Campaign leaks are the best indicators of campaign dissatisfaction...

It ain't the campaign, it's the candidate.

Looks like a coordinated leak tbh, not that it makes it any better.

I actually know a couple of her staffers in Iowa and they don't even like her, they just view it as a job. So maybe she could get better people. I doubt it would make much difference though.

I know about 10 or so Clinton staffers in Iowa, and they all struck me as sincere in their support of Clinton.

On the original topic, I think after Mook has proved himself time and again, he would make a good central authority in the campaign.

This.

Granted some of the messaging strategy could be better but her problems have been largely from her own doing (emails, Goldman speeches etc). If anything it was her campaign that got her over the line in Iowa.

The thing is, it hasn't been a public mess, and the Politico piece goes so far as to note that the campaign is a much tighter ship with much more loyal staffers this time around. But, please, continue to buy into your own chosen narrative.

Outsiders at least aren't a fan of Robby. I think the old guard is wrong though. But she does need better communications people. Why has it taken her people so long to prep her on the wall street speeches, etc. Why can't she create a simple motto/theme?

Mook has ran a much tighter ship this year. Unlike 2008 you don't read every day stories about internal strife and campaign staffers sniping at each other. And this time it has spent its money much more efficiently and still retains a healthy bank account used to organize in post-Super Tuesday states.

And whoever has read "Game Change" should know that even the much heralded Obama campaign had its moments of turmoil and self-doubt.

Apparently Mark Penn is still involved with Clinton's campaign? I'd laugh if she weren't the presumptive nominee.

Apparently he gives some unofficial advice to Bill. Wouldn't surprise me if Penn was the one who encouraged him to attack Sanders.

Clinton should just drop out and concede the nomination to Sanders.

Seems like it was a BS story from Politico.

Why? Considering that she's going to destroy him on Super Tuesday, it would be stupid for her to do that. I mean, Sanders wants a coronation because of muh, big banks, billionaires, evil this, corrupt that, but he shouldn't get a free ride just because he wants one.

I don't think there is anything bad about her staff, I am sure they are trying their best to help her win & she is still doing very well nationally
