CHRIS HAYES (HOST): Where do you see the campaign post-Comey? 

ERIC BOEHLERT: In terms of the status, I think it's very similar to post-pneumonia, right? There was this big Friday, Saturday blowup when Hillary Clinton had the pneumonia bout, the polls went south for about five days, it was a major interruption. And I think we've seen that same thing. Some of those early polls after this Comey shocker, after people like my barber told me that the FBI had reopened this investigation, when that false information got out, I think it interrupted the race. I think we're back to where the race was now. I think she clearly has the momentum, as you talked about the early voting states in Nevada and Florida. 40 million votes already cast and she's ahead in those. So, I think the race is almost where it was pre-Comey shocker. 

HAYES: There also seems to me that part of the strategy right now in talking about -- it's very interesting to hear, there's clearly a few strategies here, one is, as you can tell from A.J., target disaffected Bernie [Sanders] folks, the anti-war, trade message, part of me thinks there's a geographical push for the Midwest for that reason. But there's also it seems to me, some sort of notion of, look, we're going to make it terrible if you elect Clinton. No, I'm serious. I honestly think it's a very, and not necessarily a stupid tactic. They have basically all but said, Trump himself said there will be a constitutional crisis. And basically the argument is we're going to make it a brutal slog if you elect this woman, so maybe don't do it. 

BOEHLERT: Right, again, pre-Comey, we saw reports that they were going to try to suppress the vote, they were going to try and suppress the African-American vote, we saw tonight they were going to suppress the Bernie Sanders vote. But now I think with Comey and this fake impeachment, we have Fox News manufacturing these stories that she's going to be indicted that Bret Baier had to walk back. They're committed, I think, to this talking point. And look, if they think they can bully 40, 50 million Democrats and they're going to say, you're right take it, we don't want the presidency, we don't want the Congress, you're going to make it awful. That's their strategy, I can't imagine Democrats and a lot of Americans are going to sit there and say, huh, I think I'm going to sit home and just give it to them. I don't think anyone has ever bullied the presidency away from another party. Or scared them away from voting. Look at those lines today, people are waiting two, three, four hours, they don't seem to be afraid that we're going to head into a morass. We'll deal with that when the sort-of Republican radicals get back into office.
