2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Washington Post: "Hillary Clinton is the most miscast figure on the 2016 political stage" [View all]SunSeeker
(58,376 posts)4. No, the "Washington Post" editorial board did not say that, a GOP hack did.
You post the most misleading OP titles. You should be embarrassed.
This is an opinion piece by Ed Rodgers, as the link, if you did not rename it as "link," would immediately tell people: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2016/01/04/hillary-clinton-is-the-most-miscast-figure-on-the-2016-political-stage/
Here's a little more info on Mr. Rodgers:
Ed Rogers has been involved in political campaigns, lobbying initiatives, private commercial transactions and various legal, media and market access challenges in the U.S. and in various international markets since the mid-90s. He regularly assembles teams of lobbyists, lawyers, PR specialists, investment professionals and private investigators to secure opportunities, solve problems, manage adversarial situations and achieve positive results for clients.
Prior to co-founding BGR Group in 1991, Ed served in the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Executive Assistant to the Chief of Staff. Ed also served as Senior Deputy to Bush-Quayle Campaign Manager Lee Atwater from 1987 through the general election in 1988.
From 1985 through February of 1987, Ed worked in the Reagan White House in the Office of Political Affairs, where he served as Haley Barbours deputy as Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of the Office of Political Affairs. Since 2011, Ed has been an opinion writer for the Washington Post, where he writes about politics and the current state of affairs in Washington, D.C., from a Republican point of view.

OP
As others have noted, the OP "miscasts" the source of this. Haley Barbour's chum Ed Rogers

You post this as if it's a Washington Post editorial, when it clearly is not.

Yes, a GOP hack who cluelessly belittled Obama's chances now does the same with Clinton.
