PR boss Jennifer Palmieri: ‘We reduced Hillary to a female facsimile of a male president’
The Manchester Guardian ^ | May 4, 2018 | Decca Aitkenhead

If Jennifer Palmieri could turn back the clock, and make one change to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, what would it be? I can guess any number of answers when I put the question to the campaign’s communications director, but not the one she gives.

“I would have spent more time and money,” she replies without hesitation, “in Texas, Arizona and Georgia.”

Palmieri’s explanation makes perfect sense. She says they made the classic mistake of devoting their energy to the swing states of previous elections, such as Ohio, while overlooking historically safe Republican states now becoming winnable due to shifting demographics. It’s a clever answer – analytic, pragmatic, strategic; everything, in other words, we associate the Clinton campaign. What also makes it quintessentially – perhaps calamitously – Clintonesque, however, is its failure to strike any kind of emotional chord.

Palmieri was 24 when she first worked in the White House, for Bill Clinton. Under Barack Obama she became director of communications and in 2015 she joined Hillary’s campaign team. The 51-year-old has dedicated her life to the Democrats and, had about 80,000 Americans voted differently in November 2016, she would now be in the White House again. Instead, Palmieri is in London, promoting her book about what went wrong.

There is nothing colourless or dry about Dear Madam President. In person, its author is forthright, quick-witted and doesn’t mince her words. She describes Donald Trump as a dangerous, unstable, racist misogynist, looks on the verge of tears at times, and can be very funny....

She did have a face lift in 2007. How frequently can those be redone?

You lost your lying, criminal & feckless candidate was a failing heart beat north of a cadaver and the people recognized this.

hey...thanx. I didn't know that ! I know if she had too many she would have a beard. Did a search on Hillary Facelift and Ed Klein, in “Unlikeable”, says she had one in 2015...if so, she should get her money back.

Another example that leftwing marxist women are REALLY ugly...inside and out. Their face eventually manifests the evil lurking in their hearts.

These appalling hacks are also taking a two-pronged approach:

If Hillary runs again (regardless of likelihood of a run or chance of success) they want another gig.

If someone else runs, especially a woman, they want another gig.

Any candidate would be mad to touch Hillary’s cadre of ineffectual losers - Palmeiri, Cutter, Rhodes, Mook - with a barge pole but Dems aren’t known for pursuing a meritocracy.

They’re suffering group delusions on several levels but as you say the first one was and is: their candidate was sick as a dog most days and drunk/hungover the rest.

The person they claimed could lead the free world couldn’t even waddle out on election night to thank her supporters who remained until the wee hours.

Nobody, including them, believed the bollocks about ‘waiting for an accurate final count’ of the electoral votes as claimed by the reptilian John Podesta.

It’s amazing to me how resolutely blind they remain to the facts. This Palmieri chick has worked for the Clintons since the 90s and yet remains wholly ignorant. How is that possible?!

When the powers-that-be in the D party live 24/7 in an echo chamber, thats what you get. Jim Jones, David Koresh, etal would be proud of the way they gobbled up everything they were told.

Whatever happened to the Clintons' in-your-face May 24
foundation gala; tix going for $100,000 a table? Did the
grifters actually rope people in? No news reports, to date.

Had she not had advanced stage Parkinson's...

Had she not literally insulted half of the voting population by calling them "Deplorable"...

Had she not cultivated a reputation for a nasty temper over the years...

Had she not lost by an amazing 93-7 score to Bernie Sanders among NH Democrat Primary voters who chose "Honesty/Trustworthiness" as their main desired character trait in a candidate...

Had she not so obviously cheated Bernie Sanders in the Primary (turning off many loyal Democrat voters)...

Had she not cavalierly dismissed the murder of a sitting Ambassador by asking "What difference does it make?"...

Had she not had a vast laundry list of scandals built up already before running in the primary...

Had she not attacked those who accused her husband of rape...

Had she not received blatantly obvious preferential treatment by CNN in the debates...

I could go on for a long time on this list...

.... the writing style of bitter Miss Palmieri - a lot of baseless name calling - racist, sexist, misogynist......

The Clinton suck-ups consider themselves "the beautiful people" and had BIG plans for rebuilding America,
centering on decimating any of us deplorables who dared disagree with them. The "bitter isters" have nothing left.
Name-calling serves to salve their open wounds.

The Dallas office of the IRS finally began an investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings. Missing disclosures concerning foundation donations from foreign governments. Other glaring discrepancies should have triggered payment of substantial fines, penalties, and interest to government treasuries long ago. After a year and a half. Nothing has happened.

Donors to The Clinton Foundation) got lucrative Hillary/Obama State Dept arms deals.Obama got his cut.

You keep telling this to yourself, honey, and PDJT will continue to eat your lunch. These Rats are the sorest of losers. That anyone in their right mind would vote for such ignorant, evil, atheistic, murdering Rats amazes me.

A vote for Old Hill was a vote for your nasty, ex-mother-in-law.

Remember the days when trannies used to put more effort into looking like woman. That is one ugly man.

‘We reduced Hillary to a female facsimile of a male president’

The real problem is that Hillary is an alien facsimile of a human female.

She’s also nine years my junior and somehow looks twenty years older than me.
