How Clinton hit the reset button on 2016

A scare in Iowa and a crushing loss in New Hampshire drove her to shake up her strategy — and trust her advisers.

On the eve of her 22-point loss to Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton had been fretting about her strategy, questioning her staffing choices and generally flash-backing on her 2008 defeat.

It was at this point, however, that the once-and-future Democratic front-runner huddled with her aide-de-camp Huma Abedin and decided to make a statement that this time would, indeed, be different.

As her staff digested the rotten news on primary day from their digs at the ratty Radisson in downtown Manchester, aides were told to cancel their commercial flights back to New York: Clinton had traded up her small corporate plane for a bigger regional jet, and she was offering 25 of them a ride home. Misery would have company.

When the staff trudged up the steps in the chill, they were surprised to find Bill and Hillary Clinton, tired but smiling, at the hatch to offer hugs, handshakes, solace and offerings of “I appreciate what you did,” according to three people who were on the night flight.

Hillary Clinton is not the most talented candidate in the 2016 race. She isn’t the most electrifying speaker. And with Bernie Sanders’ massive online donor operation, she can’t even stake claim to being the best-funded Democrat in the field (he outraised her by about $10 million last month). But the past month has proved she is the toughest, and most resilient candidate in the field. For all her flaws, Clinton has overcome early stumbles to dominate Sanders on Super Tuesday, and she’s started to gently ease him into the fold even as the GOP descends into political Mogadishu.

The key to Clinton’s resurgence, and her game-changing Nevada and South Carolina wins, was the issue of race. After New Hampshire, she embraced a crusade against racial discrimination that energized black voters, unclogged the campaign’s collective writer’s block on messaging, reconnected with black voters and reactivated the old Hillaryland network of female friends, many of whom are African-American women.

Big challenges loom for Clinton (the intensifying federal probe into her use of a private email server as secretary of state poses, perhaps, the most lethal threat) but she’s already overcome a lot in 2016 — and the 30 days between New Hampshire and Super Tuesday are likely to be remembered as a key turning point in her quest for the presidency. It was a time when Clinton finally learned the most important lessons of her loss in 2008, according to a dozen Clinton insiders POLITICO interviewed for this story: Don’t panic, trust your team — even when you think they screwed up — and stick with the plan.

“She just got back to work,” says her campaign chairman, John Podesta, who served as Bill Clinton’s White House chief of staff in the 1990s, of the candidate’s post-New Hampshire approach. “............................

6. lots of female friends!!

"The Hillaryland crew that came out to support Clinton in South Carolina included Marva Smalls, a board member of Clinton’s super PAC, Priorities USA, and a 2008 campaign aide; Ann Walker Marchant, who worked in the Clinton White House and is a niece of power broker Vernon Jordan and a cousin of Valerie Jarrett; Alexis Herman, former labor secretary under Bill Clinton; Cheryl Benton, a longtime Clinton aide who worked for her at the State Department and on her 2008 campaign; Capricia Marshall, a loyal adviser since Clinton’s days as first lady; longtime supporter Judy Byrd, a friend and fundraiser since Clinton’s days in the Senate; Andrea McCoy, who works for South Carolina state Rep. Darryl Jackson and has been a longtime Clinton supporter and friend; Kiki McClean, a senior adviser to Clinton’s 2008 bid; longtime spokeswoman Karen Finney, who still works on the campaign; and Maya Harris, a current campaign policy adviser described as the “newest member of the band.”

It is a good sign IMO when a person gets along with their own gender. I have always found it suspicious when a man only has female friends or a female only has male friends. Especially if they are proud of it somehow. People should not put down their own gender. I find it a question of character.
