Latest Wikileaks Emails: ‘Hillary Almost 100% Negative’ and ‘In Very Big Trouble’
Trump Conservative ^ | 10/13/2016

Posted on 10/13/2016 12:49:49 PM PDT by Rufus Shinra

As the latest batch of almost 2,000 emails from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta were just released today, I caught one email that gave a very candid view of Hillary's "negative" campaign.

This latest leaked email is from Brent Budowsky who is a political opinion writer and blogger for The Hill and The Huffington Post. The email is dated January 21, 2016, and appears to be an urgent plea for Hillary Clinton to turn around her campaign strategy. He states that Democrats are "appalled and losing confidence" in Clinton and her campaign's ability to realize this election is not going to be won by her touting her presidency as a "third term of Obama".

The subject line is "Hillary almost 100% negative", and the email describes how Clinton's campaign is in "very big trouble" and that she doesn't understand this fact, or understand why. Brent Budowsky writes very candidly, that Hillary has high negativity ratings and cannot base her campaign on status quo policies.

He also makes a jab at CNN reporter Dan Pfeiffer, who earlier this year said that this election is not a "change election", implying that voters really want more of the same, which translates to a 3rd term of Obama's policies through Hillary Clinton. These pundits must realize by now how very wrong and out of touch they are with the electorate, as this has shaped up to be the biggest change election in a generation.

Brent also makes references to Hillary's flip-flopping agenda and policies based on whatever she believes the voters are receptive to at the time, stating "she cannot be a centrist one day and a liberal the next day". This seems to go along with the statement by Obama during the primaries in 2008 when he said that Clinton will say anything to get election.

Budowsky ends the email by stating that he hopes friends of the Clinton's will speak as candidly as he has, and assures Podesta that his views are "widely shared among people who consider themselves her friends

A link to this email on Wikileaks can be found here.

Subject: Hillary almost 100% negative

Almost every message being projected outward from her campaign is negative, and a candidate with high distrust ratings should not be doing this, and my phone has been ringing and my email box has been full with Democrats who like me who support her but who, like me, are appalled and losing confidence.

I have never seen anything like this.

This campaign is devoid of positive messages, uplifting appeal, and coherent rationale.

And bluntly, it is getting to the point where every word she utters, there are more young people and first time participants in politics who support Bernie who would not support her in a general election no matter how hard I and others try to persuade them.....and whoever persuaded her that running for Obama's third term is the way to win a general election is far removed from American politics in 2016, and if they think she can constantly shift her position they do not understand the depth of distrust of her and the damage it does.... and they do not understand in the modern communications environment she cannot be a centrist one day and a liberal the next day because images and impressions are formed and locked in far earlier than in the 1970's to 1990's.

This is a campaign that has never had a compelling rationale and now has lost its way into a sea of negativity.....the way for her to be elected is to solve the first problem, and develop some uplifting reason for voters to support her, and not to create a second problem, running a negative campaign without a positive message and vision.....

8 point programs, no matter how worthy, do not create a purpose or a rationale or an inspiration......negative politics from a candidate with high negative ratings attacking a candidate with positive high ratings is the political road to hell.

I strongly suspect she has been sold a bill of goods from Obama consultants who became Hillary consultants, but whoever is the cause, and whatever is the motive, something is horribly and terribly wrong with this campaign.....and when Dan Pfeiffer says on CNN that this is not a change election he has his head nine feet up his ass.....this is a change election, dammit, and Hillary Clinton is running as the candidate of the status quo and that is the worst possible place to be.....and her sycophantic adoration of Obamacare is absurd and totally out of touch with the reality of general election politics....

This campaign is in very, very big trouble and I see zero evidence that Hillary Clinton either understands this, or understands why....

I hope others are being as candid with you, and the Clintons, as I am. I assure you my view expressed here is very widely shared among people who consider themselves her friends.....Brent

This is a great look into the mindset of staunch Democrats in the media and how they really viewed the Clinton campaign, admitting that she is not a change candidate and will say whatever it necessary to get elected, regardless of if she actually believes it or not.

I read about it all years ago and there was a lot of chatter on the web about what to do with their saved stuff. I think some were exporting it to Outlook.

I really don’t know as I never used WebTV.

Funny he should write that. The same thought goes through my head when I hear her speak—she is channeling stompy foot.

As for why anyone would worry about the carrier... maybe it was sent through one of the Clinton private carriers? And maybe the system ITSELF was designed to substitute “webtv” for it’s own identifier?

Well, I might have to correct myself as someone wrote me and said they still use the WebTV address and it “goes through Outlook”! Does Outlook show the WebTV addy - I don’t know!

Lol, haven’t been posting here for a year and then may have messed up. I did post to one of you about people ‘moving’ to Outlook.

It has been firmly established among Republicans and some Independents that felony clinton is a liar not to be trusted. They will not believe anything she says. Consequently all of her continuing lies must be specifically directed at her own supporters that she can still sway. Sooner or later they’re going to figure that out.

I don’t know - AFAIK, Outlook is an email program, while webtv was an internet provider service.

So with all these Wikileaks .. is there ANY question, any at all, about HRC’s classified emails having been hacked by entities unfriendly to the USA?

I don’t come here often and should have stayed in lurk mode, lol. FReeper JPG said ‘he/she’ still uses the WebTV address through Outlook so I can’t argue with that.

MSN WEBTV was a Microsoft internet provider and it DID provide the WebTV.net email. I just assumed that when WebTV shut down, the email address ‘extension’ would be gone too. Looks like I was wrong and I apologize to everyone. :)

No need to apologize - it doesn't make sense. Outlook is just an email program. The actual service provider should be in the email header. Since webtv no longer exists, how it can be on an email header is a mystery - and virtually certain evidence of tampering. The question is, therefore, who tampered with it, and why? To make up the whole email, or to hide the actual IP? It's a totally valid question.

I find it odd too. Many years ago when I had a Windows-XP computer I had Outlook Express and it was a downloaded email IN your computer. Can’t remember what the email extension was and don’t know if there is another ‘outlook’ online email. Color me confused too.

Thanks for your kind words anyway! :)

Why do idiots like this still support her then?

Likely there are primarily two reasons and in most cases both apply:

1. They feel they have something personally to gain

2. They are morally corrupt themselves and therefore see nothing inherently "wrong" with her criminality

Honestly, I think you’re right.

I thought she would be him without the Islam, with some of her own idiotic desires tossed in.

In reality, she’s all him, all move Islam on in, open borders and much more. She’s borderline psychotic.

I honestly think we could have if not a mass murderer on our hands, at the very least a person who will focus on certain groups and deny them all civil rights.

I’m not convinced she wouldn’t mass incarcerate.

MSN WEBTV stopped all service on Mon Sep 30, 2013

Question. Does @WebTV domain name still work with other Microsoft products like Outlook? Hotmail doesn't exists but all accounts migrated to Outlook but they kept the @Hotmail domain name.

Yes, it does. Coming and going, through Outlook, my addy identifies as *******@webtv.net
