Hillary's Campaign staff: (HILLARY GROUP)

HRC continues to lead in polls, although a few very recent ones might be a bit worrisome. And her success is most certainly in part a reflection of her staff 's competence. But I wonder from time to time if she could be better served.

This piece from Esquire is WAAAAY over the top, but maybe contains some issues to ponder regarding her past and present campaign staffs:

I strongly disagreed with the "apology," for example, and my guess is Hillary was finally talked into it because the NYT.

Of, course, mine are the thoughts of "insider" DMM. (sarcasm) Any thoughts out there?

No, the NYT is not her friend.

Hillary is at her best when she is on the attack, kicking ass and taking names. She needs to loosen up and speak forcefully. That resonates and gets attention. Sounds like she is getting too much advice.

I know she is passionate about her views. Just let Hillary be Hillary!

It has been planned this way, she is speaking more, giving positions on policy, she is moving.
