13. The election will turn on credibility

I doubt the HRC campaign ever understood that, and they did not, for whatever reason, have the credibility to denounce Trump. She tried, in debates, warning voters, but to little avail.

I think that's why Biden is gaining traction. He calls Trump a liar, and calls out his lies. It's now an open topic so it makes for good sound bites.

But the media is complicit. Not just Fox, but NYT too. They will print the slant of the crooks. Must be about money, listening to the roots of NYC.

Fuck Trump. He *is* the swamp NCProgressive Jan 2020 #1
