Hillary Clinton Rips 'Bankrupt' DNC Data Operation (axios.com)

An anonymous reader shares an article: Hillary Clinton slammed the DNC's 2016 campaign data operation Wednesday, saying she had "nothing" to work from once she won the nomination. She lamented that Donald Trump was able to walk into a well-funded and thoroughly-tested data operation, while she was forced to build hers largely from scratch. Axios conducted over two dozen interviews with experts associated with the Trump and Clinton data and advertising operations earlier this year, and while many sources agreed with this sentiment off the record, no campaign or DNC staffers used language as strong as Clinton did Wednesday to publicly to condemn the DNC's data enterprise. Further reading: "I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost," says Clinton.

    So, do you think she will run roughshod over the DNC to run again in 2020?

    Not going to happen. She's been throwing everyone that helped her on her campaign under the bus, and I doubt she'll be healthier in 2020 either. Plus, even if she sought the nomination, she'd probably have to contend with Lezzy Warren, Corey Booker & Uncle Joe Biden. Nobody's going to clear the way for her, now that the Clinton Crime Family Foundation money laundering operation has gone belly up.

    pretty much. Unless you're LGBT, then you are also a member of the Grand Coalition of Self-Identified Victims, aka The Democratic Party.

    There's a distinct possibility that the RNC got their hands on those leaked voter rolls. Now, whether they got them from the Russians or not is up to debate. But regardless of where they got them from if they had them it woulda made their data ops world class regardless. There's no doubt the RNC did amazing things with targeted advertising in 2016. It's a big part of how they won. But it's kinda scary to think they mighta pulled it off not with skill but with data they weren't entitled to given to them by a bad actor looking to destabilize the country with a loose cannon party/president...
