In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton ran a great campaign and I can prove it [View all]Exultant Democracy
(6,594 posts)Her team actually projected she would win 100% of the delegates from the cacuses at one point in time. It was in their campaign plan until the caucuses started and someone who knew how they worked decided to do their job and read the report the campaign was running on.
Lots of big guys basically working at political directors spending all their time glad handing big wigs and basically using the campaign to network for themselves and drum up more work. Meanwhile they have their mid level staffers taking care of everything. Problem is all the mid level staffers got their jobs as favors to the various high level staffers because of their connections not skills.
The only thing to be said for 2016 is that is was slightly less awful than 2008. But yeah her team failed her big time each time and she picked the team.
