I love the way our moronic MSM tries to play the "horserace" every day.

One candidate is sane and one is insane. They (talking heads) try their best to pretend the candidates are pretty equal with a few disparities such as email problems for the one and gaffe problems for the other.

Its funny how they act all serious about them - try to engage in earnest discussions, debate the pros and cons of each.

Laughable!

air as long as it brings in revenue. We were listening to some today and we shut them off, just a bunch of airheads on MSNBC thinking they were serious insightful discussions. They sounded like third graders. In fact, some third graders are likely more intelligent sounding.

If they don't throw some twists and turns into their programming, people will get bored and change the channel. after all, Msn is in business for a profit. They Profit largely off left wing viewers. Msn also wants to be talked about, just like what we are doing right now.

or misrepresenting facts.

Why hasn't anybody caught on that if there were genuine concerns, why would so many well respected people who have worked in government, policy, the military, the legislature, and security be giving her their bipartisan support?

They know that this whole email controversy is manufactured and suspect. We know that the DNC emails really didn't show anything other than an ill-advised, horrible talking point getting kicked around. We know that Comey painted a misleadingly troubled picture of the classification issue. We know that any connection between the Clinton Foundation and Foggy Bottom is tenuous at best and doesn't directly involve Clinton.

The MSM knows that it's been crying wolf with the Clintons for over 20 years and that we now have a nominee in Trump who is a genuine threat to our democracy.

But they're just like Trump. They can't help themselves. They have a script, and they're going to stick to it.
