2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRichardson advises HRC to focus on inequality and jobs.
There are some warning signs, said former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who supports Clintons campaign. There was an economic populism dimension to the vote, which means Secretary Clinton should focus more and more on economic wage, income inequality, jobs issues, domestically rather than trade and global economics. Theres an economic anxiety in this country that weve got to address.
The Democratic candidate who prides herself on being a wonk one who embraces policy details, compared to her opponent whom she paints as a self-congratulating empty suit notably steered clear Friday of the gritty details of what Britains stunning exit from the European Union means for the economy, or for her centrist, establishment campaign.

Clinton campaign operatives distanced the problems abroad from those at home, noting that a vote on whether the U.K. left the European Union was "profoundly" different from a vote on who should serve as commander in chief of the United States.

(19,326 posts)1. I agree with Bill
One needs look no further than the Sanders campaign to see this, but judging from
the Democratic Convention platform committee's work I don't expect this is happening.

She should. But she'll let Trump own that argument. And even if she wins it'll kill any coattails she might have.

to the millions left behind after the Wall Street robbery,then I can only hope for the best. If it was not for the Sun Newspaper(owned be Ruppert Murdoch)and their lies,Britain today would still be in the EU. Now,watch how Murdoch and his Media Whore Friends,do the same thing here in the USA.
