Chuck Todd: These Goldman Sachs transcripts could have cost Hillary the nomination

Readers of this website know that there is one little problem. Okay, it’s not little. And we’re seeing it on steroids in this general election. Leftists have pipelines for information to reach enough voters, and conservative are still doing the same old thing and failing in the information war.
