Hillary Clinton needs to do these 3 things right now to save her campaign
CNBC ^ | September 19, 2016 | Jake Novak

With the polls continuing to show a decided trend in Donald Trump's favor, it's time for Hillary Clinton and her campaign to make some serious changes. There are probably 100 things a candidate who was once seen as a shoo-in winner needs to change once the tide turns, but let's get right to the three top priority musts:

1) Accept the facts

The biggest danger now for the Clinton team and her key backers is to brush off the polls as statistical noise or just a very brief trend that will flame out. The reason brushing off the polls is the biggest danger is because Clinton indeed does need to make serious changes that are much less likely to happen if her advisers believe she's going to win no matter what. Right now, there are still way too many Clinton supporters laughing at the mere suggestion she might lose. There are also a lot of Clinton team members who believe Trump's popular vote poll surge is partially real, but they're not convinced she can lose the Electoral College. Someone in the Clinton campaign needs to put the real fear of God into her staff and get them to act like she's truly behind now, because there's a really good chance she really is.

2) Get out in the streets

I've been advising both candidates to stop campaigning solely at rallies and on Twitter for months. Trump's momentum seemed to have changed for the better as soon as he did just that and visited the flood-ravaged areas of Louisiana and met the President of Mexico....

3) Do a strip tease

A blind man who heard HRC strip would say he thought it was 200 pounds of Jello in a portable cement mixer...

GOP should jam her earpiece transmissions. Maybe Donald Trump should wear an ear piece in the debate. “I will take off mine if you take off yours.”

80 posts and no one thought of this?

Bill passing on prior to November should be worth a couple of million sympathy votes. Could be enough to put her over the top.

Somebody in the audience should have a jammer and we can all watch her wince when the feedback hits.

Or better yet, over whelm her official voice and provide her with “new talking points” for her to Ron Burgundy.

That, I would love to see.

Kinda like a Jedi feeding her weak mind things to say.

3) Give Trump a hug... really!

On this one, Trump should pull out her catheter.

Jake Novak can safely proffer common sense advice because Hillary is absolutely convinced she is doing nothing wrong and doesn’t need to change.

Plus she can’t change even if she wanted to.
