Clinton allies panic over message (very enjoyable read alert)

Allies to Hillary Clinton say her presidential campaign's problems boil down to a fundamental problem: messaging.

On the heels of a devastating loss to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, Clinton supporters having nightmares about a repeat of her 2008 primary loss say it's time for a change.

They say Clinton has to quickly find her way out of this messaging conundrum and provide voters with a reason why they should elect the former secretary of state and first lady to the Oval Office.

"I love her but I still don't understand what her campaign is about," said one longtime supporter, who argues that the failure to find a singular message for why she should be elected president is a huge issue for Team Clinton.

Actually, in all fairness to the World's Smartest Woman, her message comes through loud and clear!

How could someone ignore her lifetime of corruption and enabler of her rapist husband? Her supporters are insane, uninformed or evil.

Uh, no.

Her presidential campaign's problems boil down to a fundamental problem: the candidate.

Why is the reason something other than what it really is?

Reminds me of the old Ted Kennedy interview from 1980. He was running for president against incumbent Jimmy Carter.

The interviewer asked Ted: "Why do you want to be president?"

Ted was stumped. Totally unable to come up with any sort of answer to a tough question like that.

What's Hillary's campaign about? No one knows.

“a singular message for why she should be elected president is a huge issue for Team Clinton”

It is a two part message.

1. She is a Clinton.

2. She is a Woman.

Those are her qualifications and reasons for running.

a fundamental problem: messaging ... Uh, no ... Her presidential campaign's problems boil down to a fundamental problem: the candidate.

Actually, you're both saying the same thing. The problem is how to lie convincingly enough to make people like the old witch! And that's not an easy task!

True, but part of her weakness as a candidate is that she has no message. Her entire campaign is here I am, vote for me.

Can someone explain to me how SANDERS can even run for the democratic nomination if he’s not a registered Democrat?

Hillary, who thinks going viral has something to do with disease, is in a bind. If she stays out of the limelight, Sanders has no opposition. So she needs more debates and more exposure. But the more people see of her, the less they like her. And she can’t rely on being “trusted” to be the best choice. Sanders pull a 95 is trust/credibility to Hillary’s 5.

Fortunately, Hillary is not in zugzwang, she has a final out — drop out. She won’t do it.

"Allies to Hillary Clinton say her presidential campaign's problems boil down to a fundamental problem: messaging."

Let me rephrase this into English: they Clinton campaign hasn't figured out a way to spin her BS into a package that fools enough people into supporting her.

I hope everyone knows there was an implied /s after my statement.

Actually,she may not have been the greatest Secretary of State in the history of the US. Some months ago, Joe Biden said John Kerry was the greatest Secretary of State in the history of the US. That must be a difficult decision for the left which one to choose.
