Clinton staff shakeup may be coming

Hillary Clinton is weighing a staff shakeup after Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, according to Politico.

Both Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, are unhappy with the direction of the campaign's messaging and digital operations and had been considering changing staff and strategy after the first four voting states.

But a source told Politico that the Clintons now want to consider such changes earlier. Clinton defeated Bernie Sanders by a razor-thin margin in last week's Iowa caucuses, but the latest polls show her trailing Sanders by double digits in New Hampshire, which will hold its primary Tuesday.

"The Clintons are not happy, and have been letting all of us know that," one Democratic official close to both Clintons told Politico. "The idea is that we need a more forward-looking message, for the primary — but also for the general election too. … There's no sense of panic, but there is an urgency to fix these problems right now."

Asked about the report on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," Clinton said she's "very confident" in her campaign team.

"I have no idea what they're talking about or who they are talking to. We're going to take stock, but it's going to be the campaign that I've got. I'm very confident in the people that I have. I'm very committed to them," Clinton said.

"We're moving into a different phase of the campaign. We're moving into a more diverse electorate," she continued. "So, of course it would be malpractice not to say, 'OK, what worked? What can we do better? What do we have to do new and different that we have to pull out?' "

She isn't likable.

Neither is Chelsea. That's why "Clinton Inc." dies with Bill.

Great going, Hill & Bill...the (sign of weakness) news of a shakeup in your staff leaks out the day before the all-important election-day ground game begins. I'm sure all the staff, volunteers and voting-supporters throughout the state got a big boost in morale from THAT news.

Impeccable sense of timing, indeed. Bernie must be thanking his lucky stars for such a last minute gift.

Might as well have the best.

The Clintons are not happy

Too bad. The schadenfreude is good.

Up until recently he had a profile on LinkedIn (with a pic) showing him in Florida running something called the “Livingstone Family Foundation”

It disappeared a few months ago.

Clinton's server, lies and dishonesty bite her big butt.

if she stonewalls and does not release the speech transcripts....it enables Republicans to paint her into a corner. This is not just a vast right-wing conspiracy that is causing her problems. She has caused herself these problems. The server is not the vast right-wing conspiracy. It's Hillary Clinton deciding she could put a server in her closet. The same with the transcripts. The same with accepting banking money in a presidential year when she knew that she was probably going to be running for President.....

She will have Bill attack Bernie as a racist. If Bill goes too far they will say he has Old timers.

The herpes simplex blister on BJ’s lip is an attractive added plus.

For a guy who isn't even 70 yet and has been pampered for the last few decades with the best healthcare money can buy, a life of leisure and every creature comfort known to man, he looks terrible.

I highly recommend firing the boss!

[cgbg]

I recommend she campaign with a broomstick.

Am I hired?

[Grampa Dave]

A bad campaign has nothing to do with the staff. If the candidate is bad, rearranging the chairs on the deck on the Titanic is not going to keep the ship from capsizing.

Bill is ordering that the guy who took care of Hillary’s server be hired to handle the “digital” operations.
