In my opinion I think Clinton surrogates need to be more disciplined and on message.
They concede too many points. At this point they need to be attack dogs!

(6,974 posts)With the exception of a very few, WHERE are the Democrats A+ surrogates?
I see a few of them like Liz, Joe, Pres. Obama, Dr. Dean, Donna Brazile, Jennifer and soon FLOTUS Michelle to name a few who are almost always on point, but I also see Jamal Simmons on a lot and he's too polite and weak to be a surrogate. Always has been the 10 plus years I've watched him. And as you mention, he concedes too many talking points to tRump surrogates to be an A+ surrogate. I'm also on the fence with David Axelrod. Not really nor have I ever been a fan of his style of being a surrogate.
I have to give credit where credit is due: Those tRump surrogates, no matter how embarrassing they are and how foolish they look, KNOW how to stay on message no matter how much of a damn lie their message is, and they don't concede talking points even when I've seen their talking points fact-checked real time on the air during an interview if they're being interviewed by the likes of Joy-Ann Reid.
By the way, Joy-Ann Reid is one of the very BEST Hillary surrogates without officially being an official Hillary surrogate.
