>>She’s been running for four years.<<

Funny, I missed the declaration. When was that?

>>If you want the same old result, go with the same old strategy.<<

So not running to run is some sort of “strategy?” Pissing off your supporters is a strategy? Playing coy is a “strategy?”

>>BTW, how many successful Presidential campaigns have you advised in an official capacity?<<

Well, Reagan used to call me when he was Governor but they tapered off just before the Presidential run.. (/sarc — unless you lie, I have as many under my belt as you and my opinion is as valid as yours — and mine holds together given the FACTS of the race to this moment. Yours is just fantasy wishing, since you can’t say how fsustrating your base accomplishes anything useful).

Believe it or not, people who win actually do strategize. I take it that you are unfamiliar with the concept, so my bet is you spend a lot of time losing.


"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu

18. All warfare is based on deception.

19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
and crush him.

21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.
If he is in superior strength, evade him.

22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to
irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
If his forces are united, separate them.

24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where
you are not expected.

25. These military devices, leading to victory,
must not be divulged beforehand.
