During a carefully scripted speech today, democrat candidate Hillary Clinton went on the attack against candidate Donald Trump. It was rather weird to say the least. In essence the style and approach appeared to be Clinton as a liberal version of Ted Cruz.

However, a very insightful Gallup “Issues Poll” today provides the motive for Clinton’s desperate approach:

Trump is crushing Clinton on the top ranked voter priorities.

The top three priorities are: ♦ (1) The economy – Trump +10; ♦ (2) Jobs and Employment – Trump +7; ♦ (3) Terrorism and National Security – Trump +4

Trump is leading Hillary Clinton on the top issues of concern for the national electorate.
