“A lot of times, Hillary would snap her fingers and go, ‘Gum.’ And Huma would fetch it.” Abedin took her duties so seriously, the source recalled, that when she learned that Clinton had once carried her own bag up a flight of stairs in her aide’s absence, Abedin nearly burst into tears.

unironically yes, she is

it's insanely cool how "it's her turn" wasn't just hubris but because she didn't actually stand for anything besides "i deserve to be president"

I can't imagine a worse takeaway than that if you campaign in a state then people will notice there's an election campaign.

it's really gross how hillary has taken advantage of huma abedin's apparently boundless capacities for loyalty, patience and forgiveness down the years

She probably would have won if someone at the beginning of the campaign told her that her character was a real question and that she needed to do everything possible to seem less like a female Nixon. I don't think she was looking for that kind of honesty.

I keep seeing all this juicy stuff, but it's only really coming from this one book. How reliable is it?

The line is from Alexis de Tocqueville, I was confused when she started saying it because I had previously only heard it from conservatives. Maybe that makes sense now I guess .

the hillary/huma thing is almost creepy once you realize how similar anthony weiner and bill clinton are in terms of their infidelity

it's like huma worshipped hillary as a hero and ended up emulating her poor taste in men

I cant actually think of any actual cspam jokes about history. Like Abuela and Its Her Turn the campaign just kept putting out ao much mockworthy material we didnt need to invent anything.

I mentioned the Abuela thing to my mexican wife jokingly after it was being made fun of on here. She didn't believe it was real until I showed her the article on Hillary's own campaign site. The look of bewilderment and disdain was pretty great.

I liked when Mitt Romney's campaign was dealt a serious blow by saying that 47% of the country would never vote for him, so Hillary in all her wisdom publicly wrote off half of Trump's supporters

I'm not saying she wasn't write that half of all Trump supporters are irredeemable shitheads and that might even be a lowball, but jesus christ of all the things to actually be honest about

Hillary Clinton’s campaign aides are aggressively pushing back against a newly released book that portrays their operation as a dysfunctional knife-fest, insisting that, despite its flaws, the campaign was focused and supportive throughout the hard-fought election.

“Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign” hit shelves on Tuesday and presents an unflinching autopsy on Clinton’s latest failed White House bid. The authors — political reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes — write about Clinton confidants angling to get campaign manager Robby Mook fired and longtime aide Huma Abedin unhelpfully targeting people who offered constructive criticism.

But Clinton’s top aides say the campaign comprised a group of people who, like their slogan said, were “Stronger Together” — even as they endured a long slog that ended in defeat.

“[T]he overarching narrative paints a picture of a campaign bogged down by infighting which as a result is paralyzed, leading to its own eventual demise,” Clinton deputy communications director Christina Reynolds wrote in a Medium post on Wednesday. “I wanted to speak out because after spending most of the campaign watching some people question the enthusiasm and our supporters, it’s hard to read a depiction of the campaign that paints a dedicated, cohesive team as mercenaries with questionable motives who lacked a loyalty to a candidate described as ‘imperial’ and removed from the campaign. That’s just not the campaign, the staff or the candidate I was in the trenches with for 18 months.”

hillary calling trump supporters racists, xenophobes, misogynists, etc. was also hilariously out of touch in a similar way and gives the appearance of elitism and snobbery much like romney.
