The Clinton Loss: from a Hispanic perspective

By now for those interested and who care, have read all the ana-lysts reports of what went wrong with the Hillary Clinton campaign for Presidency. 16 months ago it was considered a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic Party’s candidate for President, Barack Obama was a mere oddity at the time, so to see her campaign fail offers us an opportunity to dissect what went wrong.

From all the pundits, political media experts, and commentaries the overwhelming theory was that Hillary was not able to break away from her ties to the old guard/insider image and did not represent a true chance for change. Coupled with this, from the very outset, the Hillary campaign was running as if it was a campaign focused on the November election outreaching to middle America. This was obvious in her wishy-washy stance on the war in Iraq, where she did not embrace a troop pullout and stated that the troops need to stay for the sake of stability, after this the anti-war core of the Democratic Party started looking around for a champion to carry their cause.”*
