A belated welcome to Wikipedia! Now that you're an official ''Registered User'', here's a coupe of items for your user page if you like. You can find other User Boxes to chose from [[WP:UBX#Interests and tastes|'''here''']]. Once again, welcome. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 02:41, 21 November 2016 (UTC) |

:Thanks! Still doing my best reading though all the best practices and formatting. So many articles but looks like good info! [[User:PackMecEng|PackMecEng]] ([[User talk:PackMecEng#top|talk]]) 03:16, 21 November 2016 (UTC) |

::Glad I can help. I took the liberty of putting these items on your '''User''' page, (this is your '''Talk''' page) along with a userbox that says you're interested in history, assuming you are of course -- naturally you can add and remove [[WP:UBX/HISTORY|whatever]] you like.<br>Also, you might want to familiarize yourself with [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]] if you haven't already. This is where you'll find all of Wikipedias policcies and guidelines. Don't be overwhelmed. Virtually no one knows all the rules by heart, but at least you know where to look if and when issues come up. See you around! -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 18:43, 21 November 2016 (UTC) |

I had never run across that alleged strategy. Thanks much for posting the politico link,[http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/hillary-clinton-2016-donald-trump-214428] it is a goldmine of factoids. Most of them belong over in [[USPE, 2016]] rather than in [[Donald Trump]] of course (or in the campaign-specific spinoff articles), but it does have a lot of explanatory power. Not only was the polling bad -- politico's conclusion-paragraph on November 7th about the ups and downs of the Clinton'16 campaign which ended on a clear confident victory-note sounds ironic in the present timeframe with the benefit of hindsight -- but the switcheroo from the various estab-backed candidates to an unexpected anti-estab candidate redrew the swingstate-map, and at a time when Clinton'16 was tied up fighting off Sanders'16 on their left... making them unable to properly reposition their stances aka run to the middle, because not only were they fighting a rear-guard action against the liberal wing of the party they were no longer running to the same middle they had always planned on! I would be interested in seeing if the messaging and spending patterns of the DNC, and also of the Clinton'16 campaign and affiliated PACs, with respect to the various potential repub nom contenders, justifies the idea of the alleged Pied Piper strategy. It would be [[WP:OR]] just digging for the raw numbers as wikipedians, but if we can find an analysis-piece that was performed by a third-party journalist or political scientist or somesuch, that would count as [[WP:RS]]. In any case, appreciate you finding that URL, made my day :-) [[Special:Contributions/47.222.203.135|47.222.203.135]] ([[User talk:47.222.203.135|talk]]) 00:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC) |

:Thanks! I was looking a bit while at work and didn't see anything jump out at me. I had planned on looking a bit more. If I find anything worthwhile I will certainly let you know though. Feels rather ironic considering how things eventually turned out though. [[User:PackMecEng|PackMecEng]] ([[User talk:PackMecEng#top|talk]]) 03:05, 14 January 2017 (UTC) |
