Clinton adviser says Biden campaign ‘doing it all wrong’
The Hill ^ | 05/12/2024 | Nick Robertson

A longtime senior adviser to former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hit the Biden campaign over its strategy in a New York Times op-ed Sunday, arguing the president is siding too much with his base and leaving moderates behind.

Mark Penn, who served as an adviser to the Clintons from 1995 to 2008 and now runs the Harris Poll, said focusing on the left wing of the Democratic Party instead of independent voters could cost him in November.

“If Mr. Biden wants to serve another four years, he has to stop being dragged to the left and chart a different course closer to the center that appeals to those voters who favor bipartisan compromises to our core issues, fiscal discipline and a strong America,” Penn wrote in the op-ed.

I never would have dreamed this country would ever elect someone as venal, corrupt and cringe worthy as Joe Biden...

In fact, I still fully believe they didn’t.

Makes me think that the steal is planned once again.

To which I would add that it’s not a good idea to tell the voters you know better than they the effect of your economic policies on their wallets

Nominating a vegetable isn’t doing it right? Who knew? Can’t get anything by Bill Clinton, who also looks like a corpse.

She doesn’t understand; we are in a post voter Democracy. They don’t need actual voters, they just need to print ballots. Why won’t they just do it all again?

In 2012, Obama campaigned almost exclusively to a patchwork of special-interest groups that often had conflicting goals, aside from their general alignment with the far left. I don't recall any particular "shift to the center" to go after moderates.

But then, I suspect there was a certain amount of vote fraud in play back then, too. Weak candidates like Mitt make it so easy to hide.

"Clinton adviser says Biden campaign ‘doing it all wrong’"

...... LOL ..... These amazing Brain-Trusts all said the same thing last time ..... And look how it turned out ..... If it DOESN'T Go the way they want .... All they have to do is CHEAT to WIN!!!!

..... In the meantime Republicans are staring at polls instead of actually getting out and campaigning with EVERYTHING THEY HAVE for our caged President.

.... While we all still wait for an actual massive nationwide campaign to begin.

Bill knows politics and he KNOWS Biden is in serious trouble.
Our upside is Hillary does NOT know politics and will probably make it worse.

Bill Clinton had to get the votes of the independents. So he had to act like a politician and "listen" to them.

That's not necessary with Biden.

Looking back, it is remarkable that Bill Clinton survived the Monica affair. He got caught red handed. The vast left wing conspiracy rallied to save him.

Too late, to the point where my liberal dad has had it with the Democrats.
