One Man In Hillary’s Campaign Warned She Could Lose, And Everybody Ignored Him

Posted By Blake Neff On 1:56 PM 12/09/2016

A major figure in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign warned she was in danger of losing the election days before the vote, but was ignored by the rest of her staff, a new write-up in Politico says.

Glenn Thrush has published a massive piece, “10 Crucial Decisions That Reshaped America,” detailing the key decision points in the 2016 campaign that led to President-elect Donald Trump’s surprising ultimate victory. But buried near the end of the article is a compelling anecdote about the hubris in the Clinton camp that brought about her final defeat.

In the last days of the campaign, Clinton was the overwhelming favorite according to most experts. Polls showed her with a consistent lead in key states, and several advanced forecasters regarded her chances of victory as 90 percent or more. Even FiveThirtyEight, the most pessimistic major forecaster, said Clinton’s chances were greater than 70 percent.

Clinton’s campaign largely shared this optimism, Thrush says, with the exception of one person.

Almost 20 years ago a GOP candidate here in Iowa named Jim Ross Lightfoot was running for governor here in Iowa. Going into the final weekend, he was comfortably ahead in the polls against his opponent Tom Vilsack.

As a result, he and his team took the weekend off, not stumping around the state or calling to GOTV, while the Vilsack team did the opposite.

Vilsack spent the next 8 years as Iowa's governor.

Speaking of Jim Ross Lightfoot, who took his House seat?

Democrat Leonard Boswell, who ran as a conservative Democrat to win, but was a reliable liberal vote anytime it was close.

Shoot, you're right.  I had to look it up.  I was thinking of his fifth district seat, where he was succeeded by Gopher.
