Waiting for a response from that "liberal media" who tried turning Hillary's beautiful speech into some hate fest against poor Trump. Might we have Chris Matthews again saying Hillary went too far when presented with more evidence of this man's bigotry and hatred or will this further shame him as Andrew Weinstein finally managed to.

 

I'm more and more with Charles Blow. These so called "journalists" are insulting minorities to the nth degree by giving Trump any latitude on his hateraide and are showing themselves as racists.

The Trump's history of racial discrimination in Trump rental properties is well known but this NYT article features a personal story of people involved in one case in Queens New York and one in Cincinnati, OH the subject of a lawsuit brought on by the Justice Dept against the Trumps.

 

‘No Vacancies’ for Blacks: How Donald Trump Got His Start, and Was First Accused of Bias

 

The contrast is striking between Trump, in his youth working at his father's knee, deep in these policies being investigated by 'testers' sent out by the New York Urban League  while HRC worked as a 'tester' for Marian Wright Edelman and the Children's Defense Fund, documenting instances of deliberate racial segregation of schools in the South.

AP has been on a "roll" lately with the Clinton Foundation article, re-print, and then tweeting how Dwyane and Trump "speak out" about Chicago death... When Dwyane mourned and Trump used it to get votes, but you would never know that from the tweet. Turns out Trump campaign staff met with AP and told them how they wanted to news shared?!?!

Both conventions were also later in 2012 which meant a shorter general election csmpsign.

Hillary Clinton IMO hasn't really started aggressively campaigning yet. Trump is doing 4 times more events than she is. I don't think this country will elect a Donald Trump but we all still need to vote.

I doubt that very much. Nate Silver often over-compensates on the polling, but he knows Trump has been crashing out for months.

 

It won't be close, but the media will pretend it is in an attempt to goose their ratings. "Under 80%" for a day, if that, is nothing to get all concerned about. People got all scared of Romney over nothing for similar reasons, and Obama had that shut down by 10 PM.

 

And actually, I believe Hillary is the one campaigning more, and running very effective ads. If you look at the last few months of coverage and reporting, it's Trump who has virtually no ground game, constantly has no public events on his schedule each week until the last minute, keeps changing and pulling out of events (like last week) and seems to have absolutely no stomach for or interest in campaigning anywhere but venues that are either close to his home or solidly red. He only just made a national ad buy.

 

All he has is rallies which make him feel good. As the GOP has often clucked about, there's very little actual campaigning. Because he doesn't want to, and he doesn't like spending money.
