Now Joe Scarborough keeps saying the

[helpisontheway]

election is a "jump ball" (whatever that is). Guess he is trying to say the race is even. Joe and Michael Steel both said that. The rest of the panel gave Hillary the advantage. A few weeks ago Joe was saying Trump would not win.

1. Clinton will win. And everyone who is honest rather than selling bullcrap

Knows it. Yes, we have to work hard, donate and GOTV but Trump is a huge motivating factor.

Clinton will win and Scar knows it.

9. + a million or so! eom

2. His corporate masters schooled him: "We need it to be a close race."

We need money out of politics first & foremost. The corp-media has their own agenda & it's not the same as the country's agenda. Evil fuckers. They are a huge part of our problem!

7. If the TV is on, they're trying to sell you something...

I'm so tired of it. Especially the news programs, they feauture some kind of product, or get people on trying to tell you how to live, and they don't care about any of it, they're just trying to sell you something.

I never noticed how bad it was until I spent a bunch of time watching PBS and they don't seem to do it as much.

Sure, somebody is paying for the program, but it's much less in your face.

8. I miss Al Jazeera America!

Watching the primary debates felt like watching a sporting event. "And in this corner, weighing in at..."

3. Corporate media has to keep it a horserace or no one will watch their shows.

4. Gawd, now we're going to have to hear the expression "jump ball" over & over the next couple weeks.

These lazy pundits just ape each other instead of thinking.

[VOX]

13. Seriously! We've endured "double down," "run the table"...

and "at the end of the day," among numerous other grating phrases.

Fresh metaphors needed!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

14. Or "pivot."

Yeesh. They're like the yes men on Seinfeld.

STU: (to George) Yeah I think I see it. It's like a white discoloration.

GEORGE: (to Jay) What do you think it is?

JAY: It's like a... white discoloration.

[thesquanderer]

15. Run the table. Ugh. Glad the primaries are over just for that. (n/t)

5. Every election is a jump ball.

But sometimes a 7'3" player is jumping against a player that is 5'10".

I think we can figure out who will control the ball in that situation.

[bigbrother05]

6. A jump ball can happen anytime, doesn't mean a tie except on a given play

They have a jump ball at the beginning of each half and only the first one is a certain tie (0-0). Any other time it indicates a specific event that the refs can't determine who has the legitimate advantage. If they want to say there is a jump ball after DT's Mexico trip, that should only mean he had a good day, not that he's winning overall.

Think they are using the term incorrectly to imply that it's a new game when it isn't. That would be a "clean slate", but not even Steele or J Scarb can be that deluded.

10. A jump ball?

Yeah, maybe...if the jump ball was between Dikembe Mutombo (Hillary) and Verne Troyer (Drumph).

[OnDoutside]

11. Scarborough and Steele's game is to bring Hillary's numbers back for the Downballot Reps, not Trump.

[GeorgeGist]

12. DI Joe is a hack unworthy of anyone's attention.

Trash.
