Hillary Clinton’s first email communication after the terrorist attack in Nice, France was not about terrorism or foreign policy, but rather polling, asking for money and Donald Trump.

Campaign manager Robby Mook issued another dour email to supporters Thursday night at 7:57 pm (nearly two hours after news reports were first published about the truck attack), which read in part:

Ever since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, you and I have been having a consistent conversation about what his candidacy means, how his campaign does its work, and what it’s actually going to take to beat him.

So whenever we can share a new piece of evidence about where this race actually is, I want you to see it.

“These are public polls, so we should take them with a big grain of salt. But if you hear people saying that Hillary can’t possibly lose this race, make sure they see these numbers from yesterday morning,” Mook wrote and included this poll graphic:

“I’m not an alarmist, and you shouldn’t be either. That’s not how you win elections,” Mook wrote.

“But this election is going to be close. We really could lose, and these numbers are one of many reasons we should understand those basic facts to be true.”

He added, “Donald Trump is running to win. He said so from the start.”

Mook then predicted Trump will rise even higher in national polls, albeit in a ridiculing fashion.

“Meanwhile, he’s about to announce his running mate, who will help him consolidate the Republican base — that’s a poll bounce.

“He’s about to unleash a reality television circus of a national convention — that’s another bounce. He’s raising big money fast. He’s hiring more and more people for his team — and it seems that he’s even started listening to his advisors from time to time,” Mook wrote.

He concluded, “So don’t accept for a second that this race is anything less than a sprint.”

Mook then asked for a $1 contribution.
