2016 Postmortem

Hillary Clinton is on pace to shatter the voting history of college-educated whites, according to a new report that lays out Donald Trumps dire position in the presidential race.

There are millions of voter contacts yet to be made, thousands of tweets yet to be sent, more than 700 hours of cable news yet to be broadcast, dozens of crowds yet to be rallied, a handful of gaffes yet to be committed and two debates yet to be fought. But in the final 33 days left in this wild, wacky, whimsical presidential campaign for the ages, it's abundantly clear that this is Hillary Clinton's race to lose.
Put another way, it looks like she's gonna win.
The Democratic nominee is ahead of Donald Trump by 3 to 6 points nationally and has carved out small leads in a majority of battleground states. She is outspending Trump 4 to 1 on television advertising, including by a gaping $32 million in Florida and a yawning $22 million in Ohio.
President Barack Obama's job approval rating also is over 50 percent, a welcome harbinger for a candidate in the same party trying to succeed him. While the economy may be stagnant and struggling to grow, it is not in a recession. Unemployment is relatively low and consumer confidence is high, all good signs for the party asking to remain in power.

On local and entertainment media, she is being treated more fairly now. (at least sometimes)
the tide is shifting, we just need to keep that momentum.
