Even Bill Doesn’t Like Hillary Clinton’s Primary Strategy

 

PicMonkey Collage - Bill ClintonAccording to reporting from PoliticoBill Clinton is getting increasingly “nervous” about his wife Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton‘s electoral strategy.

With polls showing rival Bernie Sanders gaining a lead in New Hampshire and Iowa, “the former president is urging his wife to start looking toward the delegate-rich March primaries — a shift for an organizing strategy that’s been laser-focused on the early states,” Politico reports.

Bill has reportedly been making daily calls to campaign manager Robby Mook to express concern about the lack of ground game in states like Texas and Virginia that vote on “Super Tuesday.” In other delegate-rich states like Ohio, he complains, Hillary’s campaign infrastructure has been virtually nonexistent.

The former president may be speaking from experience. In 1992, he won the Democratic nomination despite losing in Iowa and New Hampshire after he swept the Super Tuesday primaries.
