Hillary: I'm tired of hearing about how nobody likes me

In a new book on the Clinton campaign, Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling, New York Times reporter-at-large Amy Chozick recalled the Democratic nominee brushing off her staff's reminders about her foundering favorability.

"A week earlier, she’d cut off Joel [Benenson] and the pollster John Anzalone, as they walked her through the almost daily reminder that half the country disliked her,” Chozick wrote, according to the Daily Beast, noting that the conversation had happened around the time of the Republican National Convention. "'You know, I am getting pretty tired of hearing about how nobody likes me,' she said."
According to Chozick, Clinton went on to wonder: "'Oh, what's the point? They're never going to like me.'"

Clinton had resigned herself to the idea that there was nothing she could do to win over voters who didn't already look favorably on her. Eventually her own campaign seemed to adjust to the same idea, arguing that Clinton could sail to victory even without high likability polling.
When donors asked Clinton's campaign headquarters how they "planned...to pull Hillary's trust numbers out of the toilet," Chozick wrote that "the answer was always the same: nothing. Podesta would explain, ‘I remember no one trusted Bill Clinton, and he won twice.'"

Trust =/= Like
No one trusted slick Willie but he was very likable. He's still very likable today.

At the end of August 2016, a Washington Post/ABC News poll emerged showing that Clinton's favorability had just hit a record low with Americans. Just 41 percent held a positive view of her, while a historic 56 percent viewed her unfavorably—the worst ratings Clinton had ever received during her decades in the public eye.
Perhaps Clinton's campaign saw little cause for panic because polling had shown Trump doing worse, with 63 percent of Americans viewing him negatively. Still, the Post explained, when the results were narrowed to include only registered voters, Clinton and her Republican opponent had almost equally bad images

The difference is Trump energized and mobilized his base while Hillary had nothing beside the 'woman' card.

Chozick said the blunder hadn't been purely accidental but was rather a reflection of what Clinton already thought about Trump supporters, lumping them into three categories, or "baskets." One basket held "Republicans who hated her" and would vote for whatever nominee the GOP put on the ballot. A second basket contained voters who felt disenchanted by the government and left behind. And the last was reserved for Trump's "deplorables," which Chozick said included those with bigoted views.

Still, Clinton knew she'd made a mistake when she referred to the latter group at a New York fundraiser just a couple of months before the November elections. Chozick said Clinton told her aides afterward, "'I really messed up.'"

Finally the truth came out. Her arrogance lost her the race thinking she was a shoe-in despite pissing people off. But at least she knew she messed up.

Hilary clinton is a hateable person...I mean, Im not even sure why I hate her but I hate her.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhh her emails?

 

[Rockapotomuss]

I finally figured the 2016 election out. Trump represents the worst type of male boss and Hillary represents the worst type of female boss. Both have unseemly levels of ambition and ridiculously low levels of character. People just chose the more direct over the more passive agressive.

Can't blame her. Power of positive thinking.

 

[mb23100]

I never understood why people hated her so much until her post election excuse tour. You lost. Go away.

I just want to point out that during and leading up to the Democratic convention, there were 2 issues I was screaming as loud as I could about. 1, Clinton was under FBI investigation. 2, she had historically low likability and trust poll numbers. Numbers that were only comparable to trumps.

This is why she lost.

I could not feel more vindicated in my opposition to Clinton. I was 100% right, and no amount of Russian scapegoating could convince me otherwise.

Hillary Clinton a less intelligent less succesful female version of Richard Nixon.

Trump for all his glaring faults was able to run a winning campaign and for that i grudgingly respect him.

Even hinting at the IDEA she’s anywhere near Prime Bill in political chops is absolutely ridiculous.

Plus, 20 years ago their talking points were closer to trumps than what Hillary ran on.

Another article on the new book
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ing-to-let-me-be-president-new-book-says.html

Hillary always broke down Trump supporters into three baskets,”

The first group was allegedly made up of Republican supporters who didn’t like Clinton and would always vote along party lines, the outlet said.

Basket No. 2 reportedly included what Clinton allegedly described as those “who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens in their lives and their futures.”

And Basket No. 3 was reportedly made up of “deplorables,” which allegedly included “the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it,” the outlet said.

3 groups: Haters, Malcontents and Deplorables. Great political insight.

In the early stages of the presidential race, Trump was reportedly not perceived by the campaign as a threat, but rather as somewhat of a competitor to rally behind

lol, fatal mistake

“An agenda for an upcoming campaign meeting sent by [Campaign Manager] Robby Mook’s office asked, ‘How do we maximize Trump?’” Chozick reportedly wrote, according to The Beast.

looks like they did a good job of that.

Hillary Clinton lamented that "they were never going to let me be president" on election night in 2016

Wow, you don't even have to have a plan or even a good idea, just wait for them to LET YOU BE president.

She Is a loser, look who she picks as her top aid.

People think trump is friends with Russia.

Clinton was milked by the Russians

This election was crazy, literally all or nothing. Either we were going to get a potential GOAT Prez or the absolute worst human being in the world. We were either going to make America great again or kill it off for good.

She lost because eight years of a Democrat almost always leads to a Republican. No special theory needed. Just the reality of a two party system.

Calling half of the electorate deplorable is quite possibly the stupidest thing you can ever do in politics.

Vote for lord of the flies 2020!

Yeah, that was one of the biggest mistakes she made. Solidified her uppity cunt status.

And that’s only half as stupid as saying


“We’re gonna put a lot of coal miners out of work”


WTF???

 

[TheComebackKid]

I'm still shocked people didn't Pokemon go to the polls for her
