Washington Post: Clinton asks why she isn’t beating Trump by 50 points
ORLANDO — Hillary Clinton gave voice Wednesday to a question on the minds of many of her fiercest advocates in her race against the controversy-prone Donald Trump: Why isn’t she way, way ahead?
The Democratic nominee raised the issue here during an address via video conference to a gathering in Las Vegas of the Laborers' International Union of North America.
The former secretary of state ticked off her pro-union positions, including investing in infrastructure, raising the minimum wage and supporting collective bargaining.

That was really weird/strange, seemed drunk or on something, just not right, I've seen her speak a lot since 1992 this was so different from every other speech I've see her make.
Lots of medication.
If she fares poorly in the 1st debate, they will dope her up so much, she will not be mobile shortly after the 3rd debate.
After the 3rd debate she will have 3 to 7 days bed rest.
Creepy. Really creepy.
Better questions for her to ask would be "why am I not down by 50 points?" How is it that I am still in this thing?"
My prediction of a Trump victory is unchanged, howver, at the time the prediction was made I assumed that 1. Mr. Trump would change his abrasive personality at least for the cameras, 2.)team Trump and the RNC would develop a ground game, and 3.)"never Trump" people would behave like normal people when faced with unpleasent choices. Grit teeth, clench fists, swallow hard, and make the least bad choice, obviously Mr. Trump.
While there has been movement in areas 1 and 3, it is not what I would have expected. Had it been what I expected I think Mr. Trump really would be up by 50 now.
With that said this statement is rather bizarre by Hiliary and indicates she's out of touch with reality. I suspect the internal polls that tell the candidates how things really are indicate she's furthef behind than is generally indicated. The enitre rant she was own appeared to me to be that of an extremely desparate person.
