Inside the Clinton Shake-Up
Hillary Clinton, Sunday’s departure of her campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, has gotten tons of attention,
she was fired
oined the term “Hillaryland”
Solis Doyle is her oft-repeated line: “When I’m speaking, Hillary is speaking.”
It is revealing both because it is true and because it conveys—and even flaunts—an arrogance that I think is the key to understanding all that has gone wrong for the Clinton campaign.
Solis Doyle was not the architect of the Clinton strategy
she made Solis Doyle her campaign manager because of Solis Doyle’s loyalty, rather than her skill, despite a trail of available evidence suggesting she was unsuited for the role.
The frequent turnover in the fund-raising shop was a significant measure of Solis Doyle’s unpopularity.
Fund-raising under Solis Doyle was a glaring exception, chalking up the kind of body count you’d expect from an episode of The Sopranos.
She was infamous among her colleagues for referring to herself as “the queen bee” and for her habit of watching daytime soap operas in her office.
One frequent complaint among donors and outside advisers was that Solis Doyle often did not return calls or demonstrate the attention required in her position.
Concerns about Solis Doyle have preoccupied many in the campaign for several years.
ought and failed to have Solis Doyle removed two years ago.
But because of Solis Doyle’s proximity to Hillary Clinton, because she demonstrated the loyalty and discretion Clinton so prized, and because no one appeared capable of challenging Clinton’s presumed status as the Democratic nominee-in-waiting, nothing was done.
