The Democratic Party is for social AND economic justice. It isn't an "either/or" situation!

30. The campaign gambled, and the campaign lost....

I don't believe that SOS Clinton was the one making these decisions, but she empowered and hired the people that did. Spending money and time in solidly red states or solidly blue states that could have been better spent in important, must win swing states.

As I stated in another thread, I am in deep, deep blue NJ and I saw ad after ad after ad, and had my door knocked on countless times and received countless phone calls. My parents are Dems in PA and they received next to none of it (although there were some last minute ad buys that were decent but I think by then it was too late).

The campaign made too big an assumption that she was going to win many of the former swing states that Obama won, despite it being a different time, a different political environment, and against a radically different opponent.

My biggest fear with the Clinton campaign was not the candidate herself. It was her history of empowering and hiring the wrong people. People who themselves seem to live in a bubble and try to draw the candidate herself into that bubble. People afraid to tell Ms. Clinton what she needs to hear even if it's uncomfortable. And I'm afraid that is what happened. They believed their own hype. And now we are all paying the price for it.
