There was only ONE PERSON in Clinton’s “Inner Circle” Who Didn’t Think She’d Win
Leading up to the election, Clinton’s inner circle of top aides assured her that she was going to win.
There was only one person who disagreed.
Jake Sullivan.
He didn’t think Clinton would win.
But (thankfully) no one listened to him.
From Daily Caller:
“Jake Sullivan, Clinton’s policy director—a brainy and nervous former State Department aide who took on an increasingly important political role as the campaign ground on—was the only one in Clinton’s inner circle who kept saying she would likely lose, despite the sanguine polling,” Thrush says, citing Sullivan’s friends. “He was also the only one of the dozen aides who dialed in for Clinton’s daily scheduling call who kept on asking if it wasn’t a good idea for her to spend more time in the Midwestern swing states in the closing days of the campaign.”
But the rest of Clinton’s campaign ignored Sullivan, with his warnings being dismissed so quickly, they weren’t even substantively considered.
“They spent far more time debating whether or not Clinton should visit Texas and Arizona, two states they knew she had little chance of winning, in order to get good press,” Thrush says. Just a week before Election Day, Clinton made a campaign stop in Tempe, Arizona.
The end result was that Clinton’s campaign went into the final days utterly convinced the race was in the bag and Trump had no shot.
“On the Monday before Election Day, Clinton’s polling team assured the candidate that she would win, echoing the prediction of nearly every public poll and most of Trump’s own data,” Thrush says.
In the end, though, Sullivan was vindicated entirely. Clinton’s “Blue Wall” in the Rust Belt crumbled, and she suffered shocking defeats in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin by a combined margin of less than 100,000 votes. Had she won all three, she would have been the president-elect. In the case of Wisconsin, she lost narrowly after not bothering to visit the state a single time during the general election campaign.

Clinton NEVER had a chance. MILLIONS of illegal aliens voted for her and dead people. It was NEVER close; and only close because of govt propaganda and corruption.
Dave, you’re exactky correct. She lost so badly (actual true & real count) that she and her cronies need to accept it or simply leave the country to us deplorable’s to relish in Trumps Presidency. Ahhh but MSM will forever say she won the popular vote. Mark my words, historians will fall into that ruse and forever write it too, so, tell your kids and grand kids the truth now. That’s the only way to keep ((true)) history. She had it in the bag (ROFLMAO), no wonder she went AWOL for over 230+ days without a press conference. Priceless must have been the look on her face Election midnight. 🙂
