current optics has Trump in the basement yet HRC is only polling 7 points ahead, commenting about the 'WHY' should be first and foremost here

Understanding the facts and dealing with them should matter to clear that so the point spread can grow, why would you deflect conversation about that?

Unfavorables matter, to ignore them would make you part of the problem, and I know you want to help the candidate beat Trump in NOV so, how can you be 'satisfied' with the current polling spread?
