Jul 2017

The people who worked for her put their hearts into it. I really wanted her to win and drove people to the polls. The problem was that the campaign didn't seem to put her where she needed to be in front of the groups of people where it would have done the most good. So I am critiquing at the strategic level, I would never express anything other than admiration and respect for anyone who was on the ground getting out the vote.

It seemed like her national campaign didn't really play to her strengths. It seemed like she ran as the third term of President Obama. That was a great thing here in Northern California, with things improving in both economic terms and societal terms... In other words a Good Thing for me and mine property values going LGBT issues gradually improving, ecological consciousness growing....

it wasn't a good strategy in areas where things were still dismal and stagnant, like where I had relatives in Indiana and Ohio... that's what I mean by 'a poor campaign'.
