kinda curious why all of a sudden dems are having such a hard time with digital campaigns when obama's was pretty decent

obama kept his campaign operation separate from the Dems as a whole, and most of his major campaign staffers have gone through the revolving door into various post-politics positions

for example, Obama's chief digital strategist went on to co-found a global PR firm. the Obama campaign CTO ended up as CEO of a Google-funded startup that provides digital analytics for NGOs. the Obama campaign's digital director went on to co-found a communications consulting company with two other Obama campaign alumni. the Obama digital organizing director went off to co-found a digital consulting company and an incubator for political technology startups (called Higher Ground Labs, because of loving course it is). the Obama campaign's director of digital analytics is now the CEO of a "boutique analytics firm founded by Obama campaign veterans"

and so on, and so forth. as far as I can tell, basically all of them hit the springboard into private work as soon as Obama's reelection campaign was over

The recent Chapo that went over Dan Pfeiffer's book was really telling in that regard, in which Dan admitted that the only reason he got involved with the Obama campaign / white house is because he thought it would be a good resume builder before going back to finish his graduate degree at an ivy league university

I'm pretty sure the dems are gonna double down about how everyone should just ignore the content of the emails even though there's no indication that anything was changed but instead blame Russia for letting the cat out of the bag.

It went from being an issue of one tenth of one percent to being an issue of the 25% in a matter of months. That's like a 24,900% improvement in such a short period!

these people do not get that the content of the emails being truthful is the problem. hackers just exasperated it by proving what everyone thought to be true.

what if they were told that putin has a direct, top secret hotline that can be used to communicate with the us president at any time? and that this was created by president kennedy? would they denounce kennedy as a russian spy too, or dismiss this as fake news?

This is something I still haven't seen them respond to, if they have. I think the RNC chair at the time was like "the Russians didn't write the e-mails" and all I ever saw was Donna Brazile going on TV to spin it clumsily.

one can argue that the coverage of the emails was excessive, fine, but their content was absolutely newsworthy, regardless of how unethically they were obtained and by whom. if Russia had done the opposite thing to help Hillary, there is not a chance in hell that she'd be against covering them
