Fwd: Clinton Tells Her Donors It's All Putin And Comey's Fault. No, That Wasn't It At All

There is a recording out today of Hillary Clinton talking to her 
biggest donors, laying blame for her loss entirely on the shoulders 
of Putin and Comey. 

Let's break this down, shall we? 

In the first place, she is talking to her "donors." There's your 
first problem right there. Hers was always a campaign of the donors, 
by the donors and for the donors. That's exactly what the American 
people were turned off by. At no time did she actually talk to and 
connect with them. 

But more fundamentally, there was never a chance of her winning 
unless she won the popular vote by MORE than 2 1/2 million. As we 
have already pointed out, the last four presidential elections that 
Democrats have won in the electoral college were associated with a 
MINIMUM popular vote margin of about 5 million and an average of 7 
million. 

Let's take WI for example. The governor, lieutenant governor, 
attorney general and state treasurer are all Republicans, as are 5 of 
8 members of the US House, and the senators are split. By what 
delusional political consultant standard is WI to be seen as an 
inherently blue state? And she never set foot in WI to campaign after 
the primaries. 

What blue wall where? 

If you win the popular vote by a minimum of 5 million, OK then sure, 
there's your blue wall, otherwise all you have is blue tissue paper. 

So the day Clinton locked up the Democratic nomination, question 
number one, two and three should have been, "How the hell can I, the 
Democratic nominee with the highest negatives ever, win by at least 5 
million in the popular vote count?" 

She told her donors then that the general election was going to be 
close. The general election was lost right there. 

Where could all those extra votes have come from? 

At that very moment we were pleading with you to rally behind an 
initiative to tap Bernie Sanders for VP. The Clinton people shouted 
us down. The Bernie people told us to shut up. Bernie can still win 
it all they claimed, totally detached from the reality of even the 
pledged delegate count. 

But Bernie still got more than 13 million votes in the primaries. 
There's your general election victory right there, including taking 
back the Senate and bigger gains in the House. 

Just as they are doing now, the Clinton's political genius dream team 
came up with the wrong answers last July. Not only have they learned 
nothing, they are perversely determined to learn nothing. 

Clinton had a 65% negative approval rating before Putin did a thing. 
If Comey was the big problem that should have been known on July 5th 
when he called her out for being extremely careless. The "good news" 
that she was not going to be indicted did not give her a big positive 
bump. The tone deaf Kaine VP pick was more than 2 weeks later. 

She had more than 2 weeks to come up with the answer to the question, 
"How the hell do we overcome all these negatives by a WIDE margin?" 
And her answer was a corporate TPP supporter for VP? 

Are you kidding us? 

As unpopular as she was, Trump was only MARGINALLY more unpopular. 
That was not a wide margin in her favor, and a wide margin was 
mandatory. That was why she lost. 

The blame list does not stop with Putin and Comey. Also this week she 
accused President Obama of not doing enough. If Obama actually 
retained the power to substantially rally anyone, he would have 
rallied people to demand confirmation of Merrick Garland for the 
Supreme Court, and THAT would have positively impacted Hillary's 
chances by highlighting Republican disrespect and obstructionism. 

Some blame Bernie for not doing enough. Bernie never had the power to 
MAKE his supporters like her. By doing what . . . standing on stage 
next to her more? We guarantee you she did not want him standing on 
stage with her more times that he did. 

But all his 13 million votes, not just a begrudging part, would have 
been hers if she had genuinely embraced him and his supporters by 
putting him on the ticket too as VP in a display of unity. His 
popularity, the highest of any candidate, would have rubbed off on 
her big time. 

The White House was hers and she threw it away to appease her donors, 
to raise an extra 100 million dollars to burn. 

How are we so sure of this? 

We did a private outreach to the Bernie or Bust people at the time. 
What if she picks Bernie for VP, would you go for it? The answer was 
not hell no. It was, we'll consider it. 

That's called a yes. 

And tomorrow we will talk about how to reconstruct the big tent that 
was lost by people too busy condemning people on the other side of 
the tent to actually win an election.
