For Hillary Clinton’s chief strategists, the unique challenge of addressing working-class and white rural frustrations while cheerleading the Obama economy proved too difficult a riddle, and they chose in the end to focus their efforts elsewhere, much to Bill Clinton’s reported protestation.
The former president saw early during the Democratic primary that his wife had a real problem connecting with these voters, many of whom overwhelmingly preferred Sanders message on jobs and trade.
Bill Clinton reportedly warned the campaign that they needed to address the issue immediately, but “his advice fell on deaf ears.”
Team Hillary preferred to listen to her gay hipster Millenial campaign manager, Robby Mook, who according to his Wiki bio is a lifelong party hack with no experience in the real world.
“Hillary Clinton’s 36 year old campaign manager, Robby Mook, dismissed the advice of the 70 year old former president as the ravings of an aged athlete desperate to regain his former glory, and insisted instead that young, Latino and black voters were the key to winning 2016.’
Bill is a much better liar politician than Hillary. Also, she’s been riding his coat-tails her entire career, and now she decides to ditch his advice? Dumb move.
Also, no man over the age of eight should be going by the name “Robby” unless he’s a blues musician.
Rather than listen to people, the Hillary Campaign was in thrall to a complex algorithm called Ada, that the campaign relied on completely for determining where to put add and GOTV resources, and where to haul Hillary for campaign appearances. Ada told them Wisconsin was in the bag, so Hillary ignored the state completely. It not only went for Trump, it also re-elected Republican Senator Ron Jonson over left-wing icon Russ Feingold. Ada did tell them that Michigan and Pennsylvanian were “on the bubble,” but it couldn’t tell them what they didn’t want to hear: Voters cared more about jobs and economic security than gun control, climate change, and transgender bathrooms.
THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN IN ONE SENTENCE: “One source said a staffer in Brooklyn was dedicated to rural outreach.”
I think to a Democrat Brooklyn Hipster, “Rural” means “Suffolk County in Long Island.”
Probably did his research by hanging out at organic markets.

Technology has proven to be the downfall of Mrs. Clinton.
She should have listened to Bill. I am glad she didn’t.
If there were one statement to which the Clinton campaign could be reduced, it is, for myself, the meme that Trump voters planned to vote against their own interests. This was repeated endlessly and it crystallizes the arrogance and deliberate dehumanizing of real peoples’ views and agency. This goes beyond othering; I guess it’s much easier to hate someone when you view them as an ‘it’ rather than a ‘them.’
Other than maybe Divine intervention, which she would reject as a factor, I wonder why she didn’t listen to Bill? He has long, long been known as one of the best ever at connecting with people, at least on the one-to-one level, which is pretty powerful.
Of course, once she decided to hammer Trump on his crude comments, she eliminated Bill as a factor that could help her. Maybe her desire for revenge on Bill’s playing around and embarrassing her was not taking his advice? Bad decision for her, good for the rest of us.
I felt a hint of sympathy for Algore as a person when he lost the election as he had been raised by his very Southern father to become President. (On policies I am very pleased he did not win.) But for Hildabeast, not even a hint of a tinge of the possibility for sympathy. Too many crimes, or at least playing at the edge of crimes, and too much tearing others down by insults.
Imagine the Clintons’ home life, these days.
His titanic “I told you so”. Or perhaps, his titanic struggle not to say it?
Most “I told you so” mistakes between spouses don’t change the course of nations and cause masses of lefties to call suicide hotlines.
^ And yet, just like the ones who always “threaten” to leave us should the ‘R’ win, and who never do, “threatening” to kill themselves is all the more dramatic set ever do.
Has anyone seen Bill since the election? As a concerned Christian conservative, I am concerned….

I’ll bet you a Coke that, although it might involve Pence in pay-for-play, it won’t involve Pence in the (likely-treasonous) exposure of thousands of U.S. Classified documents to foreign hackers and/or governments.
In other words, the problem is not that Hillary did illegal things. It’s that she got caught.

You must not have been keeping up with what was on Wiener’s 650,000 Clinton Huma emails. If Obama doesn’t pardon the Clintons they will either die or be in jail for both of them with little Haitian girls on Epstein island.
I know how this blog believes in speaking against corruption on both sides.
