I will blame Comey forever.he's talking like Hillary should have seen Comey's letter coming.

is something that deserves some introspection."

Yes.

should know that.

There were a lot of egregious confluences that worked very hard to make sure the pervert was rigged in.

The Russian hacking, the m$m, 3rd party LIARS, and Voter Suppression.

enough resources into the likes of Michigan.

then tell us you're not speaking the truth here. Or we'll let the truth speak for itself.

wanted Hillary to win from the very beginning, I'm quite comfortable with what I wrote. The last 7 days she poured money into Michigan, which may actually have narrowed Trump's win there.

It's very clear now why tRump fought so hard to stop the recounts

indeed.

Wonder why, as Senior Advisor to President, and campaign head, Axelrod wasn't able to foresee the rise of the Tea Party and the loss of over 1000 Democratic seats or do anything about it.

I don't know whether Axelrod is still working, through his company ASK, or in another capacity on messaging or astroturfing for mega corporations.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2008-03-14/the-secret-side-of-david-axelrodbusinessweek-business-news-stock-market-and-financial-advice

Without disclosure requirements for talking head commentators it is hard to know whether such commentators on politics are seeking from the heart, or messaging for money.

that the "poorly educated" have a running start over the "elites;" the "elites" being those liberals who live on "the coasts" and don't vote against their own interests. I know that the results of the 2016 election were more complicated than that, but I feel that Trump should have been stopped in the primaries, regardless of my personal distaste for the rest of the Republican field (especially Cruz), which were at least, not so obviously unhinged. Critical thinking skills regarding the Trump rhetoric and a thorough look at Trump's background and reputation should have stopped Trump voters in their tracks. Then again, most are still loyal to him, so go figure.. It doesn't say very much for them. ("Please, Sir,can I have another?&quot

Could also be a headline accompanying this video.

I hear her saying SHE is responsible and made a lot of mistakes. The fact that she says that the events in the last couple of weeks are ultimately the nail in the coffin of her loss is just acknowledging a truth, IMO. She is correct in that.

Look, she ALMOST won. She won the popular vote. She would have won, but for the Comey announcement near the election. The October surprise.

Should she have had a more comfortable lead, so the lost votes due to Comey wouldn't have cost her the election? Yes....and she totally takes the blame for that.

Axelrod is also wrong saying that it takes a lot of work to lose to Trump. That's not true. Because of the sentiment in the country at the time (and in Great Britain - the Brexit vote)....there was a fever and excitement about Trump. His being a populist and a non-politician. 17 established Republicans, most of whom were liked in their party and experienced and respected politicians, all lost to Trump.

Axelrod also criticizes this "the parties keep going back to the election." Yes, and they and the entire Democratic Party should. It should be analyzed, and all the mistakes acknowledged, so they aren't repeated.

Axelrod also says she didn't take full responsibility for the server. I was watching the debates and saw and heard her do just that. She clearly said it was a mistake on her part.

What Clinton didn't do, that I heard, was acknowledge the wrongdoing in her party giving favoritism to her over Sanders, and in accepting a debate question unethically sent to her from Donna Brazille. That may be in her book, but I haven't heard her address this. And Schulz, the wrongdoer, is still in a key position in the Dem Party, isn't she? These things hurt her votes, when they came to light.

Axelrod is way off base here, IMO. The only question is why. Why diss Clinton? Why does he view her statements in a light most unfavorable to her?

re. Trump's win, and Hillary isn't helping right now on that front.

That is merely an acknowledgement of truth. We are all aware of the importance of the October Surprise in a presidential election. It happened to John Kerry, with a video by Osama bin Laden, too.

The timing of any surprise near the election has a direct and critical impact on the voting for the election.

We all know the importance of the Comey October Surprise without her even saying it. SHE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED SHE MADE MISTAKES. She is not playing the victim.

Wonder why he is falsely stating what she said?

axelrod who isn't "helping now" with his selective memory.

Speaking of "Ripped".. here's Axe getting it..

