It is a sad state of affairs that people would have their vote changed by buzz.

But apparently some people are or why name a 'news' site Buzzfeed?

I know who I am going to vote for a year before any election. It is called principles.

I don't count how many monkeys are line up on one side of the issue or how many monkeys are lined up on the other side of the issue. It seems as thought some people do.

So I walk into a business that plays CNN 100% of the time and they are talking about the midterms and Russia spying. CNN has on a Congressman who almost no one had hear of and his measure of effectiveness is not ROI, but total $$$ spent 'fighting' the problem.

Maybe the DNC is is afraid that the bogeyman is behind the "Walk Away" campaign.

Everyone should vote on principles, as you said. ...I do the same. The problem is that media outlets distort facts based on who -they- want to see in office. They all do it. Cnn does it, fox news does it. Having said that, cnn's outrageous 92-95% negative coverage of Trump tells you how much they value truth. It used to be a gear network 10-20 years back but then they got hijacked by leftist agenda. Anyone who watched it as long as I did, must have noticed it. I voted for Obama twice because I really liked him abs his family (the character of the family tells you about the candidate. .his daughters were really nice and Michele too..)..But what I didn't appreciate even back then is that they never ever criticised Obama. Red line debacle? Wolf was on his side. Pivot to Asia disaster? Almost not reported. Fast and furious scandal and resulting deaths of border agents: 10 seconds on it. Targeting of republicans through tax office: 10 seconds on it. And when Obama then pushed hillary Clinton on me, I realized I voted for a crook. But that's my opinion based on my research. Not saying vote this or that. I'm saying: don't just watch one or evergreen two networks. To get a balanced insight you have to watch left and right. That means fox and cnn. And read, read, read. Good luck & happy voting whatever side you're on, we're all Americans. But do me one favour: if one side calls for an end of bedrocks of our justice system (eg innocence until proven guilty gets flipped into guilty until innocent),please for the love of God do not vote for them. It is literally unAmerican and a key pillar that separates our society from eg Saudi Arabia. When one side calls for the end of civil discourse until they're back in power, that's un-American. Please think about it. Thank you

So how bout dems sending pre filled out voter registration cards to non citizens? They need to be held to same standards and be charged. That is a form of meddling.
