Obama rebukes Clinton for election loss: he won by going to 'every fish fry'
2016-11-15
[UK Daily Mail] President Barack Obama
If 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.'

Stash of sweet Asian Sssreee-racha,
A box of mild Popeye's,
Some chile con cheese fries,
And two apple pies!" Yeah, we gotcha.

#6  Seek what was the collard comment?

#5  OOh com'on. Her strategy was as few public appearances as possible, until Bernie started making gains. Why? She is not likable. The hot sauce comment was one of the worst jingoistic, pandering, obvious comments I've ever heard. Her handlers were probably happy she didn't say colored greens.

And these History! makers who wanted a woman president no matter what, she did you a favor. How is it Legacy! when the first woman president must resign, or even dies, within a year of office due to stress?

I know, I know, we would have had a commemorative NFL game and it would have been mean old Trump's fault, but two fact would remain: she didn't have the stamina and Kaine would be president.

Barry is right, if not for just talking himself up. Trump was going through two or three cities a day, and Hillary! couldn't get through a fast food menu.

#4  Seeing as how the HRC campaign had eight times the national staffing (plus twice the cash to spend) as the Trump campaign, there was a bit more to it.

Someone actually knew how to compete in a hostile market and made better business decisions based on that knowledge.

Saved money on catering staff meals by going to those fish-frys too, I'll bet.

#1  Hard to do a lot of face time if you have 'undisclosed' medical problems, which the MSM made sure remained 'undisclosed' because they decided she must be the next president.