John Legend Shuts Down David Axelrod For Saying Trump Isn’t Racist

http://www.mediaite.com/online/john-legend-shuts-down-david-axelrod-for-saying-trump-isnt-racist/

Idiot gives trump cover and "rips" Hillary. fucked up priorities.

. . . is that a race against, of all people, Donald Trump, should never have been so close that an action like Comey's, while it certainly was likely to influence some voters, should never have been the kind of thing that could tip the balance in Trump's favor. And I happen to agree with him on that point.

here..

John Legend Shuts Down David Axelrod For Saying Trump Isn’t Racist

http://www.mediaite.com/online/john-legend-shuts-down-david-axelrod-for-saying-trump-isnt-racist/

fDemocrats have lost over 1,000 legislative seats across the country in the last ten years, Republicans control all three branches of government, Republicans hold 2/3 of the governships, and are one state legislature away from being able to call a constgitutional convention. But the party establishment has nothing to learn from anybody about anything . . .

blah blah.

This thread is about Axelrod stating a falsehood. He said that Clinton blames the October Surprise for her loss.

That is false. She did not say that. She said she blamed HERSELF MAINLY for her mistakes, but that it's clear that the October Surprise played a part.

This has nothing to do election strategy. It has to do with misstating what someone said.

Either she said what Axelrod said she said, or she didn't. She did not. That's an objective thing, you know. Axelrod was wrong.

Besides what she said...and no matter what she said, it is well known that October Surprise events are planned by the opposition, and that they DO have an impact on elections. No one needs to tell anyone that an October Surprise had an effect on a Presidential election; it's well known (and common sense) that it does.

That has nothing to do with what he has done for a living in the past.

She clearly said she takes responsibility for her mistakes that lead to the result, but that she thinks (and many others think) that clearly the October Surprise by Comey played a part. There were clearly people who were going to vote for her, but because of Comey's October Surprise had doubts at the last minute, and did not vote for her.

It couldn't be clearer. Axelrod is wrong to say that she blamed Comey, implying that she was saying that was THE reason she lost. She flatly did NOT say that or imply that.

He didn't pay attention to what she said, or he's projecting onto her what he thinks she really thinks. In either case, that is simply not what she said. And that's just a fact.

missed out on hundreds of thousands of votes (in blue states even) so she was actually cheated BIG TIME out of her presidency. Axelrod, STFU!! Your backwards thinking is not helping at all so stop beating that horse, it's dead.

David is the reason OFA was kept in place after the 2008 election. The OFA destroyed the DNC. Not having a party structure (the 50 state solution) for 8 years is why we lost state legislatures, governors seats, federal house and senate seats and the white house this year.

David doesn't want you to talk about that so he wants you to blame Hillary for everything.

Fuck David.

ETA: I had not thought about it until now but David has been a jerk every since he got his job at CNN. Makes me wonder if he was fired from the WH and did not want to go.

then ignored the ensuing loss of 1000+ Democratic seats to Republicans.

who were supposed to be the balace except they didn't support clinton in the same way. and seemed to think they were too cool and tried to be "fair" and above it all.

He doesn't Rip her! He just points out suggestions and the clip played by the host shows that Clinton takes responsibility but her defeat was a combination of what they did wrong and Comey's letter and Wikileaks release of emails. That is undeniable!

willfully ignoring the reality of what just happened.

Actually it was a number of egregious confluences that worked very hard at rigging the pervert in.

Thanks for reminding me about Axelrod's insisting trump isn't racist.. I had forgotten that.

...first being that, while Trump was elected, Hillary won the vote - and with a substantial total.

Battlegrounds i.e. FL, NC, PA, OH, MI, WI...she won fewer electoral votes than any Dem since Dukakis. She campaigned in PA 12 times and still lost. She lost states that had been blue since the 1980s. She blew off MI and WI. She got a quarter million less votes in WI than Obama and 50k less votes in Detroit.

Axelrod didn't rip her; that's the video clip headline. He's just reminding people there was a lot more to this result than Comey and Russia. He's clearly right.

I'm tired of the "She didn't campaign there" deceptions.
