According to the usual conventional wisdom, it's now after Labor Day, which means the campaign has really begun, which means that Trump is in the lead, in no less than a CNN poll. He's up by two points, it's margin of error. This is stunning when you consider the firepower in what I call the Summer of Hate. The Summer of Hate, the hatred directed at Trump, when you look at all of the firepower from everywhere that you could find, every sector of the Drive-By Media has been launching one salvo after another at Trump. And then the paid supporters of Hillary have been running their ads as well.
But, even without the ads, just the tenor and the tone and the substance of the Drive-By Media coverage, Trump ought to be at 20% and dead. And Trump hasn't spent much money at all, and yet he has now edged ahead. CNN is reporting this, their headline: "Nine Weeks Out, a Near Even Race," which, of course, is not what the headline should have been. The headline should have been something like: "Presidential Poll: Donald Trump Pulls Ahead of Hillary Clinton Despite Our Best Efforts."
It's incredible. It is incredible.
