13.) With that said, the DNC got everything Bernie related wrong, from letting him run, to their interactions during the race.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
14.) Which leads me to Bernie- who has to wear some blame for running a very harsh primary message against HRC and the party.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
15.) His argument that the nominee and party were corrupt validated Trump's identical general election argument.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
16.) The "or Bust" movement that followed that tough campaign was small and isolated, but fierce and loud.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
17.) Again though, I blame the DNC for allowing a non-Democrat in though- that has been his message forever.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
18.) Bill has to wear a tiny sliver of blame here too- his policies and personal errors finally hurt- his wife. It's unfair and unfortunate.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
19.) The campaign deserves a lot of blame too, even if some of it is unfair. Clearly there were strategic errors made as well.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
20.) The ground game was large, and got nearly 65 million votes, but made major mistakes. The model was most definitely off.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
21.) The decision to not do persuasion and treat the whole campaign as a GOTV build was a major mistake too. We conceded undecideds.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
22.) Then there was the candidate's schedule- mostly visiting big cities, doing a large percentage of fundraisers, skipping WI in October.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
23.) And let's not forget the messaging. The fact that we had large scale defections among both white and POC Dems shows a real problem.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
24.) Why did Hillary want to be POTUS? I love and admire her, but we lacked a compelling message. We got lots of policies.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
25.) Which btw- voters don't give a damn about policies. They don't understand them. They want themes.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
26.) And on the anti-Trump messaging- clearly what we did, didn't work. Calling him a racist, sexist nut didn't move people.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
27.) In fact I think that message and the "Deplorables" comment actually drew more people to him, sick as that is. It made him "common."— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
28.) Imho, attacking him with the negatives we hit Romney with- crooked businessman, tax shelters, closed your factory- would have worked.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
29.) We did hit him some on his businesses and taxes- but not w/ the laser focus PBO hit Mitt in 2012.— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
30.) Last thing I'll hit the campaign on- the campaign song. Oh boy....— Rich Wilkins (@TheRichWilkins) December 1, 2016
