So it's a long shot, with one and only one possible road to recovery: Let Hillary be Hillary. Throw away the product packaging - those poll-tested small-bites of policy - and set out a big case about what she wants to do in the next four years, not what she has done for the past 35.

Let Hillary! be herself is all they have left?LOL.

[DuncanWaring]

...young Bill Clinton never would have ousted the first George Bush from the White House.

"Young" Bill Clinton didn't.

Ross Perot did.

[dforest]

Problem is. Hillary has been herself. Nobody likes her.

All she has left is to articulate her socialism.

Good luck with that Hillary.

Whips, leathers and all?

Can't wait for the next debate...

Shrum, senior strategist in the 2000 Al Gore and 2004 John Kerry presidential campaigns,

Well, he would surely know a poorly run campaign when he sees one. I'd be a little skeptical of his precsriptive fixes, though.

[xtinct]

Let Hillary be Hillary

Old... Yesterday... Marxist...

[Vaquero]

[WOSG]

Shrum - he is an EXPERT on losing campaigns. LOL.

Biggest mistake = letting Bill Clinton campaign for her.

Lots of baggage to carry around.

[Izzy Dunne]

Let's look at the tape: He worked for Ted Kennedy in 1980.

He worked for Dick Gephardt in the 1988 primaries.

He worked for "Tank" Dukakis in the 1988 finals.

He worked for Bob Kerrey in the 1992 primaries.

He worked for Al Gore in 2000.

He worked for John Kerry in 2004.

And he still has an audience...... why?

[ChocChipCookie]

If Hillary really is all that likeable, how come, after nearly two decades, no one knows that? It’s ridiculous to talk about how warm and funny she is. Now, Laura Bush really does seem warm, friendly, someone you’d like to spend time with. Hillary never did, but please! Don’t let that stop her from trying to repackage herself yet AGAIN! LOL

[SERKIT]

Shrum seems to want to give Hillary a Lewinsky here.

...often funny in private...

I'm sure Shrum has been witness to that "funny" way Hillary throws around ashtrays, lamps, and ethnic slurs in private.

Isn't Shrum on a hit political TV show called "Biggest Loser" based on all the non-successes his had as political consultant?

[aShepard]

???Schrum???

The RATS are beginning to eat their own!

[snowrip]

Let Hillary be Hillary.

I'm all for it. Let her be the Communist, America-hating, big-government, Jew-bashing, open-borders, anti-military shrill that she is. In no time at all, she'll be at .01% of the vote. But it will never come to pass, because above all Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar, unable to tell the truth about even her own name. She won't be able to let Hillary! be Hillary!, not even if she wanted to.

[moonman]

This is too funny. They will try and make Hillary more likable. As if 16 years of her fugly puss and screechy voice in the MSM wasn’t enough?

[LadyNavyVet]

“...set out a big case about what she wants to do in the next four years...”

What case? What she wants to do in the next four years is whatever will get her elected for the following four. She has a little problem with “that vision thing.”

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Another problem for Hillary is that she reminds all men of their wifes...”Take out the garbage and do it now!!”

[Wil H]

Consider the source.

Bob Shrum has headed up more losing campaigns that almost anyone in politics.

[Cicero]

So it's a long shot, with one and only one possible road to recovery: Let Hillary be Hillary.

Shrum, senior strategist in the 2000 Al Gore and 2004 John Kerry presidential campaigns

Yes, let hillary be hillary, and let shrum be shrum.

But please, do it somewhere out of sight, guys, away from the cameras and the media.

16 years of clintons in the public eye and on every magazine cover is long enough. We certainly don't need 24.

[TravisBickle]

Throw away the product packaging - those poll-tested small-bites of policy - and set out a big case about what she wants to do in the next four years, not what she has done for the past 35.

If the public really knew her plans for the next four years, she'd fall even farther behind!

Brilliant advice, Shrum.

[gridlock]

In this column, Bob Schrum is auditioning for Mark Penn’s job.

I like to tell this story because it’s so Hillary:

In the Clinton second term, friends of my wife from Utah went to the White House for a tour. Hillary came down, and the person giving the tour introduced the group to her.

“Oh,” she said, walking away, “We don’t like people from Utah.”
