Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall, at Hillary headquarters right now? My minions, who wish to remain anonymous, report the following:
(Hillary) “Is it working? Our pivot? Are people blaming FBI director Comey for the 650,000 emails?”
(Mook) “The base still supports you, your highness. Unfortunately, your base mostly reads at the 5th grade level, when they read at all. So when we poll them about “Comey”, they go “What? You mean homey?”
(Huma) “The college professors are still with us. They mostly read above the 5th grade level. And they totally buy into the idea that everyone can get free college, and the 1% are going to pay for it with higher taxes. Its a job security thing.”
(Cheryl Mills) “Um, I might have some bad news. We got a “Drive C full” error message on our laptop at home last night. I think all my emails might have been synched to my home PC too, when they set it up . . . “
(Hillary) “WTF! Well, I’m not going down because of THAT. Cheryl – make sure your home PC is smashed into a million little pieces. Then incinerate them. Then have the disposal site nuked or something . . . “
The latest ABC/WaPo poll (link above) is certainly a comeuppance from the alleged 12 point lead Hillary and her sycophants were crowing about LAST week, eh? As I’ve said over and over, if you don’t like yesterday’s poll, just wait a day or two.
Speaking of yesterday – a dozen sites were reporting “no softening in Hillary’s support”. Clearly these pundits were suffering from softening of the head, if they thought reopening criminal charges against Hillary would have zero impact.
I’m with Hillary campaign chairman Mook, though. Hillary's base - takers, felons who are fraudulently voting on provisional ballots, the dead, people who don’t speak English, government workers – their support for Hillary is likely to be undiminished. The battle is now for the votes of private sector workers who pay taxes and obey the law.
Which still doesn’t make it a slam dunk for Trump. He’s run a crappy campaign, and is rising in the polls ONLY because the 650,000 emails have pushed groping off the front page. Hillary’s team is trying to put Trumps taxes back on the front page, but with little luck.
Trump has done 2 things wrong during this campaign (looking past all the things he did wrong in the past 30 years):
1 – When speaking in person, Trump should have been Reaganesque: ”can’t we all just get along”, rather than spewing stream of consciousness vituperative personal attacks on citizens he doesn’t cotton too.
2 – Trump's TV ads should have been more relentless, when it comes to attacks. Trump doesn’t need to appear in those 30 second spots. He should have done what Hillary did – show ordinary citizens tsk tsking all the things Hillary and Bill have done wrong, and then turning solemnly to face the camera and asking “If you had a chance to put all this behind our nation, why wouldn’t you take it? I’m personally voting for change.”
