It's just his demeanor and tone of voice. He sounds like he's on the verge of tears and is actually being surprisingly conciliatory.
But why is Jake Tapper such a dick?

Yes. Anyone still worried about this scenario should read the above.
Just went down the Hillaryis44 rabbit hole for about an hour, by the way. Amazing. A treasure trove for psychiatrists who wish to study cognitive dissonance.

if he's within 2% of "likely" voters, Rubio is toast.

Guliani tried to push it off Bill's sexual misconduct on Hillary, but when he got an ounce of pushback, he stepped off the gas. That's....that's a strategy, I guess.

Because it's just not a good line of attack. At all. Clinton needs to have a good response to this and I suspect she will. But even Newt said this isn't the best a idea before.
Bill isn't running and I can assume now that Trump wants to take this route fire and brimstone is about to be hailed on him soon.

Breitbart and Trump as the sources? Clearly accuracy and honesty is above reproach. Sure it's not Sean Hannity levels of trustworthiness, but really, what can even compare?
Breitbart quality reporting

That FL senate poll is really interesting. Need to see more though.
Tapper tore apart Giuliani. Calling him out on attacks that have never been factually proven and calling him out for attacks that are not relevant.
Dead.
Dead.

Absolutely. You know an election is off-the-chain nuts when Mike Pence is presented as the sane choice.

Losing even a minority if your own party is going to kill him. Losing 15% would be huge.

I love when he gets called out on his adultery and hes like "I'm not running" and the reporter says "neither is Bill" and he just pivots to "well she stayed by him and defended him against his accusers, she should have known they were speaking the truth." The broken mind of the GOP at work.

I'm sorry you had to do that Adam..
But real talk.. I really would have paid to actually seen that conversation go down with you and colt trying to explain that shit. How'd you play it in all seriousness?
Explains a lot about Adam
I don't believe you. I can't believe you.. that didn't happen.

Bigger protest vote contingent. Believe Bernie is going to be doing a lot of Wisconsin campus rallies.

Only 4 point lead when the poll was taken. We're only just getting started enjoying Friday's fallout and we haven't even had tonight's train wreck yet. I wouldn't judge any states by their margins for at least a few days.

Honest question. Did it change your view on Trump? It didn't change mine. You've got to understand that all of us who knew what a giant shit bag he was before Friday are also part of that 'didn't change opinion' group, not just his blind supporters that stuck their fingers in their ears and refused to hear it.

Almost half thinking worse of him seems pretty brutal for him.
Most things don't change people's views on their own. And it's not like it's really that surprising. I'd probably say it hasn't changed my view of him too!
It could be people already thought the worse of him lol.
But the 44% and 47% is really bad.
I think so, especially if this snowballs.
And the beautiful thing about the past 48 hours:Get the popcorn ready... The GOP Civil war will be the real fight to watch now. And the beautiful part is that they're utterly fucked either way.
Spectacular.
no takesies-backsies for the GOP pols who have withdrawn endorsements. They can't go back.
As long as those percentages with him being viewed worse keep growing. More stories will drip out.
There are just people that will vote for him regardless. I think the bigger damage is the dropped support and him likely attacking the GOP. It's going to happen.

Yup. I think the 50% of people whose views haven't changed are basically half assholes who agree with him and half people like us who already thought he was a monster.

This election feels like 1984 to me (the year, not the book). Was Mondale ever close in the polls?

Yeah it's literally every Clinton vote + die-hard Trumpers.
Close early on, but Reagan's lead was pretty stubborn. I'd love to see another uptick in the closing days.

Full results aren't out yet.
They'll be published once they air on Face the Nation.
