I heard on MSNBC that stations can choose to not show them because they are false.

They aren't saying "Damn, I wish we new that before we released the ad."

They are saying "I'm glad we got it out before the news hit."

We can't do anything about the early vote.

But one commentator on CNN said it could make a difference of one or two percentage points in Hillary's favor on election day, and that's what it might take in a couple of close races. Plus, there are those close Senate races. We need four to take back the Senate (Tim Kaine would break the tie.)

so that if the House does impeach we can prevent any conviction.

Charlie Cooke predicted this afternoon we would get four seats. I sure hope he's right.

The Trumpanzees have been running an anti-Hillary ad that is nearly identical in tone and casting to Marco Rubio's "It's Good to be a Clinton" from the primaries. The Trump ad is focused exclusively on the emails.

This would be a waste of time in a battleground state, but it's just burning dollars in my state and under the current circumstances.

Unbelievable.

My representative in Congress is a perfect example, and our Senate seats aren't being contested.

The polls are +7 Trump and widening.

Complete lunacy.

I dont think these ads will convince anyone, but stations should pull them.
