ENOUGH with the "Clinton campaign didn't ask for our help" whining!

45. It's not just "the campaign didn't ask", it's "we offered help and they wouldn't take it".

Would you at least agree that it MIGHT have been a mistake not to listen to advice from Sanders supporters in Wisconsin and Michigan, states where Bernie had beaten Hillary in the primaries?

They repeatedly approached the Clinton campaign with good strategic suggestions, but the campaign refused to listen.

I get it that some Clinton people had hard feelings about the primaries(if you're honest, you'd have to acknowledge that Sanders people had equal grounds for resentment, especially over the relentless smears about Bernie's commitment to fighting racism), but if somebody from a state where their candidate got more votes than you offers advice, is it not in your interest, whoever you are, to listen to and consider taking that advice?
BTW...IF Bernie had been nominated, I'd have been one of the loudest voices insisting that he listen to Clinton supporters about how to connect with the voters Bernie wasn't able to connect with in the primaries, and I'd recommend any nominee's campaign do the same when trying to appeal to voters who preferred another primary candidate-to me, that's just common sense and mutual respect.
