2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)"The biggest mistake Clinton has made during this election season is attacking Sanders." [View all]
link to Taylor Gipple's excellent analysis on Huffington Post; excerpt:
The mainstream media almost convinced me Bernie Sanders had lost the Democratic nomination after his disappointing Super Tuesday. ... I wasnt going to vote, politics was finally at its peak of corruption and the American public just didnt care enough about its future. ... But a month later, after many blowout wins by Sanders, and multiple self-inflicting wounds by Clinton, Bernie Sanders proved me wrong. Now more than ever, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally shining through. I thought his momentum was at a halt, but Sanders out-raised Clinton in both February and March (and thats without Super Pacs).
After Sanders wins both Wisconsin and Wyoming later this week, his train is going full steam ahead into New York.... A win in Clintons adopted back yard would push the Sanders campaign over the edge in momentum and cripple any inevitable belief that assumes Clinton will be the nominee.
The biggest mistake Clinton has made during this election season is attacking Sanders. Attacking the most moral candidate weve seen in quite some time is just an awful, embarrassing blundering misstep. Its as if the Clinton camp assumes people dont have access to the internet, wont fact check her, and will believe whatever she says. Thats why she losing the under 40-age vote by a massive margin.... Look at Twitter, Facebook or Reddit, and Clinton overwhelmingly comes off like leprosy among people online. Ill say it again, I just dont see the same enthusiasm coming out of the Clinton camp.
And dont forget Clinton is under federal investigation. No one knows whats going to come of the current investigation, but the fact is she is under federal investigation! If any other candidate was placed under federal investigation, thats an automatic disqualification of being able to run for president of the United States.... Dont think for a second that there isnt still a warm, glowing light at the end of a dark tunnel that is the election process. And that light is shining brighter than ever for Bernie Sanders.

The Clinton campaign and others have been treating Sanders with kids gloves compared to the GOP

her biggest mistake was thinking she would be crowned just because she wanted it.
