In email Hillary Clinton admits having trouble beating Trump

[Triana]

From my inbox today:

Friend --

Everyone I know keeps asking me the same question: "He can't win, can he?"

News flash. He could.

In fact, there are a bunch of new polls out this week that have us in a dead heat with Donald Drumpf in the critical general election states of Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

Now, take public polls with a grain of salt, but it’s clear that this election is ACTUALLY going to be tight -- which means that if we start to get complacent, we're going to be looking at a Drumpf presidency.

What she DOESN'T SAY (of course) is that we would NOT be having this issue if Bernie Sanders was the Dem nominee because Sanders beats the pants off of Drumpf in every national poll.

3. Losing to Trump will effect the speaking fees

4. I ask anyone to show me a candidate who encourages supporters to sit on their hands

The number of people who really don't know politics and campaigns is staggering.

[Triana]

8. It is well known that Sanders is the stronger candidate against Trump.

It's not rocket science.

9. So? At one point Ben Carson was leading the Democratic candidates

These match up polls this early out are useless.

18. Really? Hillary doesn't seem to think so. n/t

10. How many attack ads have Repubs run against Sanders so far?

14. Exactly!

[beaglelover]

16. Exactly!! How can anyone not be able to comprehend that that is the ONLY reason

Bernie is beating Trump in the polling. Jesus Christ!!!!

12. The concerning things is that the GOP has a better track record of closing ranks before the polls.

.


If this poll, and the few others that came out have any validity (which to me seem like fuzzy polling),
this is while the GOP is heavily fractured and barely coming together. And HRC is only able to tie him?


Granted, the Dems will come together, but voter turnout seems to favor the Republicans this cycle.
There does not seem to be much draw from the Independents and semi-right leaning folks, just Trump haters.

As the GOP learns to love Trump, as he swings to the center and jettisons the bullshit he's been saying to
float above the other goons who were challenging him, many more will decide to stay and possibly vote for him.

since they started these matchups

15. Looks like you made it up

An email from her campaign says "Donald Drumpf?"

Post a screenshot

17. Yes. I have the "make Donald Drumpf again" browser plugin

It changes Trump to Drumpf.

Other than that, it's legit. Others here have undoubtedly gotten the same email.

So - no I didn't "make it up".

19. Fundraising e-mails always paint a bleak picture.
