WASHINGTON ― In the closing weeks of the presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton’s staff in key Midwest states sent out alarms to their headquarters in Brooklyn. They were facing a problematic shortage of paid canvassers to help turn out the vote.
For months, the Clinton campaign had banked on a wide army of volunteer organizers to help corral independents and Democratic leaners and re-energize a base not particularly enthused about the election. But they were volunteers. And as anecdotal data came back to offices in key battlegrounds, concern mounted that leadership had skimped on a critical campaign function.
“It was arrogance, arrogance that they were going to win. That this was all wrapped up,” a senior battleground state operative told The Huffington Post.

“A touch of arrogance”? You have to be kidding, they have been the most arrogant A hole politicians since Noah built that arc. It is well past time they be led into the desert on a one way journey.
They believed their own propaganda.
A much of arrogance! :-)
The Hillary campaign relied too heavily on the Ministry of Propaganda to carry her across the finish line.
They had an unlikeable candidate who was physically unable to keep up the pace of campaigning in all the states.
LOL! Yup. You beat me to it. Touch, like with a ten pound sledge hammer?
What arrogance? We have been assured for two decades that Hillary is perfect. She has no arrogance, no flaws, and no weaknesses.
I cannot imagine why anyone would think there might be even a touch of arrogance ins the best possible (okay, only possible) choice for the office of First Woman President - a position that she is entitled to under Democrat Party rules that she personally wrote.
Yeah, right. Hillary was undone by her criminal acts that reached the public forum.
Hillary is not a new face in the corrupt Washington cartel like lawless Obama was.
I went to huff and puff to read the article. The article itself was your typical finger pointing exercise. But what really got me were the ridiculous, off the wall headlines in both the left and right margins beside the article. Those people are just completely blind. Just amazing.
In short, Hillary stupidly ignored the advice of her very own husband, who (despite all his faults!) was a master campaigner in 1992 and 1996 and clearly knew the Clinton campaign had to aggressively court voters in the Upper Midwest. But Hillary’s “Me, me, me!” attitude won the day and she ended up losing the election.
They sent out alarms? They were PLEADING with her to send reinforcements and she DIDN’T?
Now where have we heard THAT story before? Hmm...?
*SPIT*
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! :)
The same MSM that propped them up and relentlessly attacked Trump did them a disservice. The MSM lead the Clinton camp to believe that it was inevitable.
The irony is SO DELICIOUS.
They ran a Sick Old Bitty and her Sorry Old Bustard husband. What did they expect?

Hillary was so weak and sleepy so much of the time that her
magical thinking clicked in and she could not fathom why
she wasn’t 50 points ahead. - The Weiners had her
mesmerized. Maybe she will finally just shut her piehole!
Just deserts...

Harry Truman once said that you could not get rich in politics unless you were a crook. The Clintons have amassed over $250 million during their years in politics without producing any goods or services.
Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way.
Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled.
THAT is why she lost the election.
