* Once a false meme gets going, it becomes almost impossible to kill. The one about Clinton being in trouble with millennial voters has been particularly pernicious this election cycle. Here is another data point in an attempt to finally let it rest in peace.

* Beyond my personal interest in Texas, one of the reasons this tickles my fancy is that Hillary Clinton called it…four months ago.
So which states do you think Trump puts in play? I asked, mentioning the possibility of Georgia, which some think could go Democratic for the first time since her husband won it in 1992.
“Texas!” she exclaimed, eyes wide, as if daring me to question this, which I did. “You are not going to win Texas,” I said. She smiled, undaunted. “If black and Latino voters come out and vote, we could win Texas,” she told me firmly, practically licking her lips.
* Here is an important reminder from Charles Blow.

* Finally, this short video shows us a side of Hillary Clinton that doesn’t get much attention. I highly recommend that you take a couple of minutes to watch it.
