The lesson of Hillary's campaign
The lesson of Hillary's campaign
If you are passionately backed by a minority of the voters, and you are equally passionately loathed by a majority of the voters, you are unlikely to be elected.
Hillary began the campaign season with a COMMITTED, EXTREMELY STRONG coterie of HATERS opposed to her for a WHOLE variety of reasons. Her campaign has reinforced all of those concerns, and introduced new ones.
What has she done to convince skeptics like me that she might be worth taking a chance on? Absolutely nothing.
If you wish to run for president, begin with the perception of your candidacy at the start. When you are like Hillary, you begin with a huge hill to climb, and then you do things, over and over, to make the hill higher. What is surprising about her failure to win?
The other thing that we have learned is that the Clinton Campaign, which is a Cult of Personality centered on the Holy Hillary, is very hard to turn off once the regular normal American voter has indicated his/her lack of interest in the Holy One, Hillary the Good, Brave and True. Although we normal non-saved democrats do not like Holy Hillary the One who will Save the World with Her Virginal Goodness, this has not penetrated to the Already Confused, The Followers of Holy Hillary. Cults of personality cause the cult members to act like lunatics, and that is certainly born out by the members of the Cult of Holy Hillary.
