(1,555 posts)I'd call that grasping for straws. Are you even bothering to read the whole of the comment?
Your responses certainly indicate you're not. Since when has a ground-game ever been purely about offense OR defense? The short answer to that question is: never.
"BUT like I said....Obama didn't pull ahead UNTIL Bill Clinton flubbed in South Carolina...and it was racial."
Where exactly did you pose that argument is this thread? Are you presuming I'm too lazy to pay attention?
I'll save you the time; Its not in this thread, and frankly only serves to prove my point. Obama's ground game was far superior to that of the Clinton's, full stop, end of story. Make whatever excuses you like, but in the end HRC made mistakes that couldn't be recovered from... and if she could do that in the last election, you can damn well bet she can do it in the next one too.
Add to that the enormous number of republicans who have been gathering and manufacturing all manor of material to drub her political aspirations with, and HRC is nearly a guaranteed loss.
If anything, our best bet is to pretend that HRC is our front-runner, and then have our real front runner come from behind... exactly as what happened in the last presidential election.
