Penn worked on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Penn had the brilliant idea of a California winner-take-all strategy.
The latest: At a strategy session last year, Penn reportedly said that a Clinton win in California would effectively wrap up the nomination by awarding her all of the state's 370 delegates.
As we all know, Democrats don't do winner-take-all primaries, but instead use a form of proportional representation that has been in force for about 20 years -- a fact that didn't seem to sink in with the Clinton campaign and their big-state strategy.
I have been laughing while writing this post. Want to know why Hillary Clinton didn't win the nomination? Terry McAuliffe and Mark Penn are a major reason.
Your site is very informative! The way you present your articles is exquisite. Would you mind if we exchange links?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes things worse is that McAuliffe was warned that Penn's bills were inflated.
