Trump campaign says it's "behind," as new poll shows him down double digits
CBS NEWS ^ | October 23, 2016 | REENA FLORES

Posted on 10/23/2016 1:05:37 PM PDT by Bratch

In the final sprint of the general election season, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is acknowledging that it’s playing catch-up to Hillary Clinton, just as a new national poll shows the Republican nominee trailing his opponent by double digits.

When asked on NBC News how she saw the state of the race, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, replied that “We are behind.”

“She has some advantages, like $66 million in ad buys just in the month of September, thereby doubling her ad buys from August,” Conway pointed out. “Now, most of those ads are negative against Donald Trump, classic politics, personal destruction...kind of ads. And that she has tremendous advantages.”

internal polls which is a true measure of honest voting doesn’t take into account the 180,000 illegal aliens and in Florida as an example. Don’t forget the zombies that vote

Thank you!

Beard repeating:

ranscript Excerpt

CHUCK TODD:

Let me just ask you about all of these national polls have come out, most of them have shown a large lead for Secretary Clinton, there are a couple that have different methodology that have shown a tighter race. Where do you see this race right now? Do you acknowledge that your behind?

KELLYANNE CONWAY:

We are behind. She has some advantages, like $66 million in ad buys just in the month of September, thereby doubling her ad buys from August. Now, most of those ads are negative against Donald Trump, classic politics, personal destruction, cesspool kind of ads. And that she has tremendous advantages.

She has a former president, happens to be her husband, campaigning for her. The current president and First Lady, Vice President, all much more popular than she can hope to be. And she’s seen as the incumbent. So our advantage going in when we’re behind one, three, four points in some of these swing states that Mitt Romney lost to President Obama, Chuck our advantage is that Donald Trump is just going to continue to take the case directly to the people.

He doesn’t expect to be able to cut through the noise or the silence and the way we’re treated by some. And so he’s taking the case, he’s going to visit all of these swing states many times, as is his running mate, Governor Pence. And we feel that with Hillary Clinton under 50 percent in some of these places, even though she has run a very traditional and expensive campaign, that we have a shot of getting those undecided voters that somehow have said, “I know who Hillary Clinton is, I don’t want to vote for her, I don’t much trust or like her,” we need to bring them aboard over the next couple of weeks.

Good point.

Okay... So thanks for all the obvious reasons we're behind. Tell us something about Clinton we don't know. Trump has been taking his message to the people with big rallies. Yet he is still behind. So, what was a new strategy? Obviously there wasn't one.

The rallies give us a few thousand people and nobody else in that state gets the message. News blackout. Trump has billions and could have at least targeted the airways. Well, I'm repeating myself from posts I made weeks ago.

Why would she say this even if it were true?

Because the 2% that he’s ahead right now isn’t enough to cover the approximately 3-4% impending fraudulent votes.
When Trump is up 5% in the polls he’ll win by 1%+. Pedal to he metal.

I knew we would not win with Mccain and Rominey.

Playing weak and behind is very dangerous. Lots of older less healthier people will say here we go again and stay home.

You know the Dems have something big cooking to release the Friday before we vote.

I hope Trump knows what he is doing.

ALL of Mr. Trump’s rallys are shown on CSPAN and are available on YouTube.

I trust the man's instincts .. he has proven himself a true WARRIOR.

For any fraud that occurs, the perps shoud HANG.
DJ was absolutely correct to not be suckered into a commitment to accept the results prima facia.

I was at the Gettysburg speech and he said that the media wasn’t reporting the fact that he was ahead in several nationally-respected national polls, including the one that has been the most accurate in the past two cycles (actually three).

I understand the RNC has put ZERO dollars into Trump’s campaign while they put 45 million into Romney’s...

No she is a hack who doesn’t know when to shut up about your campaigns shortcomings. This could really kill voter turnout - she should have known better. She should be let go for this - or at least make no further public appearances on behalf of the campaign. Eric Trump did much better, not only called the ABC poll BS, but also said they lead in four polls and even worked in the Veritas videos and Wikileaks releases!!

In his book, Think Like a Champion, Trump praised The Art of War and suggested that all businessmen should read it. He clearly thinks military strategy is useful far beyond actual war.

The RNC campaign is part of the Trump campaign. Reince Priebus is on board the Trump train.

Not only do we have phony polls, we have our campaign manager validating them.
