Clinton confidante says former president bewildered by Dems’ messaging incoherence.
"He is just baffled and bewildered about why there has not been a more coherent message talking about what the party has done, why we allowed ourselves to become human pinatas," McAuliffe said.
Halperin's Take
Listen to any of Clinton's events closely and the frustration suggested in this article is manifest. He can't believe what the Republicans are getting away with, he can't believe how weak Democrats are at making their case, and/but he CAN believe (because after all these years, he's gotten used to to it) that the press is standing passively by and letting it all happen.
