A series of strategic mistakes likely sealed Clinton’s fate
Posted: Nov 13, 2016
Just days before the election, after weeks believing that Michigan was safely blue, the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Priorities USA polled voters there — only to discover that it was a one-point race. The group quickly poured millions into the state. The Clinton campaign did similarly, and on the eve of the election, aides sent in Clinton herself, as well as her top surrogate, President Obama. It was too late. More at link, including a graphic that is easy to understand.;
Great article. - Thanks, HC, for the mandate!
[ In Reply To ..]All that negativity and lying sort of backfired on you. It worked for you to steal Bernie's votes, and it worked to destroy Debbie Dirtyhairwhatshername and Donna Dontpersecutemebrazile, but it didn't work on the American people. We have spoken.
Thank you also, HC, for getting rid of Bernie. I think he could have beat Trump, but we'll never know now because he'll be too old in 4 years, and nobody likes the fake Indian.
I'm glad Trump will be keeping a couple sane features of the ACA (Trumpcare). Yes, life is starting to look good again.
Thank you, Mr. Trump, and thank you, Ms. Clinton!
This is the beginning of the "we must share the power: - mantra that always follows a
[ In Reply To ..]Democrat loss.
They can all share a jail cell. I bet that would be a mandate!
When thinks started to turn against Hillary on election night, - they cut off election coverage on the
[ In Reply To ..]screen at the Javitz Center and replaced it with a giant Hillary logo.
Hillary didn’t even have the decency to address the crowd when it was over. Instead, she sent John Podesta out there.
Some of this crowd are the ones protesting now, not able to deal with their loss. Having to take time off from college.
The day after both wins for Obama I went to work. I've never seen so much babying in my adult life.
Many of them are bought and paid for by Soros. (sm) - nm
[ In Reply To ..]This morning they are bussing them from Wisconsin to Chicago for a "spontaneous" rally. And my name is Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Root cause analysis would serve the DNC well here. - But only if they have the guts to take it.
[ In Reply To ..]RCA doesn't stop with the first level of analysis. It drills down until the true underlying causes of failures are identified - and it can be brutal. It's not easy, either, and should be done by trained RC analysts.
I think that a formal analysis of the 2016 election would probably NOT come down to a series of "strategic" mistakes. These would likely be identified at the first or second levels, but there would be other top-level causes as well.
Then, you must analyze each of those top-level causes for THEIR causes, and continue the process to completion.
Do that, and I believe you would come to root causes that have nothing to do with "strategy" (matters involving planning, organization, finance, advertising, rallies, social media efforts, etc.) or "strategic errors", "miscalculations", "flawed polling" or any of those things.
Those did happen, but they would all show up at the more superficial levels of the analysis.
In fact, these things are symptomatic, not causal, and that is characteristic of RCA - at the upper levels, what look like "causes" are more likely to actually be "symptoms" of the real causes, and that's the reason for the drill-down.
The analysis can be enriched by looking at many other liberal failures on election night. Failure to take the Senate. Failure to gain but a few seats in the House. Many failures at state levels (there are now only 6 states that have both a Democrat governor and Democrat-controlled legislature).
This wasn't a failure of strategy.

The Fate Of EmpiresJul 27, 2015
A fascinating read, only 26 pages, but it's somewhat dry and scholastic in style so I'll note that the author first observes that human beings do not learn from history, and that in fact many people are ignorant about history, and so cannot learn from it. He lists numerous empires that lasted approximately 200 to 250 years, and analyzes the repeated, predictable stages of their rise and fall. As I read this, I thought he might have been writing a thumbnail sketch of the Un ...

One of the things that struck me was the naivete of the people (especially those not directly affected).

Around here, we will have a very cold day, and people will smirk and say "Sure wish that global warming would come." (or in summer vice-versa). Many people do not understand the increase in strength of these tornadoes an ...
