Why are all of Hillary's strategic, most high profile "brains" men, again?

Last edited Wed Feb 10, 2016, 03:45 PM - Edit history (3)

Idiots like Mark Penn and David Brock. That absolutely contradicts her message. If you refuse to hire women to shape your message, you're sending a hollow message, and hypocritical.

On Edit: I originally said "advisors" so I had to be more specific because 3 women behind the scenes don't get much notice, if any. I was thinking David Axelrod, Mark Penn, Steve Schmidt ("brains&quot strategists so I totally eff'd up the original title.

The strategy wonks like David Axelrod, except unlike Axelrod, her "brains" make dum-bass decisions. But you're right. My OP misses the mark. I should retitle it.
