The latter.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

It depends on whether the GOP will continue its obstructionism or decide to mature and present an alternative vision. Hoping for the latter, expecting the former.

No, I think it's dependent on whether Clinton decides to follow through on Primary promises.

Politicians usually keep about 75% of their promises. Obstruction and simple political reality tend to kill the 25%.

I bet the Republican strategy will be to block her primary promises and try to drive a wedge between Democrats.

Her road for thenext 8 days is rocky, but if she keeps up on the ground, blankets the swing states in ads like that, and the Khan add, while praying nothing new about the emails come up, she should be fine.

There are more emails scheduled for release this Friday from the state department hwoever, though I'm convinced someone, be it the Clinton campaign, Media, or something else still has dirt on Trump. If they do, now is a god damn good time to release it.

Why doesn't wikileaks start focusing on Trump and his tax returns? Oh, right, because then Putin would strip Assange's funding.

I also think Hillary needs to start showing her compassionate side a little more, and talk about the issues she's most progressive on.
Then it's a lie. Everything Fox News says is a lie.

And where are you getting that number? :eyebrow:

Even if it is true, that 25% is often where the most important policies are located.

Not necessarily.

Clinton can still recover from this one. Same as I said Trump can recover from this one too.

The problem is that Trump's on his conspiracy shit again, so I don't see him making any significant winnings.

He's affirming the debates were rigged. He still didn't prepare for the debates and he still came out like a threatening buffoon on stage. That wasn't Hillary's rigging.

The media as a whole has failed. In their pursuit of ratings they've gone back to the days of yellow journalism. They replay Trump's bullshit without fact-checking it. When he says something blatantly false, they don't point out that it's blatantly false. When Trump doesn't answer a question during an interview, the interviewer lets him get away with it. They have abandoned their duty as the Fourth Estate.
