You know the Democrats are in bad shape when even their own consultants are admitting that Hillary Clinton is bad news for their party.
According to former Bill Clinton and Al Gore campaign pollster Stan Greenberg, that’s exactly what’s happening as Clinton refuses to simply retire gracefully from the public stage. Instead, she’s trotted out a horrible new book that blames everyone from the media to sexism to Vladimir Putin to James Comey for her loss instead of pointing the finger at the obvious prime suspect for her defeat — herself.
According to Greenberg, there are actually very real factors to blame for the 2016 blowout besides the ones Clinton’s cited — factors that even her husband Bill attempted to warn her campaign about, but he was simply ignored and relegated to the sidelines. Meanwhile, Hillary’s team prioritized their “rainbow base” over working-class voters and pooh-poohed economic issues.
As the gang at Fox’s Outnumbered discusses these matters, Republican former Congressman Jason Chaffetz weighs in on how Clinton’s continued prominence hurts the Democrats, who are also faced with Republican-created gains in the stock market and a positive economic outlook for blue-collar Americans as they head toward the 2018 midterm elections.
Watch, as Republicans’ prospects for 2018 (and perhaps even 2020) may be brighter than conservatives think.
