An exasperated CNN host asks Trump surrogate to name a poll where he is winning (VIDEO)

Trump surrogate implied that the polls are skewed and tried to make a case that Trump is not losing as badly. There is some truth that Democrats should heed.

Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen had a prescient message that those wanting a Hillary Clinton win should heed.

“Here is the issue I think,” Hilary Rosen said. “I am going to agree with Scottie a little bit on one point which is that I don’t think national polls are really reflective of where this race is ultimately going to go. This race is really in the battleground states much closer than the national poll spread. And that’s why I think it is important that Kellyanne and Donald Trump get on the same page. Do we say we are ahead or do we say we are behind? That I think is the interesting thing, the message of the day. Hillary Clinton is out there saying, ‘We are not confident. We need you to be out there voting.’ We have a lot at stake in this election and I think that anybody who is out there acting like they are the frontrunner, is making just a strategic mistake. It is not what you want to be telling your voters. You want to be telling your voters kind of what Kellyanne is saying. Which is; There is a lot at stake. We are nervous. We are behind. And we have to get on our forward foot folks. So make sure you get out and vote.”
