Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign said it believes Donald Trump could win the White House.
In a fundraising pitch distributed on Thursday, the Clinton campaign sought to use fear of a Trump presidency to bring in big bucks for Clinton’s campaign.

“Everyone I know keeps asking me the same question: ‘He can’t win, can he?’ News flash. He could,” wrote Christina Reynolds, Clinton campaign deputy communications director, in the fundraising email. “In fact, there are a bunch of new polls out this week that have us in a dead heat with Donald Trump in the critical general election states of Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.”
Reynolds continued to argue that the Clinton campaign has plenty of time to trounce Trump, but “if we start to get complacent, we’re going to be looking at a Trump presidency.”
Since Trump became the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, the Clinton campaign has begun much more aggressive attacks against Trump on social media. Trump has also trained his fire on Clinton via Instagram.
As the likely general election contest heats up, both sides have already begun using fear of the other to motivate their base and turn out voters.
