On today’s episode the elephants go looooong after a loooong week. But don’t worry - it’s a big hit of optimism as the elephants chat about the polls, the trends, and where we see hope and where we see some…well, some real optimism. Then it’s a look at the media already writing obituaries and why this is a common tactic the media uses to get us to let our guard down. Don’t drop your hands! After that it’s a discussion about Joe Biden turning a blind eye to the attempted assassination of a Republican candidate in North Carolina. After that its a look back at 2010 and one elephant’s experience being in the middle of the storm, how conservatives were fighting voter fraud back in 2010 (and why it's so deeply offensive to this elephant that people make money off of rigged election claims), and the media panic about the world collapsing because of the Tea Party. Then, what the heck is going on at Twitter? Can it survive?
