Yep. Because stopping Hillary became their #1 goal and if we were going to nominate a candidate like Clinton, we should have had a strong, credible and effective response to this sentiment.

And we didn't. The campaign's response was pretty much "that guy's a monster" instead of addressing the very real concerns voters had with trusting her.
