Q: What?
A: WhatNOT!
Her advertisement contained elements that could work either for or against her. I pointed out a prominent one. Telling people what they should or shouldn't think about it; so, all the content works only in her favor, doesn't work. UT posted an analysis of that strategy which CLEARLY demonstrated it's a failed strategy. Those who promulgated that strategy, during Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign, not only contributed to her defeat, they caused her to lose to DONALD frickin' TRUMP. The campaign strategy has to change; or, history will repeat itself. All those posting in this thread who see no need for that change are the same old dogs who can't learn new tricks that contributed to Hillary's defeat. The egocentric Judases who would tell others what to think rather than adapt campaign advertising to suit more people.
Acknowledged is that all Americans are partly responsible for what this country does via its President; because, the people elect that person. This political candidate served in a volunteer military and was indeed partly responsible for the outcome of military endeavors as both a voter and a volunteer who, as an officer, could have resigned at any time to voice her dissatisfaction. She didn't, she stayed in because it suited her personal ambitions. In this regard here's no comparison of her culpability to the draftees who served in Vietnam whose choices were to serve, go to jail; or, flee the country.
What I'm seeing in this thread are people whose ideas on political campaign strategy contributed to the most humiliating political defeat of our time ... and it was for their own candidate!
Time to ignore them and start listening, with comprehension, to those who've demonstrated they know how to win. Especially when it comes to independents (like me) who may very well end up backing their candidate too. Of course the egotists who place pontificating their opinions above all else will have no part of it. They'll fall by the wayside ... again.
