52. She admitted to being a "lousy" campaigner?

Thu Sep 1, 2016, 03:25 PM

Sep 2016

can you link that.

I know she has noted that they she isn't a great campaigner, but I missed where she said "lousy."

And, her campaign if fine - she is out there pretty much every day doing events, they have a clear strategy, seem well organized and everyone is on the same page.

She is not a super dynamic person AND the right wing and media are chomping at the bit to blow some nonsense out of proportion, so they run a tight balance between getting her out and protecting her from the stupid.

The issue is a quarter century of right wing slander ... The public is worn down with it all.
