I'm noticing a pattern--or think I am. If I'm right, it must hint at
... something. It goes like this. Something happens in the news. The
24-hour political press spends the next 24-48 hours guessing how they
think it will affect the presidential race. (To be fair, they also
devote between one and three percent of their coverage to the actual
news itself.) In nearly every case, they start from the presumption that
it's bad for Hillary. Usually they think it's good for Trump, b
ut
bad for Hillary?--natch. After that initial period wears off and they
have some data to go with, they forget about that initial presumption
and start discussing what's actually going on.
Dunno what to make of it. But we do know, definitively, that this latest
mass shooting will benefit Trump and that any concomitant gun debate will be
terrible for Hillary. Thank god someone figured
that out for us.
In other news, Gallup has two tracking polls out today. They record approvals for...
Obama (a Dem) 53% approve, 44% disapprove (+9)
Congress (controlled by the GOP): 16% approve, 80% disapprove (-64%)
This must of course be
more terrible news for Hillary.
