Everyone seems to have a strong opinion about why Hillary Clinton lost.
Clinton herself -- as explained in her new memoir "What Happened" -- puts blame on her campaign, the news media, former FBI director James Comey and WikiLeaks. Donald Trump tweeted this morning that "Crooked Hillary" was simply a "bad candidate."
And now Stan Greenberg, the man who served as the lead pollster for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign (and Al Gore's 2000 campaign) has written a long essay titled "How She Lost" that slams Clinton (and her campaign) for a series of messaging, tactical and broader strategic errors.
Greenberg concludes:
"For me, the most glaring examples include the Clinton campaign's over-dependence on technical analytics; its failure to run campaigns to win the battleground states; the decision to focus on the rainbow base and identity politics at the expense of the working class; and the failure to address the candidate's growing 'trust problem,' to learn from events and reposition."(continued)

>>In the wake of Clinton’s loss, the lesson most aspiring Democrats appear to have learned is that the way to win is to fully embrace the race and gender politics of the party’s activist base — and to move as far to the left as possible. In short: The prevailing wisdom among 2020 Democratic aspirants is that Clinton’s loss was the result of insufficient embrace of identity politics.
But Greenberg’s argument is the exact opposite. That in deciding to air a “breakthrough ad in Nevada in which she hugged a Dreamer” rather than an ad with “an autoworker’s daughter,” Clinton was sending a message to white working-class voters that she didn’t care about them.
But, ... but, it was her turn!
Bill wanted nothing to do with a Hilary win selfesh prick
Hillary wanted to use the slogan “It’s my turn,dammit!”
But it wouldn't fit on the t-shirt.
You gone already.
She wanted to come on five million times, just thinking the lie that America is not ready president however, she f***** up and did not win the electoral college.
And I don’t want to hear any more b******* about her book being a Tome on the details of how an election takes place and how wonderful she is.
The title of the book is literally “WTF Happened”.
Get over it
So this pollster feller is criticizing Hillary. He must be one of them secret Russian agents I’ve been reading about.
Bill wanted nothing to do with a Hilary win selfesh prick
I have heard that Bill really didn’t want Hillary to be elected.
Reasons being:
1. He would have been compelled to move in the White House with her, and pretend they are one big happy family. The fact is, they have largely led separate lives for years.
2. He would have been back in the fishbowl of the White House. His extra curricular activities, with women, and the Clinton foundation, would have been under much more scrutiny if he were the First Husband.
3. There would have been great conflict with Hillary, as Bill would feel like he’s president again, and want input into policy, go out and speak for the administration ,etc. and sometimes say and do things which Hillary would not want him to do.
If these liberal elite campaign manager/political types are so dam smart, then why couldn’t they run a campaign to get Hillary elected???
If they are so dam smart, how come they couldn’t pull it off, against an allegedly weak opponent in Trump???
That and he would just be an asterik in history ego to big for that
Stupid voice recognition....
I was not a fan of Trunp voted for him to keep her out he turned out to be way more conservative and America first than i could have hoped
And don’t forget, she has a vagina.
“His extra curricular activities, with women, and the Clinton foundation, would have been under much more scrutiny if he were the First Husband.”
It’s hard to make a medical judgment from the few photos I’ve seen, but I’d speculate that Bill has one foot inside Death’s door. I suspect he doesn’t do much of anything these days.
Likewise, the startling thing about seeing Hillary on stage is that she comes off as fairly healthy. My guess is that her medication is managed on an hourly basis.
These are two people who should simply step off the stage and let other players strut their hour. Instead, Hillary, at least, is hogging the spotlight and removing all the oxygen that some other player would need. (I have similar thoughts about McCain. It’s amazing to see him seemingly normal. One wonders how much effort that takes.)
That's a nasty rumor!
LOL!
