That was a fun week, wasn't it?
The media declared that the election was sown up and Hillary didn't even need to try and compete anymore. And she had moved on to measuring the drapes and setting her first term policy agenda.
Here's the Washington Post on Aug 20.
With a comfortable lead, Clinton begins laying plans for her White House agenda
Hillary Clinton’s increasingly confident campaign has begun crafting a detailed agenda for her possible presidency, with plans to focus on measures aimed at creating jobs, boosting infrastructure spending and enacting immigration reform if current polling holds and she is easily elected to the White House in November.
In recent weeks, as her leads over GOP nominee Donald Trump have expanded, Clinton has started ramping up for a presidency defined by marquee legislation she has promised to seek immediately. The pace and scale of the planning reflect growing expectations among Democrats that she will win and take office in January alongside a new Democratic majority in the Senate.
That was nice. Wasn't it?
After weeks of slipping in the polls, Donald Trump is narrowing the advantage Hillary Clinton built in the wake of last month’s nominating conventions, a new Fox News poll of registered voters shows.
The poll, released Wednesday evening, shows Clinton with just a 2 percentage point lead, 41 percent to 39 percent, over Trump in a four-way race that also includes Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. The former secretary of state’s advantage sits within the poll’s 3-point margin of error, putting her in a statistical tie with her GOP opponent.
Inevitable. Hillary might want to hold off on measuring the drapes. The media ought to follow suit.
