Running a national media program is a job that probably demands a lot more than $120k. I'm certain Kellyanne made more than that in her 3 months with Trump.

I mean concerned citizen isn't even wrong really. Normally bigger fuckups are getting paid bigger paychecks. Crashing the world economy as a CEO pays millions, and that is a full-time position rather than seasonal. Like if you put in the comparative earning vs. incompetence, you are getting MUCH higher dividends in the banking world still. I mean poo poo, Mook's salary isn't even in the range of a regional chemical company that has been dumping poison in the river until nothing can survive in the waters. $120k is just barely at the fuckup level of a multiple mcdonalds franchise owner who has employees mow his lawn in exchange for not cutting their hours at work.

I love how the blame for losing the most winnable election is ever shifting. It's Bennenson. No, it's Kriegel. No, actually it's he fact that she just had NO TIME to get a good crew. It's actually the media ad buyers. It was Comey and Putin! It was the guys from the '08 Obama campaign that were the real fools! :abuela: ran a well-oiled machine :downs:

Probably the best laugh is how in term of popular vote share Abuela underperformed Obama's win even in the popular vote and she also managed to lose lots of safe blue states such as Wisconsin.

She also almost lost Minnesota and VA despite giving TPP loving step dad her VP pick.

I guess if you really want to look for problems, you could bring up that Obama's campaign model was custom molded to work really well with a candidate like Obama himself, who is let's face it one of the best if not the best campaigners of his generation, and as such won't work as well with the next Democrat coming down the road that isn't him. Not that that has much if any bearing on Hillary's campaign, since by all accounts they decided to ignore what made his two victories so decisive and just 2008-harder this time, with the few changes they made to her previous failed run being mostly bad, mistaken ones.

Hillary's campaign vision was basically a sad knockoff of Obama's, with a clueless uncharismatic policy wonk leader at the top.

Any good campaign should be custom molded to work well with the candidate the campaign is being run for, that is kind of an integral part of what makes a campaign good

Not surprising given the information bubble type leadership she prefers.

Can't wait until someone writes a tell all book on her failed general election campaign and all the things which went wrong.


For all his various flaws Trump was actually able to flip blue states with his rallies and more in tune messaging.

The Hillfolk remind if an egotistic neophyte programmer who insists their algorithm deserves a perfect test score because its well formatted and compiles and runs in o of n time and you telk them no, actually, I am going to fail you because it is a lovely algorithm because the assignment was to write a program that adds two numbers and your algorithm always just outputs five.

and then instead of realizing that they were wrong they start arguing that no it really is good because if you add any two single digit numbers togrther five is the most likely outcome

and you cant do anything but stare and wonder how someone so stupid got this far in life

a campaign is good if it does what you need it to do. hillarys campaign was poo poo

because they won, so everyone thinks they're legendary i mean the messaging and candidate were obviously spectacular and i think axelrod is the best in the business. but then you have decisions like "let's fill montana with field staffers," a total failure to put together a coordinated programs, issues getting payroll together in time to pay people, etc. the kind of stuff you'd expect from a slapdash program thrown together by people who didn't really think they were going to win.

i mean i get what you're saying here but in essence saying "they were bad because they lost" is useless. i mean, i suspect on some level we're talking about different things. hillary for america - the organization that exists to elect hillary clinton, separate from the candidate herself - largely hired good people and adhered to best practices in every department. it wasn't perfect by any mean, but it worked pretty well for what it was. hfa's senior staff also made a series of small strategic errors that happened to combine into one greater problem once the race became close. i think it's fair to question whether the best practices hfa adhered to as an industry standard should not be questioned, and i suspect that will be something consultants will be talking about for the next couple of years.

so if the only thing the obama campaign got right was messaging and he won twice in a big way, and hillary campaign got everything else right but stumbled on messaging and lost in a big way multiple times to "inferior" campaigns that managed to do really good messaging, one would begin to take that as an indicator of what things are actually most important in a campaign for a campaign to be considered good

These sound like minor problems compared to the poo poo show of the Clinton campaign.

You have such a clear pro-Hillary-campaign bias it's hilarious. Obamas campaign was way better than yours. And it's patently clear you don't want to admit it because of your hosed up sense of honor or whatever. :sad:

The margins in PA, MI, and WI were so thin that you could blame almost literally anyone for Hillary's loss and be correct. Macedonian teenagers, Wolf Blitzer, Caitlyn Jenner, Jimmy Fallon, Anthony Weiner, Colin Kaepernick, a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokyo... if any of these people had behaved in a different way it probably could have changed the election.

it's funny because i briefly worked for hfa and i quit before primary, partially because i hated almost every employee i worked and found it an obscenely annoying place to work at. i worked on obama's campaign and enjoyed it a lot. i really do not have a pro-hillary campaign bias. i have a hundred criticisms i could lodge against hfa, as i have done so in this thread repeatedly. but i also found it to be one of the smoothest and most professional operations i have ever seen, except for obama '12.
