You know, there's a lot of theories about why Brazile did her about face - book deal, angling for a fox news position, angling for a berniebro position. But, i think the better explanation, is that she just got tired of having to deal with the stupid bullshit clown show that is the Clinton club.

A type of regulation that would unironically own, penalizing corporations that don't provide the services they advertise. If you have ice cream on the menu, but one of your franchise machines are broken, the corporation, not the franchise, are charged 1 Million/day.

The idea is penalizing false advertisement and removing the legal shortcut they currently have.

Nah, if that were the case, she would have quit years ago. She like the other rats fleeing the DNC are trying to get whatever scraps they can get. Brazille won't be accepted into any kind of bernie patronage network, but she does have a book to sell....

So I procured the Donna Brazile audiobook and I am 3 hours in and you have got to listen to it. She says gently caress and drat the correct number of times and her quips are like when James Carville makes sense.

She hates Robby Mook and this fucker Brandon, who is the campaign's liaison to the DNC who acts like he loving runs the place (her words) and the way she goes after both of them with intensity and cursing and laser guided jibes is intense.

Here is an excerpt from about 2:45 minutes into the book that I am transcribing as accurately as possible:


This anecdote continues for quite a while, the short and short is, the campaign kept stubbornly using the duck and DoBRaz gets more and more pissed. Culminating in the revelation that HILLARY WANTED TO USE THE DUCK. NO ONE WOULD STAND UP TO CLINTON. DoBraz finally got through the bubble and connects the fact that the campaign has big connections to Disney money and she says "I know you all want that money so get rid of that loving duck." [that's a literal quote] it was killed in moments.

"And the next morning I was able to enjoy my breakfast with the NBA. I enjoyed it very much, in fact."


"I didn't sense much fun or loving in Brooklyn" DoBraz describing the atmosphere of Brooklyn HQ

what in the gently caress

I followed the primary and election pretty closely and I don't remember a duck whatsoever other than our resident nazi

I do, it was pretty early on and covered in the sort of "isn't that wacky" way and subsequently ignored. Sometimes you'd still see it at a Trump event tho.

a good explanation for people wondering where hillary's $1.2B went is that she had a gut on payroll who followed donald teump around in a donald duck outfit

more importantly she had people on payroll who had the time to think of that idea and implement it

who knows what other ways to piss away money they thought of

It was literally a stolen campaign strategy from Bill's campaign in the 90s, so yes, precisely.

Paid billions of dollars for campaign ideas and strategy and all they came up with was "Let's do what Bill did!"

For some reason, the fact that they didn't even bother to spray paint the box or wrap it in tin-foil makes me unreasonably irritated. Why half rear end a costume that you are aiming to get on national TV?

but they cut bill himself out of the campaign to an insane degree, presumably because he was constantly driven to say "you're all really stupid and are doing this totally wrong"

he was a more prominent feature in the 2012 campaign than 2016 which is just crazy to me.

I think part of it was him being not up to the effort of campaigning (he looked really sickly the few times we did see him), but a larger part of it was that they knew if they had him speak too much, she would look far worse by comparison in terms of charisma.

By evening the campaign said that she suffered from a combination of allergies and pneumonia. when you have two explanations, my gut tells me that one of them is a lie.

That night when I saw she'd fainted in public and tried to cover it up and lie about it I told my wife that Hillary was going to lose. (And everyone stood up and clapped.)
