This is a test.
This station is conducting a test of the emergency election system.
This is certainly a test.

We are testing the capacity of decent average Americans to see through the Alt-Right’s decades-long, multi-million dollar propaganda campaign against HRC to reject the most indecent, amoral, unprepared and dangerous candidate in the history of the republic.

Testing the conventional wisdom that to win requires a solid and expensive ground game, since Trump is using his capacity to get people riled up as his GOTV tool.

Testing the conventional wisdom that to win requires big spends on TV ads, since Trump is relying on his celebrity status and willingness to say outrageous things daily to lock in free media coverage each news cycle.

Testing the conventional wisdom that appearing unstable or unhinged or disrespectful to the military or to women or to our constitutional tradition…usually, any one of these will doom a campaign, and Trump is embracing all of these and more.

Yes, this is a test.
When this is over, we will all be asked to account for our vote.
Everything is on the test.


Do we stand for our constitutional order, decency, equality, and the American dream?
