Because there s not great affinity for these candidates. so while there s a lot of animus on both sides, people have doubts about their own candidate they re supporting, so so they re able to be swayed. but we re seeing it just going back and forth enough at the margins, not the hung sweep in one direction or another. hey, matea, it s donald, i want to do our daily wiki update. that s the point, every day something drips out. today it s about interacting with the king of morocco and a $12 million interaction. one of the reasons none of this is getting traction because donald does something that tops it. even if donald behaved like a normal candidate, it doesn t seem like any of this stuff is sticking. we ve spent a lot of time looking through the e-mails that were released. and you have to look into context, taken alone, some of these e-mails seem dramatic or alarming and it s important to do reporting around them and really understand what they say and signify about the way clinto ....
Story, because you re dealing with stolen goods here, basically, right? so there s question about how you verify that these e-mails that have been leaked are real. but there s also the question that s been posed by a lot of people. is it okay for us to be covering, you know, property that s really been stolen, presumably by russia, handed to wikileaks, and now put out, to try to intervene in an american election in an unprecedented way? so how do you guys grapple with that at the post. and you, yourself, personally? so we obviously take that issue really seriously. i think our view is, this material is out there. it s being interpreted by people who actually don t have a lot of knowledge of the reporting or nuances of these issues. i think we actually can help serve our readers by bringing some context and reporting around some of these e-mails and provide a fuller picture of what was actually happening. yeah, i know you guys are handling this responsibly and i didn t mean to sug ....
Else that s going on in the world, that would be just another cause for deep concern? yeah, i mean, you could call it the icing on the cake or also, just sort of a symptom of the larger problem, right? one of the things that is happening now is that hillary clinton and the democratic party had twice as much money on hand as republicans and donald trump, heading into this last final month before election day. by any way you measure it, that is not helpful. and if you look at actually how they re spending their money, you also see that the democrats have a huge advantage, especially on the ground and in the air, so hillary clinton s campaign spent $66 million last month, just on ads. that was three times as much as donald trump. she has 815 paid staff. she had 168. so the numbers really show the huge difference in infrastructure. right. so matea, let me ask you the obvious sort of question, right? donald trump has had a horrific three weeks, just horrific, by ....
Would be drooling to see in an e-mail? at this point, it s very hard to just speculate about hypotheticals about what would be in there and what would actually garner headlines. i don t think it s helpful for her to have this constant press so of stories about the political calculations that her strategists were making and trying to figure out how to make decisions on tpp, for example. it doesn t help her with her labor allies or the business community. there s no question this is not helpful. but i don t think we have any indication we re going to see any wrongdoing in these e-mails. and a lot of it is just sort of filling in the gaps of the story that we ve seen play out over the last almost two years now. matea, i want to bring our conversation to an end in this last minute we have together, with the way that everybody wants to end on a friday afternoon, which is talking about journalistic self-investigation. things that we journalists like to think about in the dark nights of o ....
Money from foreign countries? report it now. it s like if you see something, say something. but they re not asking you to donate. what do you think of huckabee saying don t join the military. don t. we laugh at some of this stuff, because it s so outrageous, but at the same time it s so profoundly anti-patriotic and it s realtily hard to imagine people saying this ten years ago. i think the standards have fallen even below what they used to be even during the clinton year to say don t join the military? that s his message. it s untrue it s insulting they talk like they think the base is wearing sheets. they may have underestimated statistic republican voter. thank you, jackie could you in addition, and david corn and matea. two young good governors. ....
