The candidate herself couldn’t settle on a message for why she wanted to run, and argued with staff over whether she should apologize for her email server scandal. And even in the most pivotal days of her campaign, Clinton didn’t seem to understand the mood of the country.<br /><br />“She’s partway through the primaries already and she’s saying, ‘I don’t understand what this populist uprising is,’” says Allen. He and Parnes were “dumbstruck” when sources first told them this, long before Election Day.<br />----<br />https://www.amazon.com/Shattered-Inside-Hillary-Clintons-Campaign/dp/0553447084<br /><br />Yes, Trump understood the mood of the country, or at least part of it. People need scapegoats to feel better about themselves, and Trump provided them in spades. If you wanted to punch down, you support Trump. Sander's Punching-up populism might have beaten Trump, but who believed a Democratic Socialist could take on a Republican congress and do anything but flounder? Strangely Corporate Democrat Clinton might have actually worked better with congressional Republicans than Trump does, although we'd still be short one justice.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-72407513422621378902017-08-25T06:07:02.955-07:002017-08-25T06:07:02.955-07:00Always the victim.

Aside from the part where , yes, she walked in front of his lectern, it later appeared at first that he was dogging her closely across the stage but that was simply the effect of the camera angle which foreshortened the distance. When the camera took a wider angle of the same moments, it was clear he was at a distance. Some of the after-reporting, however, based on the first angles, reported that he dogged her. So clearly she decided to pick up on the reports rather than the reality, and pwrhaps even conveniently mis-remember the event. Like she mis-remembered landing in wherever it was under fire.
