How She Lost

The American Prospect ^ | September 21, 2017 | Stanley Greenberg

The only reason Clinton lost was because the DNC and Clinton misjudged how much to fraud the vote.

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

Hillary lost because she is a loser.

[Jim W N]

Blah, blah, blah...

All the Lying Leftist politics that tries to capitalize on dysfunction.

The Lying Left: the Dysfunctional Demagogues trying to exploit and capitalize on dysfunction. The Dems and the Lying left are truly the Enemy Within.

I hope soon to hear more of the Dems and the Lying Left going *glug* *glug* *glug*...

her unwillingness to challenge the excesses of big money and corporate influence

---

Since Hillary was soaking in big money and the prime beneficiary of the MSM (corporate influence writ Brobdingnagian), Hillary could hardly denounce either.

[going hot]

Almost a year later, and still the woulda coulda shoulda.

The bitch lost, and they need to get over it.

Turns out the majority of voters thinks her Shiite certainly does in fact --->stink<---.

Hillary Clinton’s tragic 2016 campaign

---

A tragedy that must rival the fall of the USSR to a leftist. To the rest of us, had she been elected, tragedy doesn’t begin to describe what would have descended on the US.

[marktwain]

Wow. The writer lives in an alternate universe.

Talk about the “watching a different movie”.

The Clintons with all their wealth, sleaze, and corruption... never even mentioned.

[piasa]

Obama’s America was not a country in pain, but one where those left behind were looking for a seasoned leader to make progress.

Typical lib view. I was looking for a government that gets out of the way and leaves me alone. Instead we got a nanny state that knows every intimate detail of your life better than your family does and that shares all that data with thieves and foreign enemies.

Demography is destiny, eventually. But you have to run a human as a candidate.

[GOPJ]

Looking for the ‘right words’ to con the American people might NOT be the answer... I think democrats are finished.

[txnativegop]

This idiot believes that Socialist symbolism is something real

and tangible. It’s delusional at best(to be charitable).

It is also supremely arrogant.

[Slyfox]

I think it is real funny that Hitliary pulled out every stop, bared her naked body towards every full and crescent moon, ramped up every super delegate, so sure she would be the first woman president.

And she still lost.

Evertime I think about it I wanna do a happy dance.

The campaign relied far too heavily on something that campaign technicians call “data analytics.” This refers to the use of models built from a database of the country’s 200 million voters, including turnout history and demographic and consumer information, updated daily by an automated poll asking for vote preference to project the election result. But when campaign developments overtake the model’s assumptions, you get surprised by the voters—and this happened repeatedly.

But in a time when fewer and fewer people have landline telephones and few of those answer them for unknown callers or (even worse) known pollsters, big data translates into big crappy data.

If Hillary's crew couldn't see Trump overflowing venues with multiple rallies per day while Hillary had to get the MSM to not raise their cameras to show the empty seats past row ten in a high school gymnasium and realize their polling was crap, they didn't deserve a minimum wage for their advice, much less millions of dollars.

[Lurker]

I shudder to think what would be happining right now had Hillary won.

What a pile of self-congratulatory blather. “If she had listened to me, I coulda done the deed for her”.

I don’t agree. The author sloughs off the “trust” thing and dives into subtle nuances that only he, gifted as he is, can see. Yet as gifted as this author thinks he is, he utterly fails to recognize that HRC is truly a despicable person with awful personal traits. And her poorly run campaign was nothing if not a repetitive exposition of exactly that. As I’ve said many times, HRC so deeply offended anyone not automatically programmed to vote for her, but looking to rely upon her, to regard her as a sociopathic, unrepentent, pathological liar. It may be a bad trait to put down women the way Trump was said to have done. It may be a bad trait to issue offensive tweets. But no matter how bad those are, for her to demonstrate clearly over and over that she was a flat out liar cut through all other aspersions cast on Trump. She showed she was a liar who would lie, get caught with another lie, walk back her story, get caught, then lie again. There never was any apparent end visible. And it was clear that she expected peopl to buy her lying and that she expected no legal consequences for having done so. It was all a misunderstanding by people who wished to harm her. Nothing she did was wrong. She took it five bridges too far.

She lied the way a little kid lies, gets caught, then makes up another lie, and EVERY MOTHER saw it and KNEW she was lying. Oh, she connected all right. She connected to every woman in the country who’s had a kid who gets into trouble and then lies to try to get out. Which is every one of them, at some point. And this routine was repeated enough times so it was burned into the awareness of every woman who has had a kid or a bum of a lying boyfriend or both. This is why and how she lost the final pillar of her support among women.

By that time she had written off white middle class voters, and never campaigned in what the author calls “battleground” states. I don’t think they were battleground states. They were states that have gone Dem for many years and she should have been able to count on them, but she ignored them by not showing up in them, taking them entirely for granted, then she told half the population of said states that they were deplorable, and carried on her lie-a-thon as if she was owed everything she showed she was in actuality just out to steal as much as she could, if she could.

She is a miserable, offensive pathological liar who gives not a shit for anyone but herself. And fortunately the American people saw that with clarity.

After reading this a few times, I am confused about the meaning.

Is Greenberg criticing Hillary or is this his public lover letter to her?

Did Donald Trump Use Artificial Intelligence to Win the Election?

Another ridiculous apologist and liar scrawls out an apologia riddled with lies. It's also good to look into the face of the enemy, so thanks 2ndDivisionVet!

[publius911]

The Trump presidency concentrates the mind on the malpractice that helped put him in office. For me, the most glaring examples include the Clinton campaign’s over-dependence on technical analytics; its failure to run campaigns to win the battleground states; the decision to focus on the rainbow base and identity politics at the expense of the working class; and the failure to address the candidate’s growing “trust problem” or to learn from events and reposition.

She was clearly aware of her problem, but unable to do a thing about it.
Trying to to change her message to what she thought each audience needed to hear, and avoiding what she knew they didn't want to hear.

Thus, no hint of endemic, almost genetic tendency towards criminal behavior among blacks, and stressing their "need" to function like normal human beings, and increased demands for free stuff, including healthcare...

Switching to stressing loss of jobs when addressing whites and ignoring their expectation of onerous impossible and increasing new tax burdens at the same time, to fund other subgroup's expectations.

Ridiculous and transparent attempt at suspension of disbelief.
Cognitive dissonance in all directions.

It could never possibly work, no matter how hard Jonathan Gruber worked at it with "Obamacare," for example...

NO subgroup of the electorate is that stupid!
