Clinton campaign plagued by bickering
The Hill ^ | 4/12/17 | JONATHAN ALLEN AND AMIE PARNES

‘We Got An Ass-Chewing’

Hillary was so mad she couldn’t think straight. She was supposed to be focused on the prep session for that night’s Univision debate in Miami, but a potent mix of exhaustion and exasperation bubbled up inside.

She’d been humiliated in the Michigan primary the night before, a loss that not only robbed her of a prime opportunity to put Bernie Sanders down for good but also exposed several of her weaknesses. How could she have been left so vulnerable? She knew — or at least she thought she did. The blame belonged to her campaign team, she believed, for failing to hone her message, energize important constituencies and take care of business in getting voters to the polls. And now, Jake Sullivan, her de facto chief strategist, was giving her lip about the last answer she’d delivered in the prep session.

“That’s not very good,” Sullivan corrected.

“Really?” Hillary snapped back.

The room fell silent.

“Why don’t you do it?”

The comment was pointed and sarcastic, but she meant it. So for the next 30 minutes, there he was, pretending to be Hillary while she critiqued his performance.

It's always somebody else's fault with her. Imagine if she had become President.

She will NEVER admit that the failure was her own, she will always blame someone or something else. That is why it is her people in the media who have been pushing the “Russian collusion or hacking” excuse.

Just accept it HilLIARy: NO ONE LIKES YOU.

If you had not snagged a charming serial rapist, you’d have been nothing but middle management at the Department of Motor vehicles or something. And one of the nasty ones, at that.

What an unpleasant, nasty, irrational person this shows Hillary to be.

Can you imagine working for such a jerk?

The Establishment Media almost dragged her across the finish line.

We certainly dodged a bullet.

Go President Trump!

Even if Trump spends the remainder of his time in office doing nothing but playing solitaire, we are still way ahead of the game.

I shudder to think of the executive orders Hillary would have issued by now.

The tone of the campaign is a reflection of the shrew who was/is their candidate! I still don’t understand the loyalist to the Clintons - all
liars and thieves? What a dispicable environment they live in.

The funny thing is that I believe the biggest damage was done by her health. Geez, they were practically had a Vegas line set up for when she would fall out next. The campaign held their breath every time she went out in public.

Ahhh...the screaming dictator school of leadership. Commanding the tide to go out NOW works so well.

It’s interesting that these staffers wanted the Clintons’ approval so much that they would take this abuse without giving some back. What type of person could experience what these criminals were really like, and still want them to be President? It’s almost as if the Clintons surround themselves with very weak people. The sort who would leak damaging e-mails to get back at their abusers.

The present state of Libya was our future under this wicked witch... of the west.. A prayer of thanksgiving Dear Lord. All you President Trump whiners, complainers, purveyors of gossip from subterranean tunnels, NEVER forget, what you all would be doing under a Hillry Clinton reign of terror.

The aides stuck around for the payoff of power and influence they hoped to acquire after the election.

Reading the article just makes me more excited about the eventual election night melt down report.

Two problems plagued the Clinton campaign:

1. Hillary could NEVER successfully refute the charges from Peter Schweizer's book Clinton Cash. Indeed, the entire private email server debacle happened because Hillary wanted to hide much of the activities of the Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiative from US Government oversight.

2. Hillary's arrogance--especially her refusal to heed the advice of Paul Begala, James Carville, and her own husband, a troika that actually ran the very successful 1992 campaign--really did her in. Those three warned Hillary specifically to actually campaign in flyover country, and her refusal ended up turning off way too many voters.
