Sorry Hillary, Friday's headlines will be about Trump (Read this)
CNBC ^ | July 28, 2016 | Jake Novak

This is the night Hillary Clinton has been waiting for her entire life. This is the night where she has her latest and best chance to make her case to undecided voters, clarify her vision for America, and cut into her massively high unfavorable ratings. Finally, the attention at the Democratic convention and in the news media will be on her, her message, and not just endorsements and speeches from powerful allies like Mike Bloomberg and President Barack Obama.

Good luck with that.

We already know who's going to dominate the headlines tomorrow morning in the end. And he happens to be Clinton's opponent. Let's justify that conclusion by reviewing the extremely recent evidence:

Donald Trump stole the headlines away from the Democrats and their convention Wednesday by stirring up controversies over Clinton's emails and the Russians. Thursday morning, even after four barn burner speeches by Mike Bloomberg, Joe Biden, Tim Kaine, and finally President Barack Obama, the most-talked about story in the news and social media is still Donald Trump's calls for the Russians to hand over the former Secretary of State's deleted emails. Maintaining the lion's share of media attention even in the wake of a stirring speech by the President of the United States is no easy task. But Trump, and his apparently still clueless and unintentional allies in the media, pulled it off.

Now, the "challenge" is to do the same to a mere Democratic presidential nominee with high unfavorable ratings, who doesn't possess the same speaking skills as President Obama, Vice President Biden, or even her husband. Even if only the established news media still controlled the main political narrative in this country, beating back Clinton's potential attention-grabbing chances wouldn't be impossible for Trump....

Trump has to come out really strong at his rallies today, and really pound her and the rest of the dems and their media minions good for all the lies they were spreading yesterday.

Article says the media knows something’s happening, but they don’t know what it is.

At some point, Clinton needs to get some attention for herself.

That is difficult, because she only has, at most, a short list of achievements. That list is countered by a long, thick list of scandals.

Anyone who goes beyond the list of platitudes she has received this week and what she will give in her speech this evening will see that her positive accomplishments are shallow.

Somewhere in a posh private jet, Trump is giggling to himself and thinking, “How will I tweak them today?” It isn’t really even hard anymore.

Nice article. I suspect Trump is really polling in the low 50’s right now and Hillary will never lift higher than 40!

I just watched Trump's press conference from July 27th. Wow. He fielded any-and-all questions from a hostile press FOR OVER ONE HOUR! He did it elegantly, without anger, with common sense and a great deal of patience. So impressive. Pointing to select the yelling reporters and fielding unrehearsed questions in this manner reminded me of the very old days...the Kennedy press conferences, for instance, where they never knew what was going to be asked. It shows a high degree of being able to think critically on your feet. Again....so impressive.

By the way, as of July 27th, it has been 235 days since Hillary has called such an open, unrehearsed press conference. I wonder why?

But she is lucky...it’s gonna’ be a dark and stormy night (RAIN) at the convention center, so any proposed outdoor protests will be minimized.
