“Buckle up everybody, this thing is not just a wild ride, it’s crashing, brace for impact,” Cenk Uygur with The Young Turks stated with regard to the latest polls on Tuesday. “Don’t listen to the media who tells you that it’s going to be a landslide and she can’t lose.”
Uygur called the latest LA Times/USC Tracking poll that has Trump leading the former Secretary of State by four percent “disastrous news” for Clinton and contrast complacency in the mainstream media and Washington with regard to the Donald Trump campaign and the Brexit campaign that has resulted in a mandate that the United Kingdom sever decades-old economic ties with mainland Europe.
