New politico article on Clinton camp incompetence in Michigan specifically and in general
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547
Lowlights
1)SEIU union (I realize that’s like saying Jeb Bush) wanted to be working Michigan from the jump, they weren’t allowed to. When it was clear Trump was gonna win Iowa they planned to move volunteers to Michigan, they were ordered to forget it and stay in Iowa to fool Trump into continuing exert effort there. LOL
2)People asking for yard signs or literature to pass out where told there weren’t any, see that old school garbage is not scientifically proven to lead to votes. So if you were wondering why there were not too many Hillary signs, it’s cause they didn’t believe in them.
3)Donna Brazille was afraid Hillary could win win but lose the popular vote, so millions of dollars were spent to drum up turnout in Chicago and New Orleans, other than maybe helping the rats win/steal the IL Comptroller special election, this money was completely wasted. Brewster’s millions.
4)Robby Mook micromanaged everything, Campaign HQ controlled all spending and tactical decisions, forbade the DNC to even talk to people on the ground in the states, and based all decisions on their flawed election modelling.
5)Useful data that was collected by volunteers was literally ignored and thrown in the garbage.
6)Hillary’s “ground game” was pretty much only consisted of registering new voters from groups thought to be for Clinton, and efforts to turn out those groups. These groups included White male union members in the rust belt. Information that they more receptive to Trump than previously thought was ignored. So yes, the Clinton campaign inadvertently helped in encouraging turnout among people that were inclined to vote against her. LOL.
Endless stories before the election of how the Trump campaign was a disorganized joke. LOL.
you are now a certified expert in the real world of campaigns
Nice breakdown. Nice upgrade overall in your posts, they’re sharper, with more purpose and depth.
You’re enjoying the cleaner, crisper air at the front of the bus, aren’t you?
