You know, the late great journalist Harry Evans, one time said that journalists should, you know, really try to achieve objectivity, and by that, he said, I mean they should cover the object.”
“Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump. His demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world. And stick with it.”

“I do think many, many more people are being given the opportunity to reject what Trump offers, what he represents,” Clinton mentioned. “Not as many, the race is still too close. The Electoral College is still the big hurdle that has to be overcome.
