DNC allies incensed by Clinton criticism

Allies of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in particular were incensed by Clinton’s criticism of the party apparatus, saying she mischaracterized the committee’s work while needlessly stoking internal divisions.

“This is all about the last campaign. And really, what Democrats should be focusing on, and what I think Hillary Clinton should be figuring out, is how do we empower the DNC to have the best data resources to win races this year, in 2018 and 2020,” a former DNC aide said.

“Having hard feelings about the data that you may or may not have received in 2016 ultimately is not the reason why we lost.”

Oh! Wait a second! They are pissed Clinton is blaming them!?!?!?

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!

18. Nope people gave it to her

Not some imaginary DNC conspirators which is what you clearly mean

Not really. The DNC cheated with Hillary to deny Bernie the slot- backed by teh superdelegates and millions of dollars from foreign donors... about the last people Hillary wanted to have support from was the voting masses...

4. The problem seems not to have been the data Democrats had and shared with the DNC
or the Clinton campaign, the problem was that data was stolen by Russians
and shared with GOP operatives to target our voters minds and email accounts.

17. How did they target us?

You mean about all her "email" and Benghazi stuff? That was all over the evening news every day because the Repugs made sure to get a headline about it. So it was already everywhere

What did they do or say when they targeted us? And was it through emails or direct mailings or calls or what? How *do* you target a voter?

23. Wow.

Seen the news on using Facebook for disinformation lately? or just look at DU for example.

Or the Florida GOP operative who had access to the hacked data
and knew our voters' voting patterns?

Some of these stories move faster on Twitter than the MSM.

6. Oh geesh

Hillary may have a point. It may or may not be valid. But the fact is, Hillary isn't at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and the DNC had a part to play too. Hillary lost. The DNC lost. Lots of Democrats lost. It's part of the soul searching process. Sure, vote rigging, Russia etc didn't help.

Besides, I think Hillary is perfectly entitled to express her opinions on why she didn't get the job.

7. And if she had won

with the current GOP Congress, she would already have been impeached,
tried, and convicted for having an email account in her home, with Donnie
sniping from the sidelines.

Legitimacy and sanity are not in power right now, but they are intact on
the sidelines, and their day will come.

8. Anyone who said that clearly didn't listen to what Sec Clinton actuallly said in her interview....

In her interview at the tech summit, Sec Clinton clearly laid out the deficiencies in the party's tech apparatus compared to the RNC and the Mercer family. It was in no way a jab at the DNC and it would be hard to characterize it as such.

The interview itself was one of the most real interviews of any politician I've ever seen, particularly Sec Clinton. From the way that she responded to questions to the persona she exudes it was clear that she was showing her real self and for anyone on our side to criticize her for that, with no evidence to support their position, it reeks of axe grinding and personal gripes.

I've certainly had my own complaints about Sec Clinton, but that interview will never be one of them. In fact, I think she did more to highlight her genuineness, and her compassion and empathy for people at large during that interview than she ever showed on the campaign trail. She was funny, self deprecating, and clearly has studied the tech issues at play during the election and discussed them in a way that average people could understand.

11. CNN: Democrats to Clinton: The DNC's data was fine -- you just used it wrong


FULL story: http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/02/politics/hillary-clinton-dnc-data-pushback/

By Eric Bradner, CNN

Washington (CNN)Democratic data gurus are lashing out at Hillary Clinton after she complained publicly that her campaign was hamstrung by a party that had out-of-date information on individual voters.

Clinton said Wednesday in an interview with Recode's Kara Swisher that once she became the Democratic nominee, she inherited "nothing." The Democratic National Committee's data, she said, "was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong. I had to inject money into it."
Her comments drew swift rebuttals from some Democratic operatives who built, or worked with, that data.

Andrew Therriault, the former DNC director of data science, lashed out in two since-deleted tweets, calling Clinton's comments "f---ing bull----."

"I hope you understand the good you did despite that nonsense," he said in a message directed to DNC data staffers.

19. Too bad Andrew still doesn't have a job

Scum like him would be ripe for firing squad

I think Andy is going to have a fatal robbery accident in the near future...

22. According to Sec Clinton

The DNC was a mess. I wonder who was running it?

[SVPete]

The CHILL is once again demonstrating how arrogant she is:

1. She has zero responsibility for her loss, everybody else is at fault;

2. More to the point, she is hyper-vehiculating her allies (following the model of Obama, but her allies are domestic rather than foreign);

3. She seems not to have anticipated that those she blamed would defend themselves publicly, and that they would have the power to do so meaningfully.

I won't say The CHILL's star has set, but right now it's very low to the horizon - two Presidential Campaign losses and shooting her allies.

[BadCat]

Or the Florida GOP operative who had access to the hacked data
and knew our voters' voting patterns?

HA!  Like that's so hard to figure out?  A lobotomized monkey could figure out your voting "patterns".

[franksolich]

First of all, none of this appears to be anything originally thought of by the big guy from Bellevue; he's incapable of thinking this deeply.  I'll bet somebody else found the material and passed it on to him so he could post it.

He's just not smart enough.  He's got the IQ of a rock.

It's happened before; it's hard to forget the time Ms Ed the unappellated eohippus, the high priestess of Moloch to the primitives, out of the blue posted some articles about, of all places, Cuba.

Ms Ed never been known, before then, to express any thoughts about Cuba, and she hasn't, since that one isolated time.  It was then obvious she had been set up to do it.

Second, this:

The DNC cheated with Hillary.....

And it's a damned good thing, too.  The cranky old sourassed sourpuss was a threat to the Republic, to our rights and liberties, and needed to be kept out of the White House.

[Old n Grumpy]

Her party let her down, they didn't vote enough times and didn't get enough illegals and dead people out to vote for her. 

And she didn't figure on the army of Macedonians  coming out to sabotage her election.

Maybe she can get a job as a model for the Captain Kangaroo line of pants suits.

[BlueStateSaint]

Dick Morris is saying that she's trying to set herself up for 2020 and another run.

[Old n Grumpy]

Dick Morris is saying that she's trying to set herself up for 2020 and another run.

That would be great, we can watch her piss away several hundred million of the lefts $$$ and watch her lose a 3rd time.

Maybe then her head will explode and we will be rid of her for good.

[Mr Mannn]

Hmmm, the DNC broke laws to get Hillary nominated. Now she blames the DNC.
Methinks the DNC will not be risking their necks for the Hillary 2020 run...

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

For people determined to inch their way into a civil war they don't seem smart enough to shore up their own ranks.
