https://mediamatters.org/video/2016/06/27/watch-cnns-corey-lewandowski-use-cnn-campaign-trump-5-minutes/211229JAKE TAPPER (HOST): Let us turn to the presidential race; Hillary Clinton up in the polls and at the beginning of the month had more than $40 million in the bank more than Trump. Looking from the outside now, calling the balls and strike as you say, what should Mr. Trump be doing differently? How could he be a better candidate?
COREY LEWANDOWSKI: Here is what he's done. He just started his fund-raising online. I think they've raised $11 million in the first two or three days which is unprecedented in the history of online fundraising. They have got a goal to raise another $10 million before the FEC deadline at the end of the month. And if that's the case, in literally less than a week's window he will have raised over $20 million. And as you know, he also said he is willing to make his own contribution to the campaign which he's already invested over $50 million to the campaign. For the money side, I wouldn't worry about that at all. As you know, he has done more with less. Hillary Clinton spent hundreds of millions to vanquish one opponent who still has not come out and endorsed her, I don't believe, or he's getting close. And Mr. Trump spent $50 million, almost all of his own money, to vanquish 16 additional opponents. So he has done more with less and is continuing to do more on the fundraising side.
TAPPER: You're right that Bernie Sanders has not endorsed Hillary Clinton yet, but we should point out that there are a number of people who have not endorsed Mr. Trump either; Ted Cruz, John Kasich, who have not endorsed him either. But let me ask you a question. President George H. W. Bush's national security advisor General Brent Scowcroft, President George W. Bush's Treasury secretary Hank Paulson. Both of them have recently said they're voting for Hillary Clinton. Combine that with George F. Will, a conservative pundit, saying he is leaving the Republican Party because of Mr. Trump. Shouldn't this be a time in the campaign when Republicans are uniting around the nominee?

The MSM only make money if the election race is 'too close to call' That is, if there is a large lead by one candidate, that candidate and their super PACs would be less likely to pay millions to buy ad time. So, the MSM does all it can to make it seem like the election race is so close that either candidate could win -- so to keep the hundreds of millions of dollars of ad money flowing.

It's funny to see how, when Trump flip-flops on an issue, they automatically also shift their comments to fall in line.
But this time Lewandowski is masquerading as a journalist.
