How did that turn out again?
The media wants you to believe it's close. And honestly I'm ok with that. If even 1% of the people go to the polls because they fear it's too close to stay home, then I'm definitely ok with that.

(1,325 posts)Been saying this for a while. Hillary had this sewn up back in May. The rest is a media concoction designed to sell more dick pills and trucks and shoes and pepsi. Bucha hooey every 4 years. Hell, Mittens thought he was actually going to win on election night. And come next Wednesday, wait for it, the pollsters will be saying how they called this correct the whole way. The TV people love love love STFU Donnie as he brings eyeballs to the screen. If the media had actually done their jobs, drumpf would have never made it out of the blocks.
