(17,851 posts)I get it, and I understand as a Clinton voter what that means, and I get it because I'm an internet nerd. But every single time Sec Clinton said "Go to my website.." in response to questions, I honestly cringed. A better response would have been here's where I stand and if you'd like more details then check out my website. Still, encouraging voters to make two steps to a website instead of one in hearing what positions she actually stood for, that was one of the many flaws in the clinton campaign, at least in my mind. The message must be clear and succinct and many times the Clinton campaign was too quick to say "well, check out our website." Most people will not make that effort. The details on the website should have been laid out daily...again and again. Sadly, even if Sec Clinton had done that, the free press that Trump received on a daily basis by calling in to the various morning shows and other means of exposure would likely have given us the same results.
