Another huge problem with the Clinton campaign were the endless fundraising emails. They made her look dishonest (because they were dishonest) and made her sound like a telemarketer. Trump wasn’t doing the fundraising carpet-bombing. He was getting the coverage on his own, with his own media presence. That made him look stronger and more capable.
The whole Clinton campaign was beyond outdated. I hope these lessons have been learned and future Dem candidates ditch these old-time practices.
And by the way, the supremely obnoxious Monica Vernon who spammed my mailbox with half a dozen of teary emails A DAY for over a year and who made me hate her name forever and ever lost the election to a Tea Party freak.
So candidates, please, enough begging. Go do things yourself, show that you are not a bottomless money-guzzler.

They should do something modern with all the money they collected. Here’s an idea: The seventh most popular book sold on Amazon last Wednesday was Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide. It probably has hidden meanings.

It looks like Democrats agree. In those hundreds of emails I got from the Monica Vernon campaign, there was not a single policy point, not a single thing mentioned that she stood for. I still have no idea what her platform was.
So yeah, it’s a problem.

So do you know the joke about the book Dan Miller is referring to?
Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensice Guide is an actual best-selling paperback book on Amazon.com (costs $6.98) — and all of its 266 pages are BLANK! 🙂

I can’t say whether or not this was a major failing of the Clinton campaign, but the idea that Trump wasn’t doing the exact same things seems pretty inaccurate
