Study: Hillary Clinton Ran One of the Worst Campaigns in Years
Heat Street ^ | March 8, 2017 | Ian Miles Cheong

A new study by the Wesleyan Media Project has found that the 2016 presidential campaign run by Hillary Clinton is without a doubt one of the worst-run political operations in years.

Interestingly, the directors of the study dispute the argument that “advertising doesn’t matter” in elections. Clinton’s failure to advertise in certain key states, they argue, was the biggest reason for her defeat by Donald Trump.

She is married to one of the most successful politicians in the Post-War II era yet his advice was ignored because it was mansplaining.

She assumed it was her turn. They didn’t work hard. And when she did campaign or advertise she offered nothing but the same old sh*t that people had eight years of eating.

The foundational problem with the campaign was the product the campaign was selling.

The real reason, NO MESSAGE and UNLIKEABLE.

Elect ME because I’m a woman, a mean spirited spiteful megalomaniac power hungry angry women who deserves and has a right to be elected to the most powerful office in the world - just doesn’t sell well.

It must eat at her everyday knowing she lost a rigged election all made to order for her to win, and she still lost.

I did not disagree with Bills political action, he knew how to get everybody to get something done. I disagreed with his philosophy and agenda but dang he was fun to watch and if you had fortitude, ok to listen to.

No doubt her arrogance and insider-elitist blindness didn’t help, but I am convinced her campaign style was mainly because she is gravely ill.

In the heat of the campaign, Hillary would hold only 1 or 2 public rallies per week. She took many days completely off, and relied on the vast power of government insiders, corrupt democrat party organizers, illegals, the corrupt media, and all their bough-and-paid-for crony capitalists to push her over the top.

The fact that she still lost shows there is hope for America.

Yes...but I believe the more people who saw her would make her all the less popular.

Given this information, I have a hard time understanding why some of her campaign managers are still appearing on Network and Cable News Programs to offer political comment. You would think their credibility and job prospects would be in the toilet. The other day, I saw this “Mookey Guy” on Fox News. He was smirking the whole time like he had something to be proud of. I wouldn’t give these failures the time of day more or less pay them to appear.

“Hillary Clinton is without a doubt one of the worst-run political operations in years”

They are being way to kind. Even if you disregard her criminal activities and general ineptitude.

Advertising absolutely does matter - so long as you do it where it matters.

And that’s exactly what Trump did.

Target advertising on the “purple” precincts surrounding urban areas, in states close enough that enough precincts can be pushed “red” causing the state to flip.

Hillary’s problem was that she faced the prospect of losing entire cities, so had to work & spend hard keeping blue areas blue. This vs Trump not worrying about any red states flipping blue. Trump needed to add support in key areas; Hillary fought for her life to retain her own base.

Hence the “Trump won by 79,000 votes in one state - WTF?” reaction. Indeed he did: he found flippable states, and focused on flipping flippable precincts. Hillary, instead, focused on upping votes where she already had a win - thus she “won the popular vote by 2,000,000” but did so where that extra 2M didn’t matter (CA).

The best part is that on election night she was already moving into the WH, and someone taped on her shoulder and broke the news - that must have been a truly sweet surprise.
