Watch: Trump mocks Clinton’s ’50 points ahead’ rant

Donald Trump’s campaign is mocking Hillary Clinton in a new ad released Monday, just days after she wondered why she wasn’t leading Trump by a wide margin in a call with supporters.

The ad accuses Clinton of being desperate, and for saying half of Trump’s supporters as belong in a “basket of deplorables.” After those gaffes, plus her ongoing email scandal, the ad asks, “Do you really need to ask?”

“Hillary Clinton is becoming more and more frustrated with how out of touch she is with the American people,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement. “Her message is not resonating with everyday Americans, as evidenced by the closing poll numbers, and she has completely underestimated the influence of Mr. Trump’s movement.”

“Expect to see more aggressive outbursts from the Clinton camp as she realizes her email scandal, horrific record and disdain for the American people block her from being coronated as she originally intended,” he added.
