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?
