Democrats ‘freaked out’ about polls in meeting with Clinton
The Hill ^ | 7/14/16 | Alexander Bolton

Nervous Senate Democrats raised concerns with Hillary Clinton

during a private meeting in the Capitol Thursday over a recent poll showing Donald Trump

leading or tied in several battleground states.

“Some people were freaked out, they were looking down at the polls on Real Clear Politics and asking why it was so close,” said a Democratic senator who attended the meeting, referring to a website lawmakers were checking out on their personal devices.

Clinton’s response? “She said there are other issues. People are unhappy and they don’t trust institutions,” the senator explained.

“$57 million so far, while Trump’s campaign hasn’t spent anything, and two allied outside groups have spent only $3.6 million.”

That’s what is really scaring them. They expected to carpet bomb with attack ads in a few swing states and win the election. They know now that Trump is polling well in Iowa and Wisconsin and it’s freaking them out. Now they see that the Beast will have to spend $millions in states they thought were safe.

Yes it’s because we don’t trust the establishment. But it’s also because she is a lying criminal, and also because the democrat party is supporting cop killers and Islamic terrorists. So there are a lot of reasons.

If Hillary really had a 7-10 point lead, Democrats should be orgasming with delight.

Instead, they’re depressed and freaked out.

Tells you more about the state of the race than all the polls combined do.

Queen Hillary does not worry about polls.

The only poles she’ll need are the ones she put the heads of the counter-royalists on.

Long live Queen Hillary!

Make law with your poles!

Trump has overperformed since January.
I can understand why the DC establishment is nervous.

All the money in the world won’t help.

Just ask a fellow named Jeb Bush for info on how you can spend lavishly and end up getting very few votes.

In times like this voters tend to vote for law and order. That ain’t the Clinton’s.

Yep very true. People don’t trust political insiders such as Hillary.

Hillary once said that she was a political outsider, due to the fact that she would be the first woman president. How can the first woman president be a political insider she asked???

"I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"

I think she should pick Ruth Bader Ginsburg as her vice president. It would help her with the left wing, it would improve the physical appearance of the ticket, Ginsburg has proven herself as a partisan attack dog, sand it would make Hillary look young by comparison. With the ticket having an average age of 76, it would also broaden their appeal to the young voters.

Richard Nixon in 1968.

GHW Bush made effective use of Willie Horton twenty years later.

“Trump will beat this lying witch like a drum.”

He is going to beat her like drum shaped like a baby seal that is hung on the back of a rented mule owned by red-headed step child who manages a store that sells rugs

And the worst speaker I’ve ever heard in politics.

I avoid her screech as much as possible, but she reads a teleprompter like a 3rd grader struggling to read a chapter from a book to the rest of the class.

Robotic, monotone droning until she starts turning the volume up to her ear piercing screech.
