In true “never let a crisis go to waste” fashion, Hillary Clinton is using Donald Trump’s soaring poll numbers to her advantage.
Clinton’s campaign team pleaded with supporters to support the Democratic front-runner Monday, pointing to Trump’s success on the campaign trail.
In a late Monday email from Clinton’s deputy communications director Christina Reynolds, possible Hillary supporters were told “Donald Trump could win enough states to rack up a prohibitive delegate lead, making it almost certain that he could be the nominee” for the Republicans.
“That’s absolutely terrifying to imagine,” the email says.
Clinton’s team then tells recipients they have power to “prevent that hothead from ever becoming our president” by giving $1 to her campaign by the end of the day.
Clinton’s campaign asked supporters to pitch in and ensure, following Super Tuesday, that she is the Democratic nominee who takes Trump on in November.
