The MSM doing their best to even the playing field. Ratings ratings ratings.

It's easy to be confident three months before the election...but when it's two weeks away, you start getting nervous, no matter how confident you are.

Bloomberg fell for that one. The source was DEFENSE LAWYERS IN RUSSIA PROBE!!!

Politico fell for it, too.

Oh wahhh! Mueller's findings may be inconsequential! Wahhhhhhhh!!

from the DEFENSE LAWYERS and FORMER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.

Geez.

I will be quite happy if my cynicism is proved to be unwarrented on November 7th.

that's why the generous grain of salt to be applied to all recently signed posters.

Not that I want to discriminate, but yeah, the troll farms are harvesting and the bots are out pushing agendas that don't necessarily support our goals.

Hell, I hope your cynicism is unwarranted, too, but I will maintain a similar attitude for now.

since it hurt so much the morning after last time.

I voted. Made calls. Will make more calls with reminders to vote/return absentee ballots, but at this point, it's a waiting game.

And it is hard to believe after being so thoroughly crushed last time around.

It's called "steady as you go" I think.

Wait and see.

Be cool, peeps.
