(229 posts)So when we know this was successful seems illogical to attack the campaign alone.
We know there were reasons why the margin was low in particular states that had nothing to do with the campaign, so how does ignoring every one of those factors help us here? It helps those who enjoy attacking Democrats, the DNC and Hillary ( as seen in Breitbart and the GOP's glee).
The question is HOW did he win the electoral college, and the answers we've gotten show us it wasn't the campaign that was to blame, but other factors. There is a reason that so many are so incensed here, and why this does not feel right, even before the evidence started piling up about
Russia, Crosscheck and hacked counting machines.
It sounds rather hacky, and their demeanor during their interviews doesn't inspire confidence.
It does not look like they addressed the issues that affects the electoral college or even the electors, just gossip from members of the campaign who in hindsight have a lot of opinions.
I agree, we should listen to the team. I got to know a few of the organizers, and they had opinions, but I can tell you they were pissed at the people who were throwing tantrums and mouthing off to people they knew were press. They were still upset they didn't get their first choice of candidate. They were not the norm from what I saw and heard. Some of the strongest supporters of Hillary became so in the General BECAUSE they had to do so much damage control from the primaries. All that research into he facts and her actual history had an effect on them. (They are the ones hosting post card parties, pre March sign making parties, organizing rides, and dispensing campaign stickers).
I think that he nature of these gossip books is that it's hard to call out the places where it veers from he truth, given how vague the claims are, and how they can't really be fact checked.
They were going on about the number of calls between Obama and HRC, how are we going to know that info?
I'm pretty sure those involved are sifting through it, but they are also the ones calling out the B s already.
