One Clinton supporter is “bugging all my friends to do something”
Hollywood Democrats are getting nervous about recent polls that show the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tightening.
“I’m freaked out,” David Schneiderman, co-owner and founder of Seismic Productions and prominent Clinton supporter, told TheWrap. “I now post stuff on Facebook every day bugging all my friends to do something. No one wants to wake up to Donald Trump on November 8.”
A Tuesday CNN/ORC poll showing Trump leading Clinton in a head-to-head match for the first time in six weeks caught some of Clinton’s staunchest industry supporters and donors by surprise. It is one of the “big five” polls widely considered the most reliable — though some journalists questioned its methodology.
Clinton enjoyed a significant lead in both national and key swing state polls for weeks after her smooth Democratic National Convention. Trump, meanwhile, was swarmed with negative stories about his fight with a Gold Star family and a $25,000 donation to Florida State Attorney General Pam Bondi as her office considered a lawsuit against Trump University. (She decided not to sue, but denies any impropriety).
In recent weeks, Clinton has faced tough questions about whether she gave preferential treatment to Clinton Foundation donors during her time as secretary of state. And her email scandal won’t go away.
Clinton is still up in most polls, but Trump is gaining. Clinton’s lead in the polls has shrunk to an average of 3.3 points, according to a RealClearPolitics, down from a peak of 7.9 points a month ago.
“You just never know,” Schneiderman said, acknowledging that “the emails are a problem.”
But if the polls are right, Clinton supporters say, that may not be such a bad thing.
“It’s just going to get some people to pay more attention,” L.A.-based Democratic strategist and Clinton supporter Donna Bojarsky told TheWrap. “It doesn’t change the fundamentals of the race, but, yes, no one should take anything for granted.”
Bojarsky said August fundraising numbers are a good indication that Clinton is on the right track. Clinton smashed her own fundraising record by raising a whopping $143 million last month, compared to Trump’s $90 million.
“Fundraising is a kind of voting,” Bojarsky said. “If someone is raising a ton of money, it’s a sign of enthusiasm.”
Clinton’s supporters also note that she’s also leading in key swing states and has even managed to put some historically red states into play. A 50-state Washington Post-SurveyMonkey poll, released Tuesday, showed Trump struggling in states like Arizona and Georgia and even Texas, where he’s in a virtual dead heat with Clinton. That will help her in the contest for Electoral College votes, the only race that truly matters.
Still, the fact that Trump is still within striking distance of Clinton is enough to rattle some Democrats.
“I’m holding my breath,” Shneiderman said. “As always.”
Liberals freak out when Republicans are elected but they expect us to all “Deal with it” when Liberals are elected..I would love to see Trump elected so I can watch these douche bags just leave the country would be the best thing ever..the air would be fresh again
Trump has turned the light on and caused the cock roaches of America scurrying in circles.
Anybody supporting Clinton is sick and disturbed.
ROFL...I love it!!! Thanks!!!
That aint gonna happen. These effing’ libtards are FOS. Yer’ right. When these assholes have a GOP prez, they ALWAYS PROMISE to leave the country.
Then they do jack squat. When a Dummycrat prez happens, we just put up with it and stock ammo. I’ve been waiting 8 years and I wanna party.
They pulled the same crap in 2000, they were screaming that they would leave if Bush became President, guess what, after Bush won, these same libtards SHUT THEIR TRAPS and didnt leave..what a shock..NOT..they cant leave all that money behind where would they go, Venezuela their Commie paradise of course not, they wouldnt wait in line for hours for Toilet Paper they are too special for that
I wish I could get just a 0.000001% cut of the benzodiazepine sales in Hollywood over the next two months. I’d be able to fund my own campaign for president!
Trump should have someone seize the Hollywood liberals’ assets in order to pay off the national debt they caused. That would probably be useful in getting them to leave the country.
Personally, I’m hoping he goes the Duterte route with these cretins.
Day after Trump is elected...LIBERAL HEADS EXPLODE ALL OVER THE NATION...That will be something to witness.Saw a man land on the moon and liberals literally exploded...
Maybe I could take a crash course at Famous Psychiatrist School to take advantage of the upturn in business.
Keep trying, yutz.
Fixed it.
Yeah you did, got a smirk out of me.
“No one wants to wake up to Donald Trump on November 8.”
Except me.
Meanwhile, Hillary is hacking and vomiting up venom and looking sicker by the day.
The left will explode in violence. But they have overlooked one little detail: their resort to violence will occasion the Settling of Accounts phase of this revolution. I’ve got a Little List. I’m sure some of you have yours.
If Trump wins God Willing I will turn on MSNBC just to watch them cry and have a temper tantrum like a 2 yr old
Memo to Hollywood: There’s only one place for you to go.
ELSEWHERE!
