Current Events > Hillary has gone bonkers - blames the DNC for bad data, data director fires back

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2017/06/01/dnc-fires-back-at-hillary-n2334792

This footnote in history continues to make a mockery of herself, still blaming everyone except herself. In an interview with ReCode, she blames the DNC for having bad data. And the DNC Data Director fires back:

"Today's accusations are f***ing bull****, and I hope you understand the good you did despite that nonsense. Private mode be damned, this is too important, I'm not willing to let my people be thrown under the bus without a fight."

She has blamed the the FBI, Putin, Russians, Comey, misogyny, men, women, a bunch of other stuff, and now the DNC for bad data.

Wew lad

I love it.

She refuses to blame anyone but herself. This woman has some big-time issues, and thank god she was never the president.
---

It was her turn.

A list of all she blames for losing against the easiest opponent to win against.

She had a chance to fade into obscurity and let the Democratic party try to heal without her toxic presence but instead she pulled a perfectly Hillary move and reappeared in the public eye blaming everyone and everything for her loss except herself.

Bad data is probably the biggest reason she lost though. She was being told oh yeah we got all this shit don't worry about it and then the election came
---

She should blame the lazy liberals who didn't show up to vote. If the Democratic turnout wasn't pathetic, she'd have won easily.
---

it wasn't just bad data. their analytic model was flawed

It was literally the other way around, campaigners told her headquarters in NYC that she was losing in the Mid West, they begged HQ for support, and they blew them off saying "psh we got this".

Maybe if she decided to campaign in more battleground states or didn't just chalk up PA and WI as easy victories, maybe more people would've came out for her.

But, she got lazy.

Just like the Democratic voters.

she was told both. One from the analytic model, Ada, and another form people on the ground

The models they had say that they had these states, the press said the same thing. it drowned out others on the ground.

I read this morning she's now using the phrase "Vast Russian Conspiracy"

Same shit, different day.

Clinton drama is the worst drama. Can't believe so many people forgot what the '90s were like. A popsicle stick with a face on it would've beaten Trump. Only Hillary could mess up that bad and still have hubris about it.

Her husband was even telling her she was losing rural voters and that it could cost her the election but she just blew that off too.

until you learn from your mistakes, its an awful idea to move on.
losing to trump should be the cause of much self reflection, instead its deflection

She's senile and has brain damage lol, thank god she lost.

At least with trump we have a 100% chance of getting rid of him, with hillary had she got in she would of been treated like a saint that could do no evil regardless of what she did and we'd be stuck with her ass for 8 years.

Self-reflection should've happened right after DNC Leaks, just before the DNC Convention. Instead, they apparently thought the right thing to do was to give Lena Dunham a keynote speech where she tells Bernie supporters to "get over it" when the collusion between HRC and the DNC was exposed in the emails.

They flipped the bird to young Democrats and working class voters and laughed about it - smugly. Then they lost the easiest fucking election in the history of American politics and they're still smug about it. If that doesn't highlight a problem, I don't know what will.

How the fuck did the two absolute worst people end up being the nominees for the Democratic and Republican party?

Clinton had a lot to do in the last few weeks, cut her some slack

to be fair to the model, it wasn't wrong exactly -- PA and FL went for Trump by a larger margin than MI or WI, and winning WI and MI without winning PA or FL would have had the same end result. Trump still wins.

You know, sometimes it's hard to be mad at liberal behavior when they're just following their leaders. And their leaders message: "Never own mistakes, blame everyone and anything besides yourself for them"

Don't forget - "Basket of deplorables"

So, essentially, they all look up to the leader when they think about the right.

Well, she won the popular vote, and I'd imagine a lot of the democrats who didn't turn out to vote chose not to because Hillary kinda sucks.

Also, I think he has things backwards: voters not showing up is a failure of Hillary's, not of the voters themselves. Candidates aren't entitled to votes.

Trump is neither incompetent nor a lunatic. He's kind of eccentric, but plenty of geniuses are.

Personal accountability is for the common folk. Not someone of such class as her royal highness clinton.

Their biggest fuck up was going with Hillary over any other candidate

At a certain point it became clear something had gone horribly wrong. Celebrants’ faces turned. The modeling had been incorrect. Watching the numbers in Florida, I touched my face and realized I was crying. “Can we please go home?” I said to my boyfriend. I could tell he was having trouble breathing, and I could feel my chin breaking into hives. Another woman showed me her matching hive, hidden by fresh concealer.

At home I got in the shower and began to cry even harder. My boyfriend, who had already wept, watched me as I mumbled incoherently, clutching myself. "It wasn’t supposed to go this way. It was supposed to be her job. She worked her whole life for the job. It’s her job."

This would read as hilarious satire if I didn't know it was true

It was a classic yugioh match up where clinton was playing the most expensove meta deck but Trump played that anti meta cheap deck.
