One Clinton supporter is “bugging all my friends to do something”
Hollywood Democrats are getting nervous about recent polls that show the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tightening.
“I’m freaked out,” David Schneiderman, co-owner and founder of Seismic Productions and prominent Clinton supporter, told TheWrap. “I now post stuff on Facebook every day bugging all my friends to do something. No one wants to wake up to Donald Trump on November 8.”
A Tuesday CNN/ORC poll showing Trump leading Clinton in a head-to-head match for the first time in six weeks caught some of Clinton’s staunchest industry supporters and donors by surprise. It is one of the “big five” polls widely considered the most reliable — though some journalists questioned its methodology.
Clinton enjoyed a significant lead in both national and key swing state polls for weeks after her smooth Democratic National Convention. Trump, meanwhile, was swarmed with negative stories about his fight with a Gold Star family and a $25,000 donation to Florida State Attorney General Pam Bondi as her office considered a lawsuit against Trump University. (She decided not to sue, but denies any impropriety).
In recent weeks, Clinton has faced tough questions about whether she gave preferential treatment to Clinton Foundation donors during her time as secretary of state. And her email scandal won’t go away.
Clinton is still up in most polls, but Trump is gaining. Clinton’s lead in the polls has shrunk to an average of 3.3 points, according to a RealClearPolitics, down from a peak of 7.9 points a month ago.
“You just never know,” Schneiderman said, acknowledging that “the emails are a problem.”
But if the polls are right, Clinton supporters say, that may not be such a bad thing.
“It’s just going to get some people to pay more attention,” L.A.-based Democratic strategist and Clinton supporter Donna Bojarsky told TheWrap. “It doesn’t change the fundamentals of the race, but, yes, no one should take anything for granted.”
Bojarsky said August fundraising numbers are a good indication that Clinton is on the right track. Clinton smashed her own fundraising record by raising a whopping $143 million last month, compared to Trump’s $90 million.
“Fundraising is a kind of voting,” Bojarsky said. “If someone is raising a ton of money, it’s a sign of enthusiasm.”
Clinton’s supporters also note that she’s also leading in key swing states and has even managed to put some historically red states into play. A 50-state Washington Post-SurveyMonkey poll, released Tuesday, showed Trump struggling in states like Arizona and Georgia and even Texas, where he’s in a virtual dead heat with Clinton. That will help her in the contest for Electoral College votes, the only race that truly matters.
Still, the fact that Trump is still within striking distance of Clinton is enough to rattle some Democrats.
“I’m holding my breath,” Shneiderman said. “As always.”
We don’t want them freaked out.
We want them driven to utter derision.
It might be Karmic Hug time.
No one wants to wake up to Donald Trump on November 8
Well I do and it seems a lot of American do too.
No, I’d rather wake up to President-elect Trump on November 9.
The amount of $$ raised doesn’t necessarily mean much. If she raised a lot more dollars, but they were from her big donors, it doesn’t mean more votes than if Trump collect a fair amount less, but from a large number of small donors.
Huh?
I’ll offer to help. Hollywood liberals! Don’t forget to get out and vote for your candidate on Nov. 9! Let’s take Trump out!
“No one wants to wake up to Donald Trump on November 8th.”

The dumba$$ Schneiderman doesn’t even know the date of the election.
The election is on Tuesday, November 8th, so he would be waking up to the news of a Trump victory on Wednesday, November 9th.
Hmm...chain gangs of Hollywood liberals building a 50-foot wall from San Diego to Brownsville. We could make a documentary. Heck, we’d even pay ‘em scale.
Just give her more money!
Good, let them be scared, and find the nearest lemming friendly cliff.
One really has to question WHY the Dems are SOOOOOO afraid of Trump: He’s an outsider with absolutely NO REGARD for the Political Correctness that is the foundation of their Fascist ideology.
If Trump wins, it means the old template of backing down because someone calls you “mean” is destroyed.
Without controlling the language, the Left can’t control the people....Trumps’ election is MUCH bigger than anything he will actually do as President.
Now that’s a hellova good word!!
I do.
As president, yes, me too. Just to be clear.
