There are several dozens of these articles published every day and the only thing they do is keep Trump's name in the headlines. Meanwhile, Clinton is invisible. Meanwhile, her lead is all but gone.

If you want to really look at odds, look at the whole picture.

And Nate Silver's picture is worse. Right now it's roughly 70/30 Clinton but less than a month ago it was about 90/10 Clinton.

And the RCP average is under 3%, well within the margin of error. A month ago it was in the flirting with double digits.

Hillary is in the process of losing the election to a fascist clown and she's doing nothing to counter the trend. Obviously, her campaign is paralyzed and looking down the barrel of their own demise.

The Clinton strategy is to unleash an avalanche of media. The massive ad buys are already locked in (saving money by shopping early). We'll see what Trump plans to unleash.

The campaign hasn't really started yet.

If only those dumber than dirt Democratic voters had chosen the democratic soshulist from Vermont, we'd be up by 1000%...

Only attacking Trump and then going into hiding is not a very good strategy, and that's all she has been and seems capable of doing. She is also in a Ctach-22 with the media, after boycotting them for so long, of course they will ask about her emails and the best she can do is a 'deer in the headlights look' or deflect. Neither will work very well.

Where the Clinton campaign has miscalculated is that the whole world knows that Trump is devil incarnate and continuing to drive home the same talking points over and over has little to no effect. His supporters do not care, GOP mostly is looking the other way and the independents are saying 'what's new?'.

But if you live in a glass house and all you can see is reflections of yourself, very little can be accomplished. And this shows.

But I am sure there is a poll somewhere that shows Clinton leading by 10 points that lets her team slap each other in the back and remain complacent. They need a reality check but heck, any criticism of Hillary will be dealt with a strong push back. So the larger electorate really does not care anymore and are mostly disengaged.

And this is just my opinion, of course it's negative, take it or leave it. I just don't give a shit anymore.

Looks like Marty Barron at the Washington Post has had enough of the faux email scandalporn. I hope Chris Cillizza has laid in some Xanax for the rest the election.
