Denial, excuses, and deflection...
As the boss wrote this morning, Democrats are mired in denial about the 2016 election. Since nothing is ever Hillary Clinton’s fault (she’s always the victim, don’t you know) they need someone or something to blame for her spectacular implosion. They’ve tried to pin it on racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, voter fraud, and the FBI, all to no avail. Nothing seems to stick. So now they seem to have settled on “Russian hackers.”
The theory is that Russia hacked the DNC, revealed information about Hillary Clinton, and that swayed the public’s opinion. To put that argument another way, “Democrats believe their candidate would have won if only voters had been given less information about her.” It would seem to me that, if you’re arguing the leaks hurt Hillary because they were factual, you’re not disproving the case that she was a horrible candidate, you’re making it.
If only less had been told about Hillary she could have won.
Correctomundo.
Every single Hillary supporter wears blinders to hide her glaring faults. How else to nominate and support such an egregious candidate?
Even so it required a strident truth teller, a Trump, to bring about her fall.
It’s the equivalent of domestic abuse...the wife or husband refuse to let go even if it kills them.
Arrogance and incompetence (and I’ll add greed of money and power as per usual) is the foundation of everything Hillary Clinton. This time it just happened to be her run for the presidency.
It’s simple. Trump ran to get jobs. Hillary ran to be the 1st woman President. Guess what the country wanted.
But liberals can never admit their own failings, so they have to blame them on someone else. That’s what children do.
The article actually describes the perfect metaphor for everything that’s wrong with our federal government these days. Too many self-described smart people thousands of miles away forcing bad policies and diktats on everyone. She would have run the government this way too. We missed a catastrophic asteroid on our country by thousands of votes.
“arrogance and incompetence”
The real Obama legacy.
Ha! ha! This gets better and better.
I love getting up every morning, KNOWING that there will be yet ANOTHER spin on this BS!!!

Her own blinders kept her from seeing that its 2016—not 1996. She was a terrible person to run for the office. That being said—in 2008 she may well have been a better president than Obama turned out. Her day had passed. My bet—she will run for another office—Governor of New York? Mayor of NYC? She will be running for office until she dies. Its in her DNA. She might even win! Maybe she will wise up after this ultimate humiliation.

Definition of a sh*thead. A brown-noser with no depth perception.
They couldn’t make the Granny Stumbles images go away, either.
The Democrats claim that “the Russians” hacked Podesta’s email and leaked embarrassing stuff - but the Russians hacked the RNC as well, and did not leak embarrassing stuff.
But when Governor Palin’s emails were hacked, the “MSM” crowdsourced the search for embarrassing insights into Gov. Palin’s tenure in office. The result? Nothing embarrassing was to be found.
It is a measure of the Democrats’ cynicism that they push the assumption that the RNC could not have run as clean an operation as Sarah Palin did. Because they know - we all know - that they didn’t.

New politico article on Clinton camp incompetence in Michigan specifically and in general
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547
Lowlights
1)SEIU union (I realize that’s like saying Jeb Bush) wanted to be working Michigan from the jump, they weren’t allowed to. When it was clear Trump was gonna win Iowa they planned to move volunteers to Michigan, they were ordered to forget it and stay in Iowa to fool Trump into continuing exert effort there. LOL
2)People asking for yard signs or literature to pass out where told there weren’t any, see that old school garbage is not scientifically proven to lead to votes. So if you were wondering why there were not too many Hillary signs, it’s cause they didn’t believe in them.
3)Donna Brazille was afraid Hillary could win win but lose the popular vote, so millions of dollars were spent to drum up turnout in Chicago and New Orleans, other than maybe helping the rats win/steal the IL Comptroller special election, this money was completely wasted. Brewster’s millions.
4)Robby Mook micromanaged everything, Campaign HQ controlled all spending and tactical decisions, forbade the DNC to even talk to people on the ground in the states, and based all decisions on their flawed election modelling.
5)Useful data that was collected by volunteers was literally ignored and thrown in the garbage.
6)Hillary’s “ground game” was pretty much only consisted of registering new voters from groups thought to be for Clinton, and efforts to turn out those groups. These groups included White male union members in the rust belt. Information that they more receptive to Trump than previously thought was ignored. So yes, the Clinton campaign inadvertently helped in encouraging turnout among people that were inclined to vote against her. LOL.
Endless stories before the election of how the Trump campaign was a disorganized joke. LOL.
you are now a certified expert in the real world of campaigns
