A reminder from Cenk to GOTV

We haven't won all the hearts and minds, yet.

[blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"][p lang="en" dir="ltr"]Almost never met working class person who had nice thing to say about Hillary Clinton. DC bubble is not getting how disliked she is. Uh oh.

It's no secret that Cenk was a huge Bernie booster through the primary, but his analysis is usually spot on.

Remember that Trump is still speaking straight to the pocketbook of a lot of working class non-unionized people. He's lying through his teeth, of course, but the vast majority don't understand that.

The race is not yet won, and it's still vital to GOTV and counter the vicious lies spewing from the dumpster fire of the GOP.

Have people already forgotten that McCain led Obama after the RNC, and wound up getting clobbered? Settle down, folks.

He's also said it's far more important to defeat Trump. That doesn't mean he can't give any Democrat a criticism. I don't always agree with Cenk, but he's remarkably fair, evenhanded, and thoughtful.

Plus he almost decked Alex Jones. That's something to admire.

I don't always agree with Cenk (I'm more in line with Ben, usually), but he's usually incredibly fair and he's extremely analytical.

These guys have been anti-Obama and Hillary for years. They push a narrative about Hillary that just isn't true and they continue to do it without any fact checking. Cenk and Jimmy Dore are the worst they're unwatchable.

It's all about too much PC and putting minorities in their place. You can't reach them.
