2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Well I guess its time for Hillary to unleash the Kraken after BS's comment today. [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)32. Obama didn't win by counter-punching. He won by a strategy of attrition in the caucus states.
He planned to fight for every delegate in the caucus states and Hillary blew her money in the first month hoping for an immediate knockout.
Once she didn't win by knockout it was really over but the flailing. There was no counter-punching involved.

It's news to me. If it's something you'd say to a man, isn't it sexist NOT to make the same reference to a woman?

Actually no. That would be Obama. Google who won the 2008 Democratic Primary.

There was no countering involved. Countering is reactive. The strategy was adopted by Obama before

He has as much chance of kicking her butt as I have of kicking Wladimir Klitschko's butt.

Get it? Republican candidates have male butts, so you can figuratively kick them.
