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

Posted on 03/10/2017 7:33:54 AM PST by C19fan

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.

Makes sense, considering even she questioned why she wasn’t 50pts ahead in the polls.

He had an American message and out worked her.

The left, still, are yet to understand the solution is NOT to move more to the left...but we all know this is the only path they will take. It’s a death spiral.

Then the realization of all the leftist hacks that will seat 2 SCJ appointments.
Then to realize just how many seats they lost....
Then to consider if Trump is successful, and actually makes America great again, they are screwed for possibly for the next 16 years.
ahhhh...:).

Once again, every damned thing libs do, they think they are the smartest beings this side of the Andromeda galaxy, Without fail. It’s simply uncanny. They are so smart they burn holes in the to-do list with their insightful glare.

In an effort to hold on to power, the dems spilled out of their cauldron....the first woman president i-deer.

Just so happens, they picked the absolute worse candidate they could have chosen.

Funny funny funny....and even funnier, they don't even realize why they lost. hahaha

When asked who her enemies were, her reply was Republicans.
When asked what she thought of Trump voters, they are deplorable.
Trump had public rallies; Hillary had private fundraisers.
She slammed Trump on perceived habits; trump slammed her on her own criminal behavior.
Gee, she wonders why she lost?

Who wanted Hillary to win:

The Democrats
The GOPe
The media
Most foreign governments

and she still lost. It’s pretty incredible how bad she was.

Jeb’s was the worst.
Which is the reason The Machine was pushing for Jeb.
My dead father could have beaten Jeb.

She was already deemed the next President by the news media, so why put in more effort if it is already yours?

People still could not stand her!

She thought it was going to be handed to her simply beach she has an inney


LOL. Well, vaginal Americans did not turn out in sufficient numbers to elect her.........

Seriously, election results have to stun them. Major groups of women voted for Trump. Married women voted for Trump overall. White women voted for Trump. White women without a college education voted heavily for Trump.

And this is a credit to our women, in my opinion. They are not just going to vote for someone because she’s a woman.

I’ve heard too, that women are perceptive about other women, and critical numbers of women think that Hillary is a (fill in the blank), and this was reflected in their votes.

Women shouldn’t vote for a woman candidate just due to sex. Blacks shouldn’t vote for a black candidate just due to race. Etc. etc. We should all vote on the issues of the day, and judge candidates based on that, not on skin color or the sisterhood sticking together or other nonsense.

I think she was forced to run the type of campaign she did because of her health, unattractiveness, and her general unlikability.

She ran for President but acted like a crowned queen.

She thought she would win the states Obama won, like Florida and Michigan, and assumed that everyone hates Republicans and businessmen.

All that you said;

But IMO it became quite clear she was lying, lying, lying about her emails and I think that jarred a lot of suburban-type women. (just trying to be specific about a particular group, suburban middle-class women with kids)

Those women were of course offended by Trumps locker-room chatter but at root, they know that men blather like that. But as far as the example that was set...if indeed they settled upon their emotions as the deciding factor as to whom they would vote for; they saw a loudmouth who may have spoken crudely but who had not raped anyone and they saw (by repeated example) a diabolical liar who very clearly got people killed, didn’t give a crap about it, and was prepared at any time to do the same to anyone who got in her way. This they saw.

They saw her bump Bernie off the stage and Bernie, while ridiculous and vile to us, was rather appealing to lib middle class women.

So I think, just my opinion, that this phenom of HRC turning from pristine savior into Lucretia really penetrated their emotive thinking and flipped millions of women into at least considering Trump.

1. She didn’t advertise because she thought (correctly) that the MSM was cheerleading for her.
2. She didn’t campaign actively because a) she didn’t want to, b) she doesn’t like people, c) she is fundamentally lazy, d) she thought it was all locked up anyway and e) she was ENTITLED to be President.
3. She pi$$ed off half the country (us “Deplorables”)

Good. Keep misunderestimating Trump and missing why he won. You can read the details in "How Trump Won," BTW.

Toward the end she relied on fake polling by the bigs.

More excuses. The fact that she reminded half the country of their ex-wives from hell and has all the personality of a hemorrhoid couldn’t POSSIBLY have had anything to do with it (not to mention her politics). It’s just all... um, advertising.

(1) Sick in mind and spirit

(2) Ambivalent about presidency

(3) Jon Podestapizzawikileaks, Mookie, et al

(4) Tim Kaine

(5) DNC nightmare

1 acted as a multiplier on 4; 2 & 3 created 5. Anti-strategies like lack of Amish outreach or not going to Wisconsin fit on a smaller scale.

It's also hard to characterize something like Catholics resurgent for GOP as a Cankle fail, albeit that Podesta 'Catholic Spring' wikileak is one of the more heinous missives ever.

Somebody is going to crack and write the tell-all; maybe one of the Amish that were treated like mushrooms by her campaign.
