Hillary's biggest campaign mistake, IMHO

Should have flooded FB, tv, etc with adds covering the foundation rating and what it had accomplished.

One of her PACs should have taken this on to avoid any issues with spending charity cash. She continued to allow others to frame the narrative.

Pictures speak louder than words. The PAC could have produced slick television spots including interviews with those benefited by her charity. Perhaps even a documentary that would appear in the September time frame.

She should have also made available whoever was involved with the finances in a question and answer period with the press including follow up of any questions that could not be answered at the time.

The Foundations charity were foreigners, women and children, and that her audience would hate her for THAT. Ugh. Her audience is truckers.

By the general election, it was pretty much "truth" that even Democrats questioned her Foundation. In fact, they were spreading BS about Clinton funneling foreign money for favors. At that point, there was no way to counter when Trump was merely repeating what Democrats who opposed Clinton had said.

That's what ticks me off royally.

Usually, in politics, people form opinions and then accept the facts that confirm them and reject the facts that don't. The Clinton Foundation myths merely re-enforced the preconceived notion that the Clinton's were scheming opportunists. Even if one could debunk the myths, they'd just focus on something else.

the Republicans would have been screaming how she was promoting her business and trying to solicit donations to enrich herself because the whole thing was a scam. Never mind that Trump can do the same thing, he gets an automatic pass... IOKIYAR, you know. If she took the high road and ignored the baseless charges then Republicans would have been screaming that she was covering out some nefarious scandal.

She was in a no win situation, and she chose the high road, probably reasoning that if she remained silent they would have nothing to use against her.

is what the "Trump Foundation" had/has been doing - a true scam!!!!
