You know the story:
Obama's grassroots movement.
Hillary underestimated it...
The media failed to see it coming...
It's a "new" kind of politics.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Obama tapped into movements that already existed with strategic communications, and a politicized generation coming of age during a time of war, economic crisis and historic inequality and environmental catastrophe. It's not a new analysis. Hillary didn't underestimate it and the media didn't fail to see it, they didn't even know they were out there.
Talk about being out of touch.
