I have nothing to base the following thought on other than hearing this talk for 20 years:

It seems like when you hear this talk, when it comes from Republicans it usually means they're one tick more pessimistic than what they're saying and when it comes from Democrats they're one tick more optimistic than what they're saying.

Always been this way in my over 40years of campaigns; Democrats are notorious bedwetters and Republicans are notorious blowhards(I actually think this is a good thing because Republicans a lot of times become complacent as a result)

Which shows you just how bad a national campaign she ran; and even then, Trump basically hit an inside straight(to use a poker term); while losing the popular vote by almost 3 Million votes

When you're talking to people who are on Morning Joe its more about the type of message you're trying to put forth than an accurate representation of how you actually feel.
