Six mornts after the election that landed donald trump in the white house. Shattered. Why Clintons Campaign may have been troubled from the start. We have more on what he discovered doing the research for this book. Good morning and thank you so much more being here with us. Good morning. How does the research for where do you start with this . We wrote a book about Hillary Clinton called hrc in 2014. We kept going. So, we talked to people on her campaign staff, people in the larger clinton world, people on the republican side, people at the dnc and various institutions involved in this Political Campaign and basically put together the interviews and wrote it up to campaign. As we go through the book, you are saying some of this could have been seen early on. What was it . What were those signs you could see . There were a series of factors that opened the door for donald trump. Number one, Hillary Clintons email server, which came to light in march of 2015, a month before she entered the race and hung as a cloud over the campaign the entire time. Talking about jim comey, the fbi her, you have to remember, he wouldnt have been in the position he was in if it werent for her having an email server outside the state department system. She had trouble developing a message that a lot of voters receive as being about them, more than about her. They are trying to figure out why her, why now . She had trouble articulating that. Those are the keys. You talked about her leadership style. It didnt work for her. It was a little bit of a cluster of a campaign in a lot of ways. Tangled lines of authority. Two people were kind of in charge, a Campaign Chairman and manager. A lot of the people on the campaign didnt know who was in charge, who was making decisions at particular times. When she decided to restructure that, which she did quietly, instead of one person in charge, six people were in charge. She had a board of directors called the super six. There was deep into the campaign about who was in charge, who was making decisions. I think that made it difficult to get things done. After all this, she was still the democrats frontrunner. What do you think was the nail in the coffin that really doomed this . Was it something that came in a week before, a month before . What was to blame for the failed campaign . I think a perfect storm of things. You know, more than anything else, i think that it was unforced errors on the part of the Clinton Campaign that really, i mean she might have won by a lot had she not had the unforced errors. It wouldnt have been so close and donald trump wouldnt have been in striking distance. He did things no one would have gotten away with and is now the president of the united states. The book titled shattered. We appreciate you being with us. You can find the book and read ul. That not only sent a plane from taking off, but sent medical crews to the scene.
