Good summary of her self inflicted wounds (nymag.com)

Responses:

*Checks* nope, not alienated. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 12:21
She's the nominee. This won't affect her in the slightest and she knows it. -- nm* - ML Galaxy Mar 14, 12:11 7
- it won't affect her nomination but anything that suppresses the base might not be a good idea. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 12:16 6
  - Trump is ensuring the base will be motivated. - ML Galaxy Mar 14, 12:19 5
    - She needs the Bernaics too, I think. - Mel Profit Mar 14, 12:26 1
      - after he endorses her at the convention, they'll hold their noses - ML Mar 14, 12:36
    - I...agree with ML -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 12:22
    - Yeah, pretty sure Hillary could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and she wouldn't lose voters. - Spawn Mar 14, 12:22 1
      - Hillary could throw herself in front of bullets being fired and she won't win anymore votes -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 12:30
One involves context - she attended Nancy Reagan's funeral this weekend, kinda hard to diss her under those circumstances. And was there more to tha - nic to be determined Mar 14, 12:02 1
- And she probably hugged Dubya to keep him from showing her pics of his newest paintings. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 14, 12:05
So is that a result of terrible, tone-deaf campaigning? Or is it sending a message to GOP voters alienated by Trump that they can feel safe voting for - Roger More Mar 14, 11:51 18
- I think she went for General Election optics and missed badly on 2 and whatever on the hug. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Mar 14, 12:01
- I think they were miscues and not some high-level brilliant messaging to moderate Republicans. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 11:58 13
  - I think it was both. The idea was definitely to seem presidential to moderates. It reinforces how bad she is at campaigning, though. -- nm - David Mar 14, 12:46
  - I will also say, that if being photographed with Dubya at the funeral of a former first lady is somehow a negative toward her with a voter - Will Hunting Mar 14, 12:03 10
    - agree 110%. -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 12:18
    - Wait, that's really a thing people are bitching about? - znufrii Mar 14, 12:07 2
      - Dude, she looked... happy. - Spawn Mar 14, 12:09 1
        
        She must have seen Britney Spears across the room. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 12:14
    - Kim hits it exactly: I can't hold that against her, shunning him would have been wrong. Hill's issue here though - ty97 Mar 14, 12:05 5
      - Like I said, if anyone decides that's the breaking point, society's better off without them participating. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 12:20 1
        
        right. If people think she should have spit in Dubya's face or whatever they are just the Trump of the Left -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 12:24
      - It's part of being in that club of former occupants of the White House. -- nm - Remlik Mar 14, 12:16
      - That's just stupid. Her husband and his father are dear friends and they spend a lot of leisure time together. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 12:11
      - right, one picture's the thing that's going to turn them against her -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 12:08
  - Yep. - Dark Callisto Mar 14, 12:00
- I suspect it's a little from column A and a little from column B. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 11:55
- She's not performed well enough to be given this benefit of the doubt. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 11:55 1
  - Yeah, I Occam's razored it too. -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 12:01
She's been doing that for years. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 11:51
I don't feel alienated -- nm - decline Mar 14, 11:44 1
- That's because your cuckgressive! - ty97 Mar 14, 11:47
she'll spend Tuesday extending her insurmountable delegate lead over their favorite candidate -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 11:42
