Event planning tends to be her forte. Not running a party (which in reality is a thankless job, as Dean says).

Don't know why she keeps getting blamed. Call the DCCC and the DSCC for starters.

This thing was planned months ago. But there are a lot of people in that room who gave ideas and who helped. It wasn't just her. She signed off on stuff and whatnot. And now it's seen why she was picked as for Clinton's campaign. The Democrats reward hard work. It's a crazy concept, I know.

And if you compare it to last week, it was a world-class TRIUMPH. A total GRAND SLAM! She left us with a happy ending, for sure!
