Jan 2016

Assuming that there were be no competition, she spent too much money on advisers, polling, haircuts, clothes, and private jet travel to big ticket fund raisers to adequately fund offices in the states leading up to Super Tuesday.

She assumed that, by securing so many union endorsements, the union members, who were not polled for their candidate preference, would GOTV in the primary states. The enthusiasm and numbers are just not there.

Endorsements and support by the wealthy is not enough to win. IMO, her support by the little people is a mile wide and an inch deep.
