He might be right about a lot of things, but identity politics is nothimg more than bigot code

You can go now Mr. Greenberg

Yet another man with a negative view of HRC and what she should/shouldn't have done. Was this article necessary, what purpose did it actually serve now that we've heard over and over how wrong she was, what a terrible campaign she ran, because don't you know a man never lost an election for president, and certainly not with 3 million more popular votes.

Mansplaining and, at best, sexist.

So dwelling on the other 10% is beyond pointless. We have to address the media problem and not get distracted by simply hoping for a "better candidate" running a "better campaign".

You know what makes a better candidate running a better campaign? Better media coverage.

They assumed she was a shoe in and wanted to make it more of a horse race. They manipulated perceptions and let too many lies just sit there unexamined. Huge failures.
Whe. They do it again, they must be called out.

Voter suppression and other electoral ratfuckery accounts for a significant part of it, too. We are slowly finding out just how bad it all really was. And, it wasn't just Hillary who got screwed. So did people like Russ Feingold.

What I was trying to emphasize was that the elements within the sole control of the candidate accounted for very little of the reasons she lost.

That conclusion requires the assumption that the game is fair, which it most definitely is not.

by literally all sides and couldn't respond so as not to upset people. Endless insults in the name of "issues" were allowed to perpetuate and the media never challenged the craven lies about her.

in 2018 and 2020. And this is how he hopes to pass up others in his field -- by pretending Hill lost (not the Democratic Party -- just her)) not because our election systems have been infiltrated and corrupted but because she didn't hire him and follow his advice.

Not because the huge forces that operated, often clandestinely, unethically and illegally, against her included

* The GOP, of course.
* Very widespread vote suppression and election corruption, frequently directed by state governments and condoned by corrupt judges.
* The enormous, extremely well organized machines developed by archconservative megamillionaires/billionaires.
* The right wing media machine, much of it financed as needed by above.
* Social media compliance with seditious and cyberwar activities on their sites, including Facebook and Google.
* Russia engaged in state-level cyber warfare.
* Elements of the FBI, who knew they and Russia were playing on the same team in this one.
* Far from least, most of the MSM, including the AP, whom democracy itself depends on an dwho we now know were actively and heavily engaged in transferring national and state power to conservatives.

Bet he has no idea, either that Cambridge Analytica, owned and developed specifically to use this election to seize power away from the undeserving "people" by American billionaire Robert Spencer, was involved in the relection of the president of Kenya, whose election has been nullified by Kenya's supreme court due to a wide range of irregularities, including hacking election servers and manipulation of personal voter data.

Yup, it's all about how Hill should have made yet another trip to Wisconsin, etc. So obvious. What a dumb blonde.

How DARE he?! Piss on him and all who sing his song.

by Trump. They'd be talking about his lack of specifics on policy, his belittling his opponents and how unbecoming that was. His lack of knowledge on running a national campaign, his failure to hire an experienced campaign staff instead of relying on his inexperienced real estate business staff, etc. As the saying goes, "victory has a thousand fathers, failure is an orphan."

When she was ahead in all the polls leading into the final stretch, in spite of every low down thing Trump was pulling, i.e.the name calling, the lies about her medical condition, the women of Bill Clinton etc; Comey's interference, Rudy Guiliani's plotting with current and former members of the FBI to force Comey to bring an indictment , Comey's struggles with Comey, the Bernie Sanders Bros trying to hijack the party, Wikileaks and the Russians hacking of the DNC, etc, etc, etc, we'd be calling her campaign brilliant.

Female candidates for high office need to outwork their opponent by 100%, be prepared to handle criticism even when it is unfair, and campaign everywhere, be in the voters faces on the ground until they see her in their sleep.

Bill Clinton in New Hampshire in 1992 primary was a good example. He had the pants problem and had done poorly in earlier contests. If he finished badly in New Hampshire, his campaign was done. He campaigned his ass off all over the state, going to even small gatherings, doing many events a day. On primary voting day, he was out in the rain stopping cars to talk to anyone who would talk to him in hopes of turning the last minute voter his way or getting the man or woman who was not going to vote to vote for him. He finished a strong second and the rest is history.

Hillary and Bill seem different to me. Bill Clinton seems willing to go anywhere to talk to anyone, regardless of the size of the crowd. Hillary seemed uncomfortable with ground level politics, walking a street at dinner time to ring doorbells. The last thing is something Bill Clinton and Barack Obama excelled at and Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and Al Gore did not. When a person faces a Donald Trump or GW Bush and their lies, the person need to get face to face with as many voters as possible so those voters can see the cabdidate's humanity.

They both lost to Bush. Did he write a long essay "slamming them (and their campaigns) for a series of messaging, tactical, and broader strategic errors"? Just wondering.

So, he can go to hell.
