Hillary's Toxic and Failed Campaign

Hillary lost because her campaign was out of control. 
The Atlantic, alas, has a look at her dismal campaign. Imagine her crew running the country?
The after-battle assessments in the major newspapers and newsweeklies generally agreed on the big picture: the campaign was not prepared for a lengthy fight; it had an insufficient delegate operation; it squandered vast sums of money; and the candidate herself evinced a paralyzing schizophrenia—one day a shots-’n’-beers brawler, the next a Hallmark Channel mom. Through it all, her staff feuded and bickered, while her husband distracted. But as a journalistic exercise, the “campaign obit” is inherently flawed, reflecting the viewpoints of those closest to the press rather than empirical truth.

How did things look on the inside, as they unraveled?

The Clinton Memos
Hillary, Bill Clinton, her aides and diehard supporters (PUMAs) need to be shut down. This isn't about sexism. This is about denial, sabotage.
 
Her supporters have an ad out that's far from Unity. They still think they have 18 million voters who aren't going to vote for Obama.

Most of Hillary's supporters now support Obama, according to a Lifetime survey. The only people out for Hillary now are in denial.
