  Did she campaign? Did she run a good campaign? Did she go into the black barber shops, like Trump did? Did she go into the McDonald’s, like Trump did? Did she go out to meet the people, like Trump did?

  She tried scaring people away from Trump and it didn’t work. They want an economy that’s doing better than this. They want jobs. They want their life to be better.

  That’s how you win elections. You tell people you know how to make their lives better. You don’t tell them the other guy is going to make their life worse. That doesn’t win an election. It never has.

    The thing is that she shouldn’t have needed to campaign. Trump is a big enough piece of work that he shouldn’t have been an option in anyones mind.

    Putins propaganda machine made him win. The guy didn’t even have a campaign program for fucks sake.

      That’s never the case. You always need to campaign.

      Not AGAINST something.

      FOR something.

  It is called democracy when you can’t force people to do what you want.
