They need to rethink their strategy because this is what people are hearing about Hillary:

1. Her email crisis
2. Her whining about bad press coverage
3. Her ads about her awesome mom and being a grandma

Her campaign is vapid. There is literally nothing to hold on to.

Sanders and O'Malley are doing tons of public events and talking issues. In Hillary's campaign, issues and the voters take a backseat to the cult of personality surrounding her. It's a huge mistake.

Agree, but does that mean that every source within the Clinton campaign will be on the record? Mass Aug 2015 #12

using that source as the only corroborator of that report was outrageous bigtree Aug 2015 #13

I agree, but this is not new and Democrats are often using these anonymous sources as well. Mass Aug 2015 #15
