Clinton asks why she isn’t beating Trump by 50 points
The Washington Post's PostPolitics ^ | September 21, 2016 | John Wagner

ORLANDO — Hillary Clinton gave voice Wednesday to a question on the minds of many of her fiercest advocates in her race against the controversy-prone Donald Trump: Why isn’t she way, way ahead?

The Democratic nominee raised the issue here during an address via video conference to a gathering in Las Vegas of the Labor International Union of North America.

The former secretary of state ticked off her pro-union positions, including investing in infrastructure, raising the minimum wage and supporting collective bargaining.

“Having said all this, ‘Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?’ you might ask?” Clinton said. “Well, the choice for working families has never been clearer. I need your help to get Donald Trump’s record out to everybody. Nobody should be fooled.”(continued)

You really are ill, you Witch. Besides physically and spiritually sick, you are mentally ill and deluded.

The media has fooled this country about you and Bubba for the past 25 years. On November 8th this woman is getting her comeuppance once and for all.

Because she’s an unattractive, shrill, lying, crooked, incompetent bitch? Just a theory.

Very telling that she’s trying to concentrate on the ‘record’ of Trump, who has never held public office, as opposed to showcasing her own ‘achievements’ and her own record after spending essentially her entire adult life on the public dole.

I wonder the opposite every day. Trump should be ahead of her by 50 points. Anyone should be ahead of her, I can’t even imagine that she is running for President. I keep thinking I will wake up and find I have only dreamed the last 10-20 years or so...

Why isn’t Hillary up by even 5? Trump just blew past her in Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio.

Wapo, maybe do some “real” journalism and ask her these questions, and she will understand why?

Her email lies?
Her usage of 13 blackberry’s purchased on Ebay?
Her use of Bleachbit to destroy evidence?
Her time as Secretary of State that destablized the entire middle east?
Her usage of the Clinton Foundation to funnel massive cash to self in exchange for favors?
Her spastic collapse on 9/11?
Her having Dr. Drew of CNN fired?
Her scrubbing of David Seamon’s article and job at Huffington Post?
Her order to kill Seth Rich?
Her character assassination of all of Bill’s rape victims?
Her medicated upright stance, with barely open eyes, the night three cities were hit with stabbings and bombings?
Her reasoning for running from her press corp for the first 90 minutes post seizure, when she lost her shoe?
Her lies about the flu per Bill?
Her demand that CNN delete Bill and her own words?
Her using the lapdog press corp and WAPO as media hores?
Her demands for dirty work by #stonetear

One would think with the Ministry of Propaganda behind her the way they are she would be 50 points up.
Non-stop Trump trashing to go with her multi-million dollar negative ad campaign.

She expected Yeb! to be the Designated Loser who would lose graciously after a half-hearted effort.

Trump is thumping her and he’s just getting warmed up and she is out of gas.

Saw this exchange on WaPo:

Claim:
When Trump loses, any network that gives him a show should be boycotted.

Response and Owned:
“When Trump wins don’t worry I have it on good information that HilLIARy will be offered a spot on the Walking Dead as a Zombie.”
