2)
Did she ever look at her campaign rally
videos & compare them
with
those of Sanders & Trump in terms of
audience
size
&
enthusiasm
? Did
she do
self-evaluation - a necessary exercise because subordinates
normally hesitate to point out what would really hurt the boss emotionally?
3) Did she have the ability to walk in others' shoes, including her opponents'
shoes
? Did she have a sense of "
entitlement
"
causing her
to use "a
basket of de
plorable
" to
describe
DT's supporters?
When
Madeleine
A
lbright,
standing next to HC, stated
"There is
a
special
place in hell for
women
who don't help each
other," did she get HC's approval first? They
were both
pros in campaigns. Fold
the above into the fact that her
the election
.
4)
HC is "
candor deficient
", yet she hid
her
health situation when
diagnosed
to have pneumonia. Did she know that she must protect her weakest
flank?
5) Did HC apply her immense resources wisely? She received 65 million
votes
nationally.
However, had she applied her resources to drive out an
additional
11,000 votes
in Michigan; 23,000 votes in Wisconsin; and
45,000 in
Pennsylvania, she would have been the president.
Look at the
following shocking facts.
State Electoral votes DT's winning margin in votes
Total:
46
77
,744
or 1.2/1000th of HC's total
65.8 million votes
.
Were HC to get those additional 80,000 votes, then in terms of electoral
votes:
DT would have (306 -
46
) = 260
HC would have (232 +
46
) = 278, making her the winner!
Answer for yourself:
Did HC make good decisions? Was she a good strategist?

NOTE:
(1) The closeness of votes in these 3 battleground states may forecast yet another tight presidential contest in 2020, if DT doesn't govern well.
(2) It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. Hence, in publishing this series on the 2016 Election, it's not EF's intention to say that it knows
better. Our intention is to help the AsAm community know more about America and American elections.
