“Sometimes it’s OK to admit errors, you know...”
OK, I admit you’re in error.
Huh. So in your mind, a well-run campaign is:
1. One that gets spanked by 17 points
2. That the FEC found broke campaign finance laws
3. Raised $4 million and still lost big-time
4. Raised twice the amount of money as her opponent and lost big-time
5. Ends the race with over $1 million unspent (25% of funds raised)
6. Spends an inordinate amount of time defending 25+ year old stories
Wow, you have an interesting take on what’s a good campaign! She biffed it big-time. It should have been her’s to take, and she wasn’t even close.
Why do you think she lost so badly even though having twice the funds of her opponent? Why do you think she chose to not spend 1 out of 4 dollars donated to her campaign? Why did she end up fumbling simple questions about irrelevant crap that happened decades ago?
The simplest explanation: she just ran a poor campaign.
