The deputy social media director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign admits she never had "the cool candidate."
"We were never the cool candidate," Emmy Bengtson wrote in a Medium post commemorating the one-year anniversary since the election. "It was very, very hard to convince people to 'come out' with their support of Hillary."
Bengtson, who started at Clinton's Brooklyn headquarters in May 2015, said instead the team "showed why knowing issues inside and out and never, ever quitting were worthy of the same respect."
Nov. 8, 2016, was "the best day and the worst night of my life," Bengtson recalled in the post....

"It was very, very hard to convince people to 'come out' with their support of Hillary." ...said instead the team "showed why knowing issues inside and out and never, ever quitting were worthy of the same respect."The election iin 2016 showed that control of the old-line media -- and that control is nearly complete -- is no longer enough to fool enough go-along-to-get-along drones. Here's another tip for Hitlery and her ilk -- when you attack one gender during the campaign, and then you blame one gender for your loss, then attack half of the other gender for helping out, while also attacking ALL of the media (including the one prominent Demwit shill who bothered to ask just ONE question about just ONE of Hildebeast's scandals) which was entirely in the bag for your campaign, YOU WILL LOSE. Hiterly ran the most divisive campaign of all time, which was difficult, because Obama had set the previous record.
My God - will we EVER be done with the endless excuse making for Hillary’s loss?
Bernie was “bae”.
Obama was the Golden Child.
Hillary was Nana Pickles.
Obama was the ‘COOL” candidate. Trump was the ‘REAL” candidate.
600 hours in the makeup chair during the scampaign. So much lipstick on a pig.
The Alinsky model on steroids.
Hillary’s so cool, they call her coolo.
She (and by extension, the media) thought she was the heir apparent, waiting for her coronation.
Then an election happened, which brought their delusion to a sudden and painful halt.
“It was very, very hard to convince people to ‘come out’ with their support of Hillary.”

Actually, Hillary supporters were gleefully abusive of anyone NOT voting for Hillary and proud of it. They bragged on social media about yelling at people in social settings for being against “decency” (i.e., Hillary, I kid you not).
A very important point on your part.
Hillary was supposed to be a sure thng....
This arrogance showed up in all of the campaigning.
America wasnt buying it.
This is certainly not “cool”.
Why aren’t I 50 points ahead, you might ask???

....and calling voters ‘deplorables” was uncool.....
This know-nothing Hillary whore has the unmitigated gall to tell us Trump’s tweeting shows a lack of “restraint.”
Who the hell is she to judge? Nothing but a loser.
Ditto. She had zero charm and hardly ever smiled. I suspect it was health related. But that is not why she lost. She had no message for rural flyover country voters that were tired of the Obama administration.
Maybe next time they should run her body double. She seemed much more likeable.
Yeah, yeah. I know they drank poisoned fruit punch at Jonestown, but that joke wouldn't work.
and apparently they were not content being the most crooked.
