I find this piece pretty shocking. There’s no reference to what actually happened. The original Biden staff (the so-called “dysfunctional”) against all odds, with 22 dems attacking Biden, plus Trump in the primary, with no money, WON THE NOMINATION. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/how-jennifer-omalley-dillon-transformed-joe-bidens-campaign/2020/08/14/d49de192-dbdd-11ea-8051-d5f887d73381_story.html
While I don’t doubt her talents, it’s far too early to declare victory. In truth, she came on after the war was won. To me, the most astounding moment of this campaign was how a scrappy team, bloodied and bruised, had somehow convinced every other major contender to fold.
Recall primary ads by GOP Hitting Biden. And this was as money rapidly dried up. After Iowa and NH, it was a feat to keep donors and supporters engaged and not flee. There was a strategic call to have Biden go to SC on the night of the NH primary. “Wait until Sourh Carolina.”
And they did convince folks, because even though he was second in Nevada, it was a distant second. But Biden had locked down the key Clyburn endorsement.
Biden crushed everyone in SC. He then cleaned up on Super Tuesday in a way that no one expected (see: first in MA). By the time Biden won Michigan, his lead was nearly insurmountable. Again, with no $, facing a progressive hero and a billionaire.
I think it was after all of this that JOD came on.
