I am convinced none these political pundits know

shit from Shinola. Last night I hear one of them on CNN talking about the polls tightening, this one says Trump has hit a ceiling
he isn't going up Hillary is going down. Then I turn to MSNBC and Rachel Maddow is talking about Trumps Latino vote only being 19%
and it is impossible for him to win unless he carries 47% of the Latino vote. Then the next segment has Dan Rather and he is talking about Hillary being on the defensive ever since the convention and he says that Trump is surging. I swear if you listened to Dan Rather Hillary doesn't have a chance. What worries me Trump will make a total ass out of himself as usual in the debates and the fucking media will declare him the winner just like in the Republican debates..

Campaigns buy polling services from pollsters. Pollsters produce polls that scare candidates into spending more ad money here than there. After ads are shown, campaigns request another poll. pollsters produce polls that scare candidates into buying more ad time there. Candidate must now raise more money to buy ads. Rinse, repeat!
