Keep your mouth shut. Fall in line. Your superiors know what's best for you. Just put your brain on autopilot and vote Billary Clinton back into the White House.

It's the Democrats who are in disarray, always and forever. That's why the popular media will range far and wide across the country to find a Sanders voter who doesn't want to vote for Clinton: Disarray!

Meanwhile, Republican voters and operatives everywhere are trying to remember Rippy the Razor's advice now that Trump is the party's nominee, but that's not the story the popular media likes.

The MSM wins with a horse race. A blowout means millions in lost revenue for them. According to the MSM this will be a horse race right up to the minute the votes come in and the blowout is undeniable.

in making sure that there is a horse race - they have tons of airtime to sell
Plus they have a vested interest in seeing that the Republicans win.

View anything from MSNBC with those two caveats from here on out.

Some are falling in line, some have gone so far as to say they'd vote for Clinton. It's a cluster-fuck of epic proportions.

That's all that matters, us turning on the TV machine to watch their sponsors sell shit.

The only panic the GOP is having is that trump says out loud what they all believe--and that's bad for election results. They prefer stealth and dog whistles. But subtlety isn't in trump's vocabulary.
