trump voters.

This is very true, when I looked at the comments its supporters saying, its true and telling Trumpists to grow some thicker skin.
