I don't think we can rule out a wave, I think a Democratic takeover is possible but not probable.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I just think we all distrust people and institutions much more than we once did. And we tend to think elites run everything and are looking out for themselves at our expense. Add it up and you get LOTS more conspiracy theorists.

Of course, with the last ads shipped and the last polls conducted, there's not much to do but try to read the tea leaves. And from what Democrats are seeing, it doesn't look good. At all.

If you have ever sat in a focus group in a swing state, you are 100% certain that most soft partisans make up their minds on who to vote for based on things that are totally outside of an understanding of issues.

If people don't believe the source, then we aren't going to change their minds. We just won't.

The editorial board, who endorses candidates, is totally separate from the news side of the business. We don't consult one another. They have one job to do, we have a totally different one to do. So whether the Washington Post editorial board endorses Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is meaningless to me.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
Trump staying disciplined and on message is not what Donald Trump wants. He views himself as a tremendously gifted natural communicator who connects best with people when he is riffing without notes or preparation.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
It's impossible to predict anything when it comes to Trump.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
A lack of transparency that fuels the idea that she is either hiding something or simply not someone to be trusted.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
Brain surgery is not like politics and vice versa.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I don't think Donald Trump is going to lose by 15 points to Hillary Clinton or even 10. The country still feels too polarized for that to happen.

Big moments like the Olympics tend to freeze things in place. It's just very hard to break through the news cycle with peoples's eyes on the Olympics. That's even more true with the concerns about Zika and terrorism.

Halloween without kids is tremendously bad.
