128. No, it's not an echo chamber

Fri Feb 20, 2015, 08:23 PM

Feb 2015

Those who were against her will say she is doing everything wrong. You can't oppose her election at that point, but you can find fault with every thing her campaign is doing and pull out your hair that she's going to lose. This is exactly what a lot of her supporters in the primary did during the campaign, along with suggestions that she could have done a better job than Obama in running/winning the election.
