For many commentators, Mrs Clinton’s defeat came as a shock, but one of her former advisors has shared insight into how Biden can avoid making the same mistakes she did in the lead up to the November election. The former Secretary of State received nearly three million more votes than Trump. But the electoral college format of the elections meant the votes Trump picked up translate into more electoral votes.
Professor James Davis of the University of St.Gallen advised Mrs Clinton’s campaign on foreign and defence policy.
He told express.co.uk: “Hillary Clinton was convinced that the Democratic Party’s “Blue Wall” especially in the Middle West would hold. Consequently, more resources were devoted to swing states. But Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin all broke for Donald Trump. The fact that Clinton had not visited Wisconsin after her nomination is indicative of how the campaign’s blind spot. Biden is unlikely to make a similar mistake. In fact, he has made Pennsylvania his campaign headquarters and has targeted campaign adds to the specific issues facing Michigan and Wisconsin.
“A second failure of the Clinton campaign was to assume that widespread antipathy toward Trump meant that American’s were not concerned about policy. So Clinton hammered on Trump’s lack of experience and weak character to make the case that he was unfit for office. Somehow her own vision for the future faded from view. Meanwhile an electorate anxious about the future saw something appealing in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. The Biden campaign cannot just make the election a debate about Trump’s character. Americans know Trump. What Biden needs to do is point to the failures of the Trump Administration’s policies and present a compelling alternative vision for the future of America.”

Drop out now???
Don’t show up in public. Don’t debate Trump. Don’t get caught on video needing the help from Secret Service to avoid falling flat on your face. Stop molesting kids.
Three million more votes than Trump, probably all in Los Angeles County. The U.S. does not elect by popular vote. Thank God for the Electoral College.
Sleepy Joe Biden is so senile and demented, he couldn’t execute two sentences let alone any strategy....
its all gonna be virtual smoke & mirrors, aided by corrupt liberal media
Lay off the booze.
Hillary carried California by about 4.4 million votes.
So when doing Simple back-of-the-envelope arithmetic here, Trump carried the other 49 states combined by about 1.4 million votes.
Yes thank God for the electoral vote. That subject has been debated many times here. I’d add my two cents and say that the electoral vote guarantees that a winning candidate will have a broad base of support in many states , and not just have a base of support in the Northeast and Pacific coast states.
And by coincidence, BLM anti-police rioting and statue vandalism has escalated in Philadelphia.
Biden will not lose like Hillary Clinton, Biden will lose like Walter Mondale.
FOAD Clinton.
Ha ha ha ha ha THIRTY FIVE POINT ENTHUSIASM GAP. ONE MILLION REQUESTS FOR TICKETS. Go way with your ideas.
Joe Biden is analogous to a spavined swayback horse. I really don’t think any “advice”, especially from a loser like Hillary Clinton’s former advisor, would make any difference. The man can barely string two coherent sentences together—he’s gonna learn new winning techniques? Only if you’re a hidebound libtard who cannot look up from their perverted agenda long enough to smell the coffee and at least vote for a viable candidate who has demonstrated he can do the job would you waste your vote on Joe Biden.
don’t be shillary??
“Biden will not lose like Hillary Clinton, Biden will lose like Walter Mondale.”
Could not agree more.
Biden will not lose like Hillary Clinton, Biden will lose like Walter Mondale.

-This country is too divided now due to demo shift to have that kind of landslide. Cali, NY, and a few other states are forever Blue and never coming back
Biden = The future of America?
The guy is off the charts senile.
The old Sex Pistols song lyrics certainly apply to Biden:
“There is no future for you.”
