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 a mere three percentage points, having fallen from her high of nine points in August, according to the latest Real Clear Politics 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 never-ending 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.”
At the same time, Daschle said, “all the things that Trump has done, the numbers should be far more explicitly in her favor, but they’re not.”
Among Democrats’ concerns is the fact that Clinton spent a great deal of time over the summer raising millions of dollars in private fundraisers — while Trump was devoting much of his schedule to rallies, speeches and TV appearances.

WaPo dump.
Democrats are great at constructing false worlds until reality can no longer be avoided. Like their polling for instance. They can skew them all the way up to November 8th. The let down on November 9th will be a big doozy for them LoL.
While Trump was honing his message
Fine tuning his team
Raising big bucks in small donations
Controlling the media day by day
Reaching out to the disenfranchised
Focusing on message
Getting used to the Teleprompter
Sharpening his Press Conference skills
Rolling over the Mexican President
Being Presidential.
.....(fill in the missing at your leisure)
Because she sucks.
And from his lair, Assange waits and smiles. Perhaps he will drop the H-bomb on October 15, time enough for the entire country to mull over the contents before most early voting begins. In TX, that’s Oct. 24-Nov. 4.(Is NC nuts….starting early voting TODAY???)
Because even the flatliners in America are starting to realize that Hellary is a lying murderous traitor!
Because she’s a crook and everybody knows it.
” . . . astonished that she isn’t running away with this . . .”
I’ve seen pictures of Hilary trying to make it up a flight of stairs; “running” is not a word I’d use in any statement involving her.
It’s what they get for having a rigged nomination.
Today I was behind an SUV that had two small bumper stickers, but they weren't on the bumper; they were located either side of the license plate.
One was a "Stop The Don" sticker, with a stylized depiction of Donald Trumps red hair blowing in the wind.
The other had a picture of a flying saucer hovering over some pine trees, and these words: "I want to believe."
I haven’t seen a single sign of Clinton support outside their automated/paid online silos, and of course the media and her various sponsors.

In a sane world, Trump would be ahead by 25 - 30 points in EVERY state.
And yes, Pickles Clinton sucks.
Voting machines, computer print outs and Secretaries of State all will come into play. Cuidado America. We are THISCLOSE to becoming a dictatorship.
Panic has set in at the Bezos Blog Still, they can’t help themselves but lie every other sentence.
“Just as Trump was repeatedly underestimated during the Republican primaries, his aides say he is again being underestimated heading into the general election.”

Being “misunderestimated” put you in the catbird seat. Let the Dems pick out drapes with Kitty Dukakis.
She's taking the next 5 days to recover from her 4-question "press conference". Her next public appearance is Wednesday. What I think the Democrats fail to understand is that Hillary is at least as flawed as a candidate as Trump.
As I read Dilbert, he thinks that 3% "shy" Trump voters could translate into a landslide.
Well, that’s true!
