With All The Trump Disasters, The Media Is Salivating Over How It Somehow Won't Hurt Him

Half the coverage today has been on how none of this has hurt him in the past, how any other campaign would be done. The message is he's not done, it won't hurt him and the polls will somehow reverse their downward trend.

It really is amazing. They're like end timers who are unphased when the supposed last day of Earth comes and goes without event.

I think however this comment he made about "not strong' vets was pretty damn big. I have been hearing more about that than the unpaid taxes. Taxes is just money where the issue about vets are people and people are the most important.

You can't keep asses on the couch for the next month by saying Trump is finished.

The "anybody can still win this thing" meme will continue until November - to be followed by surprised cries on election night of, "Wow! HRC wins in a landslide! Who saw THAT coming?"

He's sinking in the polls. The real worry for the GOP will be how many of their voters and how many of us show up to vote to give HRC political capital. That's what I'm working for as a HFA volunteer.

My problem is that I don't have a lot of time to watch the salivating talking heads, simply because I'm out working to elect Hillary Clinton.
