Hillary blames DNC data operation for her loss - DNC data director calls it 'f**king bull***t'



Let's see... Hillary's list of people and things to blame for her 2016 loss now includes Barack Obama, The Russians, Misogyny, Steve Bannon, Racism, Fake News, Twitter Bots, Religion, James Comey, Facebook, Media Bias, Wikileaks, and, of course, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. That's quite a list. Any day now, we expect Hillary to release a book called "320 Million Reasons I Lost in 2016." It'll just be a long list of every American who either refused to vote for her, or voted for her but didn't do enough to get other people to vote for her. This week, she added one new thing to her list of blameables. The Democrat Party itself.
It seems poor old "Hillary the Victim" was underserved by the DNC. She claims the party was in free-fall, it's data ops were virtually nonexistent, and well, they let her down. Meanwhile, Donald Trump - that big meanie - had a "tried and true" outfit behind him. From the Hill:
"So I’m now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party," she said during a question and answer session at Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. "I mean, it was bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong," she recalled. "I had to inject money into it." By contrast, she said, then-GOP candidate Donald Trump inherited a well-funded and extensively tested data operation that laid the foundation for his ultimately successful campaign to effectively weaponize data and internet content against Clinton. "So Trump becomes the nominee and he is basically handed this tried and true, effective foundation," Clinton said.

As you might imagine, Hillary's whining isn't sitting well with the people who actually ran the DNC's data program. They are, shall we say, ...less than thrilled with her. In a series of now deleted tweets, the DNC's former director of data science, Andrew Therriault, used some saucy language to absolutely rip Mrs. Clinton's claims...
“DNC data folks: today’s accusations are # bullshit, and I hope you understand the good you did despite that nonsense”
Yikes. He went on to attack the fact that Mrs. Clinton couldn't be bothered to campaign in Michigan or Wisconsin. Hillary blames DNC data operation for her loss - DNC data director calls it 'f**king bull***t'

This is just so much fun to watch. The DNC wasn't responsible for Hillary collapsing on the campaign trail. They weren't behind the coughing fits, the weeks she went home to rest, or the weird coke-bottle shades. They didn't tell her to label half the country "deplorables," make that bizarre 'fifty points ahead' video, or run a completely nebulous campaign that was apparently only based on the idea that "it was her turn." As Therriault points out, Hillary's party didn't tell her to take the Midwest for granted, either. In fact, we now know they begged her to campaign there. The DNC does have some culpability when it comes to rigging the primary against Bernie and aiding Hillary's goal of ensuring Donald Trump became her opponent, but again, they were just helping her get what she wanted. I don't know how many times we can say this, but here we go again: Hillary's loss was Hillary's fault. She was an awful candidate who was hauling around 40 years of negative baggage. Please. Run her again in 2020.
