Read an op-ed on CNN.Com, of all places.
Thought writer did a good job of putting blame where it needed to be.
Truth is - the base was always going to vote. According to her own people, there was infighting.
Told my family during campaign, Trump was everywhere. There wasnt one day where he was NOT in the news cycle.
Article says her own staff kept her boxed up. Had to minimize the amount of public appearances for Tim Walz, bc she would never be overshadowed.
Said she had to prep for days for an appearance. Says newfound 'confidence' and momentum after Trump debate evaporated. Says they nipped at each other, and campaign never got off the ground. Her confidence wained, and perhaps self esteem or what not, she fell back to these 'Democratic back patting' appearances.
Recall seeing her Cooper interview and thinking WTF?
And then there was issue of Biden. The elephant in room. Two steps forward, three steps back. Couldnt congeal far left, bc of Israel. Didnt appeal to male voters, esp new voters.
To me writing on wall was when hispanics and blacks said they were voting for a racist.
This time it wasnt really what the Dems didnt do. Its what Trump did do. He beat her ass.
