Obama rebukes Clinton for election loss: he won by going to 'every fish fry'
[UK Daily Mail] President Barack ObamaIf you like your coverage you can keep it... delivered a veiled rebuke to  Hillary Clinton... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as a crook... today for spending the summer and much of the fall taking it easy as Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... barnstormed the nation. The two-time winner Electoral College winner said he was victorious in Iowa, a mostly white state, 'not because the demographics dictated' it, but because he spent 87 days going to 'every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall. 'And the challenge for a national party is how do you dig in there and create those kinds of structures so that people have a sense of what it is that you stand for. That's 'increasingly difficult to do' through a national press strategy, he said. Conversations in the party about grassroots efforts and building a bottom up party will 'contribute to stronger outcomes in the future,' he assessed. 'And I'm optimistic that will happen.' Democrats who are 'feeling completely discouraged' by last Tuesday's election, Obama said, should remember that 'things change pretty rapidly.' 'But they don't change inevitably. They change because you work for it,' he said. 'We have to compete everywhere. We have to show up everywhere. We have to work at a grassroots level.' Posted by: Pappy 2016-11-15 |
