Joe Doesn't Know: First-Hand Thoughts and Reflections on a "Joyless" Campaign

2. I had started to read Joe's article but could not finish. I thought

it strange he would say such a nasty thing.


...............As someone who experienced living history firsthand on November 4, 2008, one would hope that Joe Biden would have a sense for the ups and downs that even successful campaigns go through. For him to categorize the entire Clinton campaign as "joyless" is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of dedicated staff and volunteers who gave up so much blood, sweat, and tears to help make history in 2016. At the very least, Biden should have seen the excitement as his own campaign events. That excitement was not created in a vacuum but was a reflection of the campaign from the top down. In Florida and across the country, Hillary Clinton inspired millions of people to get involved in the campaign from being part of her staff to volunteering to simply casting a vote for her at the ballot box. You don't run a campaign that earns the third most votes in history without bringing joy to millions and millions of people throughout the county.

And Joe Biden, of all people, should know that.
