(29,552 posts)Remember, after she got a convention bump, in swooped Comey.
And the media wouldn't cover her events. I was watching CNN yesterday, and Dana Bash was musing on the type of events Hillary held in 2016 - meeting with 100 people in a high-school gym, for example. The media preferred rallies and was much more likely to cover them, even though it was the same person spouting the same speech over and over and over. They likewise ignored her in 2008 (she was in Seattle one weekend and did three events, including a town hall with nurses, compared to the combined total of two for Obama and McCain, but the media just covered Obama's big rally). That was to her detriment, because her one-on-one engagement with voters and their real life problems is her bailiwick, just not glam enough for the media.
Anyway, back to the topic, Hillary had climbed back up after Comey knee-capped her in July, and then he did it again. I hate that guy.
