Clinton’s data-driven campaign relied heavily on an algorithm named Ada. What didn’t she see?
Washington Post ^ | Nov 9, 2016 | John Wagner

Inside Hillary Clinton's campaign, she was known as Ada. Like the candidate herself, she had a penchant for secrecy and a private server. As blame gets parceled out Wednesday for the Democrat's stunning loss to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, Ada is likely to get a lot of second-guessing.

The REAL American people caused Hitlery to lose. What and who she is caused her to lose. Democrat/Obama policies caused her to lose.

Anything but every reason we are going to hear over the next four years -— CAUSED HER TO LOSE.

I wonder did Ada get it wrong or did some in the campaign know but not tell. They cancelled the fireworks on Monday, what other reason would cause that?

I agree, she did this to herself, but to see that the extent they went to, to get her in the White House, no wonder she didn’t go to the Rust Belt, she thought this computer was going to get her in Washington...

How stupid can you be?

I’m sick of all this talk about how she was supposed to win. Trump discussed issues that the voters wanted, and he won. She was a bad candidate.

Ada decided she wouldn’t be allowed to win. Fear the Machine!

Seriously. With all her health issues they named this program ADA?? They at least could have named it BILL. It would have at least done better with women.

While the Clinton campaign's reliance on analytics became well known, the particulars of Ada's work were kept under tight wraps, according to aides. The algorithm operated on a separate computer server than the rest of the Clinton operation as a security precaution, and only a few senior aides were able to access it.
Shame she couldn’t respect mandatory security precautions when they got in the way of evading FOIA.

National Security secrets can be kept on a private server subject to hacking by anyone.

Yet their polling data required more security????

After the tech glitches in Obamacare, followed by Ada, I guess this proves Democrats can’t program their way out of a paper bag.

She tried to be a mirror and reflect back to the viewer exactly what the viewer wanted to see. We need somebody with a strong image and clear ideas that don’t change from moment to moment. I may disagree with Trump on, say, China policy, but agree with him on other policies so much that whatever he thinks about China doesn’t matter to me. But what does somebody with a public and private view on every issue really believe? Hillary came across as dishonest, a liar and, very, very ill. Like Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney, she was clearly the wrong candidate to run.

What they didn’t realize is the name was cut short.

It stood for, “Ada Boy Donald!”

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha...
