Keep in mind that the Olympics are currently overshadowing everything-Even with NBCs crappy coverage

Headlines that outrage us political junkies are likely not getting through.

On the other hand, Trump has so many bad headlines, that some may be getting through.

Hillary is reaching out to those college educated Republicans and they are respondiing. Of course we have the nuts that watch Fox and support Trump. Hillary was never going to get them anyway. I say firm up the base and reach out to moderate Republicans and Independents. They might not follow the news 24/7 but they know the state of this race. They hear/read the outrageous about Trump. You don't have to sit down in front of the tv to hear about it. It is all over social media.
