Hillary messed up on two fronts. One, they didn't have as much oppostional research done as I thought they would. There are plenty of Trump clips and sound bites out there that would have swayed the election in her favor, yet no one really put them out, save the Billy Bush clip. And even when that came out, she didn't hit him hardly at all about it. I guess she just thought the clip would talk for itself. And second, and much more importantly, her own corruption bit her in the ass. It's the reason a nobody like Bernie Sanders gave her such a run in the primaries, when, on name alone, she should have wrapped it up quickly. And only the chance that there were scandalous emails in the Weiner case was just the last straw for many people. Sure, it turned out to be nothing, but the fact that people could see the real possibility that it was true was enough. In short, she was a horrible candidate. The fact the Reps put forth their worst is the only reason there was even a battle. Had it been Rubio or Cruz, they would have trounced her, not just finish so close. And if the Dems had actually run Biden, I have no doubt he would have wiped the floor with Trump. |
She made bad assumptions. One was that she didn't need to rally her base. She started going after red states instead of making sure she kept michigan, wisconsin and minnesota. She should have been out every day rallying instead of fund raising. She didn't think about the needs of the people instead of pointing at the opposition saying 'those guys are bad!' She didn't emphasize how her plans would affect regular people. She tried to keep the Obama coalition but she isn't Obama. And she didn't emphasize economy. That should have been first and foremost on her plan.
