How to run an administration

The past two weeks have not been kind to the Hildebeast.

Captain's Quarters has a breakdown of all the recent incidents that has flummoxed the Clinton campaign.

I don't like the long campaign season but there is one thing to be learned about the candidate(s) during these prolonged campaigns. Frankly, how one runs a campaign is likely to mirror how they run an administration.

In the case of the Hildebeast, it looks like you can expect any criticism of her to be responded with a "you can't hit a girl" from her administration. In addition, you can already see that the campaign continues to have the most aggressive and media savvy attack dogs on the campaign trail as evidenced by the planted question scandal.

Clinton can claim that she never authorized the "piling on" videos but she's responsible for her campaign and her campaign is going to take on the personality of it's leader.

Remember, Nixon never authorized the Watergate break in, but it was his fervent paranoia that had his campaign think it was a good idea.

And when it's all said and done, the Hildebeast looks like Richard Nixon, without the charm.
