123. It seems like the majority of her campaign was shadow work

Fri Apr 29, 2016, 07:45 PM

Apr 2016

Seems like she has done very few rallies open to the public. She didn't spend her time with union workers to get her endorsements, she got some big union bosses to support her behind closed doors~~Psst, if you belong to a union that backed Clinton and didn't bother to come and meet with you and listen to what you want, you may want to reconsider who you vote for to represent you in your union.

Bernie has had to actually campaign, and without the media coverage that Hillary has gotten. Hillary's camp brags about how she has "cultivated relationships over many years", which appears to mean that for as much behind the scenes horse trading that Hillary is done equals "experience" and "knowing how to get things done". No whiff about what she believes in, cares about, or is willing to fight for. But we do have her record. I know who and what she is by her record.

Yeah, it seems the majority of Hillary's campaign has been conducted in smoked filled rooms, and very little time has been given to even the appearance of a real campaign.
