Democrats wonder and worry: Why isn’t Clinton far ahead of Trump?

NEW YORK — With Election Day less than two months away, Democrats are increasingly worried that Hillary Clinton has not built a formidable lead against Donald Trump despite his historic weaknesses as a national party candidate.

Even the Democratic nominee’s advisers acknowledge that she must make changes, and quickly. Clinton leads Trump by three percentage points, having fallen from her high of nine points in August, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average. That tightening has frustrated many Clinton allies and operatives, who are astonished that she isn’t running away with this race, given Trump’s deep unpopularity and his continuing stream of controversial comments.

“Generally, I’m concerned, frankly,” said former Democratic Senate leader Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.). “It still looks positive, and I think if you look at the swing states and where she is right now, she’s got a lead. But it’s certainly not in the bag. We have two months to go, and I think it’s going to be a competitive race all the way through. I would say she’s got at least a 60 percent chance of winning.”

The best part of the article are the excellent hilarious posts still being made by the Washington Compost's readers.

Here is one of the posts:

"Democratic Progressive Liberals can't believe that a lot of people don't support their utopian grand ideas of open borders, anti-gun policies, bringing thousands of Muslim immigrants into our country, putting illegal aliens in the front of the line over taxpayers (at the expense of taxpayers), brainwashing our children at every level of public education, promoting anti-religion, steal your hard earned money to redistribute to those that dont want to work, BLM seizures, gay and LGBT issues forced down our throats even though the LGBTs are only 5% of the US population, can't use the term "Muslin extremist" I could go on and on, but you get the point. And to top it all off, Progressive Liberals think we're stupid and that we just are not that smart. Think again!"

Per a post:

“Two words: Hillary Clinton. She embodies everything wrong in a person. Unethical, liar, hypocrite, mean, evil, conniving, associates with deviants, married to a rapist, surrounded by miscreants, the list is endless. In contrast, Trump looks like a saint, THAT is how bad Clinton is and the entire country knows it.”

Per a post on the Washington Compost website:

If Wapo actually covered news instead of being the propaganda arm of the Democrats people might stop ridiculing them. Three things they haven’t covered in the past week alone that should eliminate Clinton from the race.

1) The FBI data dump, with enough evidence to bury Clinton under a jail.

2) The disgusting Labor Day Cough-a-thon in which Clinton literally vomits on stage.

3) Clinton cheating wearing an earpiece during the debate that wasn’t a debate.

And they wonder why the media has a 6%-approval rating.

If they want her so badly why not whistle up Hollyweird and have them cgi up a mega movie about Hillary winning the election and what happens for America after.

Why don’t they just email all those online astrology experts and pay them off so they all predict she will win.

Why not have a body double of hrc winning a NASCAR race.

I knew it was posted previously. However the turmoil this has caused on the WP website is bizarre. You can’t even read the posts as fast as they are being made.

The article and the comments to it need more attention, especially if you need a good laugh.

Brock and his media cronies can’t post enough pro Hillary responses to the pro Trump bombardment.

Great idea....maybe Hillary could be scripted to say she
wants to be "another Reagan."....just like 2008 Obama did.

Per a posted comment: (I think WP’s staff who were responsible for deleting the anti Hillary posts slept in this morning... too funny)

She’s not ahead because Hillary SOLD OUT TO BIG MONEY!

Hillary is controlled by special interest and son lout to corporate America and the Wall Street banks!

Everyone knows it and no one is going to show up and vote for her.

That’s why she sucks in the polls.

Face it she’s going down.

Suppose that an average voter wants to see & hear Hillary in person.

Hey, it’s the prime of campaign season, that’s not an unusual request, right? People can go to any one of many Trump rallies, if they want to see him.

But for Hillary, there are no rallies. Every event is closed-door, accessible only by Hillary’s small pre-selected group of supporters, general public not welcome.

It’s as if Team Hillary changed their slogan to “Give me your votes you dirty peons, but stay the hell away from me” ... THAT’S the impression voters get from Hillary’s invisibility. Even the people of Mexico feel snubbed by her!

That formula is not gonna win for her. So naturally I say, Keep hiding from the public, Hillary!!!

Rats worry. Caught in Trump trap (and he didn’t have to use any cheese to nail them).

Another op ed. Instead of journaling, just report the facts. Nothing else. Just the cold hard facts.

Per a post:

Pardon me, I had requested the Washington Post. You may have heard of it, award-winning reporting, detailed and balanced information, many consider an icon in the newspaper world.

Instead, you gave me the Democrat Party newsletter. It’s a very poor joke, and not funny.

Per a post: (Makes me wonder if the Freepers all went there to post this morning!!!)

Facts about Hillay’s health:
* Coughing spells on a high frequency.
* Head bobble problem.
* Eyes locked into a trance like state for short periods.
* Blood clots on the brain.
* Falls on fairly consistent basis.
* Pathological lying.
* Self proclaimed short circuiting.
Something is seriously wrong with this woman.
Also she smells like peepee,
Hillary’s long coats hide the adult diaper,
But not the stink that is a Clinton.
If she can open pickle jars
She can make license plates.
Hillary for prison
