The one thing she was honest about, she got rid of!


Actually, those of us who immediately pointed out the Red Right Arrow was a big faux pas were jumped on by Clinton supporters. But they never had a defense for the red, only defended the right pointing arrow as "going forward". So far, Bernie has had great marketers and ad designers on his campaign team. Clinton should learn a thing or ten from them, but doubt she will.

I assume you meant THAT.

Instead of arguing over several posts with the person who asked you to fix your words so s/he could know what you meant to say, why not just *look* at the post in question to find out why s/he couldn't understand it?

did--i.e., simply quote the confusing post so you could see why it was confusing, instead of arguing when it was obvious you didn't realize there was a typo in your post. I think the primaries cause people to jump down each other's throats for the slightest reason, rather than attempting to communcate or inform.)

What in the name of sweet what-all is she or her staff thinking to put her in a bowling alley to talk to a half dozen potential voters? This is not a campaign that's building momentum.

Seems she is trying to come across as a common folk at a bowling alley, she's standing in the place one would be if they were actually going to bowl, but she's wearing a formal pantsuit and spike high heels. I don't get it.

Why on earth wouldn't she put on a pair of sneaks at the very least, or bowling shoes and take a shot. Hey Obama did it and sure, he can't bowl, but he won.

This event was a fail on many levels. Her campaign is just not thinking things through.
