A Fool and Her Money is Soon Parted

2. Given the amateurish nature of the website

I think it's a PUMA (s)with a grudge, helped by some Republican money. I mean, robocalls all over the country aren't cheap at anytime, even during the week before Christmas when respondants are unavailable, and I imagine a company is probably hurting for clients. The website is ugly and lacking in the kind of structure needed for rapid response. And what kind of rapid response could there be? There's no structure to give money. People who want to vote in either Iowa or NH would have had to already been registered, so new voters can't enter into the fray.

Indeed, the whole effort smacks of both political ignorance and naivete. Robocalls to places like New York and California, places that are probably both true-blue and come later in the cycle, show that there is no political strategist but a company probably exploiting a well-off and naive PUMA. The whole thing smacks of self-pity that Hillary didn't win against Obama. But why the rage and hurt? It's the hope of a female President named Hillary lost for them. They feel that Hillary was entitled to the White House and that Obama mugged her out of her appointed destiny.

For these people, a woman President is about self-affirmation, not about policies and political skill. It's not even about what Hillary can have or what she wants. It's clear that Hillary is happy doing what she does now. If she wasn't she could have resigned without much of a problem. But these people can't let her alone, but still try to get her to primary a sitting President popular with his own party.
