DNC leaders say Clinton lost because she talked too much about Trump
Breaking 911 ^ | February 13, 2017 | 6:00 PM | James Hohmann

“We forgot to talk to people,” said Tom Perez, who was secretary of labor until last month and a finalist to be Clinton’s running-mate last summer. “I’m a big believer in data analytics, but data analytics cannot supplant good old fashioned door knocking. . . . We didn’t communicate our values to people. When Donald Trump says, ‘I’m going to bring the coal jobs back,’ we know that’s a lie. But people understand that he feels their pain. And our response was: ‘Vote for us because he’s crazy.’ I’ll stipulate to that, but that’s not a message.”

Many Democratic leaders remain in a state of denial about the lessons of the election. They have only been in the wilderness for a few weeks now, and Clinton won the popular vote. The mass protests of the past four weekends and Trump’s sagging popularity have added to their overconfidence that they’ll easily win again in 2020.

It was striking during a two-hour forum in Baltimore that not one of the 10 candidates for chair suggested the party should moderate in response to last year’s losses. Indeed, there was no substantive discussion about policy at all during the Saturday evening event. It was taken as a given that all the aspirants are committed liberals. This is a stark contrast to the ideological debates that enveloped the party following similar setbacks in 2004, 1988 or 1972. It reflects the degree to which the Bernie Sanders wing is ascendant, and Blue Dogs have left the party.

Why aren't she up by 50 POINTS ?

That should go down in history as the most pathetic, loser utterance in all of politics.

Right up there with Hitler's cry-bully whine about how the German people had let him down and weren't worthy of his greatness.

I said the same about both Cruz and Clinton. Their responses to every question involved something about Trump.

Trump, in his huge rallies, was talking TO people, not AT them.

Cruz and Clinton failed to connect with people.

Cruz always seemed too preachy in his speeches and responses. We were not looking for a Preacher-in-Chief.

Clinton was running on the same issues hubby BJ ran on in 1992. After 8 years of BJ Clinton and 8 years of Obama, apparently none of those 1992 issues were resolved by two double-term Democrat administrations, so why elect another Democrat with the intent of addressing those same 1992 issues?

Clinton lost because of who she is, her personality, her demeanor, her politics.

She’s a lousy candidate and a lousy person, that’s why she was rejected.

“We didn’t communicate our values to people. When Donald Trump says, ‘I’m going to bring the coal jobs back,’ we know that’s a lie.”

“We know that’s a lie” was the problem. They didn’t think Trump would do what he said he would do, even though he has done that for the last 30 years. They thought Trump was a fool and they already won the election. They thought that so profoundly that their candidate didn’t have to get out of bed and campaign.

What they don’t want to admit, and in the process they are willing to destroy America for it is they had a flawed candidate, a flawed strategy and a flawed ideology. And what they are doing now to cover that up is instigate a revolution. That’s what needs to get out to the people.

Sorry Tom.

Everybody knows what Clinton was about since 1992.

Obama decimated the sovereignty of the Nation with his globalist rules and regards to our borders.

Hillary never had a damn chance and neither does the DNC in 2018 or 2020.

America will not buy what you are selling. You are the party of socialists and you don’t deny it. You are the party of removing the Constitution this USA is based on.

Keep on attacking with your media. They will soon be relegated to the ash heap of history as well.

Very few of her TV ads in PA were statements of her beliefs and plans. The vast majority, on every station during every break of every newscast, were personal attacks on Trump for the old Access Hollywood tape, the attack / not-attack of the handicapped journalist, statements on women, etc.

The passage in question is not about good works. Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 13 the futility of good works for the sake of good works.

I would have to go with, "Please clap."

"Why aren't I 50 points ahead" is a good second, however.

No, Sanders would have lost worse because he would have alienated more of the middle class who didn’t particularly trust Trump.

There is no scenario in which any Dem beat Trump last year.

As I showed in my Breitbart column (republished here), Trump was a mere 510,000 votes from SEVEN more states totaling 51 more electoral votes. IOW, he was close to a massive blowout.

So to resolve that the Democrats have done nothing but talk about Trump for 2 and a half more months. Well done guys!

Good point. But here's why I think Hillary's "50 points" quote is far more pathetic:

When Jeb Bush uttered his stupid request, he was only expecting a little applause.

Hillary revealed that she was expecting an enormous, thumping, overwhelming landslide of historic proportions, the largest political victory in the history of the United States.

If she had said "why aren't I up by 10 points," that would have been reasonable. But she expected to be up by 50 points, similar to what dictators in banana republics get.

So she was pathetic and stupid for saying it out loud, in public, and she was pathetic and deranged for thinking such a thing was realistic.

And she was pathetic and a megalomaniacal nut-job for thinking she deserved such an outcome.

She expected to beat Trump by a margin roughly ten times that which Obama won by.

She is a scumbag lawyer who got the medical evidence withheld in a child rape case. Once all the rape kit evidence was hidden from the jury, she then preceded to create a possibility in the minds of the jury that the twelve year old (whom medical evidence showed had been a virgin) was a promiscuous slit chasing after men her father’s age.

Typical behavior for her.

Billary, Inc., Obama and the DNC keep finding every excuse they can for why Billary, Inc. lost, minus the only reason that meets reality - because Billary, Inc. was correctly identified by the voters as Billary, Inc. - a corrupt, geopolitical influence peddling personal enterprise using and abusing public office for personal power and private gain.

Hillary Clinton lost because she is Hillary Clinton.

In her only two competitive elections she’s ever been in, she went from inevitable to loser, then from even more inevitable to having to cheat Sanders through straight up industrial scale election fraud, as documented by the DNC leaks and others.

She made an attempt to strong-arm her way into the Presidency, where she’d be in the position to sell us out to the tune of tens of trillions, and the overwhelming feeling of the American people was that it was not smart to give her power.

Personally I think the “four minutes to nuclear launch” debate exchange is where she went from favorite to underdog in reality. It was super creepy and disturbing on a deep, deep level.

Are these DNC Chair wannabes in denial? Or do they parrot stupidities because the people who choose the Chair are still in denial?

Does any contender to lead the DNC have the honesty to say:
Hillary was the wrong candidate?
