As the latest batch of almost 2,000 emails from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta were just released today, I caught one email that gave a very candid view of Hillary's "negative" campaign.
This latest leaked email is from Brent Budowsky who is a political opinion writer and blogger for The Hill and The Huffington Post. The email is dated January 21, 2016, and appears to be an urgent plea for Hillary Clinton to turn around her campaign strategy. He states that Democrats are "appalled and losing confidence" in Clinton and her campaign's ability to realize this election is not going to be won by her touting her presidency as a "third term of Obama".
The subject line is "Hillary almost 100% negative", and the email describes how Clinton's campaign is in "very big trouble" and that she doesn't understand this fact, or understand why. Brent Budowsky writes very candidly, that Hillary has high negativity ratings and cannot base her campaign on status quo policies.
He also makes a jab at CNN reporter Dan Pfeiffer, who earlier this year said that this election is not a "change election", implying that voters really want more of the same, which translates to a 3rd term of Obama's policies through Hillary Clinton. These pundits must realize by now how very wrong and out of touch they are with the electorate, as this has shaped up to be the biggest change election in a generation.
Brent also makes references to Hillary's flip-flopping agenda and policies based on whatever she believes the voters are receptive to at the time, stating "she cannot be a centrist one day and a liberal the next day". This seems to go along with the statement by Obama during the primaries in 2008 when he said that Clinton will say anything to get election.
Budowsky ends the email by stating that he hopes friends of the Clinton's will speak as candidly as he has, and assures Podesta that his views are "widely shared among people who consider themselves her friends

From: brentbbi@webtv.netThis is a great look into the mindset of staunch Democrats in the media and how they really viewed the Clinton campaign, admitting that she is not a change candidate and will say whatever it necessary to get elected, regardless of if she actually believes it or not.To: john.podesta@gmail.com, roy.spence@gsdm.com

Subject: Hillary almost 100% negative
Almost every message being projected outward from her campaign is negative, and a candidate with high distrust ratings should not be doing this, and my phone has been ringing and my email box has been full with Democrats who like me who support her but who, like me, are appalled and losing confidence.
I have never seen anything like this.
This campaign is devoid of positive messages, uplifting appeal, and coherent rationale.
And bluntly, it is getting to the point where every word she utters, there are more young people and first time participants in politics who support Bernie who would not support her in a general election no matter how hard I and others try to persuade them.....and whoever persuaded her that running for Obama's third term is the way to win a general election is far removed from American politics in 2016, and if they think she can constantly shift her position they do not understand the depth of distrust of her and the damage it does.... and they do not understand in the modern communications environment she cannot be a centrist one day and a liberal the next day because images and impressions are formed and locked in far earlier than in the 1970's to 1990's.
This is a campaign that has never had a compelling rationale and now has lost its way into a sea of negativity.....the way for her to be elected is to solve the first problem, and develop some uplifting reason for voters to support her, and not to create a second problem, running a negative campaign without a positive message and vision.....
8 point programs, no matter how worthy, do not create a purpose or a rationale or an inspiration......negative politics from a candidate with high negative ratings attacking a candidate with positive high ratings is the political road to hell.
I strongly suspect she has been sold a bill of goods from Obama consultants who became Hillary consultants, but whoever is the cause, and whatever is the motive, something is horribly and terribly wrong with this campaign.....and when Dan Pfeiffer says on CNN that this is not a change election he has his head nine feet up his ass.....this is a change election, dammit, and Hillary Clinton is running as the candidate of the status quo and that is the worst possible place to be.....and her sycophantic adoration of Obamacare is absurd and totally out of touch with the reality of general election politics....
This campaign is in very, very big trouble and I see zero evidence that Hillary Clinton either understands this, or understands why....
I hope others are being as candid with you, and the Clintons, as I am. I assure you my view expressed here is very widely shared among people who consider themselves her friends.....Brent

If Hillary wins, Americans are in very big trouble.
As US Russian relationships continue to sour, Hillary wants a no fly zone in Syria. Enforcing one by force against Russians will be viewed as an act of war by Russia.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a Russian lawmaker known to be a staunch ally of Putin, said that Trump was the only person able to de-escalate dangerous tensions between Moscow and Washington
He said Americans should vote for Donald Trump as president next month or risk being dragged into a nuclear war. If they vote for Hillary, there will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.
...I see zero evidence that Hillary Clinton either understands this, or understands why....

Same thing for MSM. A landslide is coming for Trump.
FWIW, I was driving a 30 mile stretch of central PA two weeks ago and counted 20 Trump signs. I drove the same stretch again today and counted 33 Trump signs.
From January 2016 ... allot has changed in the klinton campaign since then
Trump should pound that theme home every single day.
Hillary won’t tell you this, but she will be the same as an Obama third term.
She will continue his policies on forward. Is that what you want America?
“Hillary’s campaign is so out of touch with America....”
.
That does not matter, because those who vote for her are also out of touch with their country.
btt
Does the Trump accuser work at Clinton Foundation? Hmmm. This looks real bad.
I find Hillary’s campaign to be the most negative one that I have ever seen.
She lies a lot, and demonizes Trump non-stop. She never talks about her message. I just assume that she doesn’t have one.
From https://grabien.com/story.php?id=67985 (horrible popups, avoid) via Drudge:
DONALD TRUMP, speaking Thursday (10/13/16) in West Palm Beach, Fla.:
“This is a struggle for the survival of our nation. Believe me. And this will be our last chance to save it on November 8th. Remember that. This election will determine whether we’re a nation or only — democracy but, in fact, controlled by a handful of special global interests, rigging the system, and our system is rigged. This is reality. You know it, they know it, and pretty much the whole world knows it.
“The establishment and their media neighbors wield control over this nation through means that are very well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, rapist, xenophobe, and morally deformed. They will attack you. They will slander you. They will seek to destroy your career and your family. They will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie, lie and then again they will do worse than that. They will do whatever is necessary.
“The Clintons are criminals. Remember that, they’re criminals.
[Crowd chants “Lock her up!”]
“This is well documented, and the establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover-up of widespread criminal activity at the State Department and the Clinton foundation in order to keep the Clintons in power. Never in history have we seen such a cover-up as this.”
She’s made a dog’s breakfast out of her career AND this campaign... any Hillary administration will be identical to this and worse because it will affect all of us and will take place on a massive scale!
Everyone will PAY for this... even her ‘fiends’ ... which is just the way she has conducted EVERYTHING with which she has EVER been associated.
>>A landslide is coming for Trump<<
.
I’ll pray to that.
>>A landslide is coming for Trump<<
.
Let’s pray to that.
Aha! A real bit of data showing The Rising Tide of Racism in America
Or maybe
The Rising Tide of Fascism in America (/Hillary)
They’re starting to finally pop up in my neighborhood...plus MAGA bumper stickers. No Hillary support but some signs for Aleppo.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump!
Wow. At the very least, we’ll come out of this knowing that somebody dared to tell the truth about where things are in this nation.
