      The Hillary the hawk article holds up pretty well, I think. It was a tragedy that Clinton decided to offer a foreign policy to the right of Obama's. That contributed to the splintering of votes & lower voter turnout that elected Trump.

      Dem turnout wasn’t a problem in most states; in many turnout of Dem-leaning constituencies exceeded 2012. Bigger factor was people voting for Johnson or Putin’s stooge because they fell for stupid shit about Hillary.

      No. It was lower on WI, and Trump also got fewer votes than Romney. But, you know, did you hear about that voter suppression stuff in Milwaukee, Kenosha, etc?

      PA it was fine. Almost everywhere black turnout was down, but in places (like PA) where there was an active field effort & no suppression the drop was small. In MI she ran better than Obama in several of the largest counties, but small rural counties he won in 2008 & lost in...

      ...2012 by 5-10 points, in those places she was slaughtered. Like, counties Obama won in 2008 but she lost by 50 points. I guess it was bc the Dem base in places like Roscommon & Hillsdale counties was de-mobilized by the Kissinger stuff.

      BTW, in PA, OH, MN, ME, NY, etc you had the same dynamic of traditionally Repub areas w a decent % of college grads & higher moving several points from Obama to Clinton, but a complete collapse of the Dem vote in the lower educational attainment rural white working class counties

      "For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia" -- Chuck Schumer. His math was a bit faulty.

      Ergo, Henry Kissinger? Who cares what Schumer said publicly. And did he say that before or after the Comey letters?

      Kissinger is a synecdoche for Clinton's all out pursuit of suburban Republican votes (as indicated also by Schumer quote). Comey had impact because those were very voters Clinton was banking on.

          I’ve found that in political & election analyses statistics are valuable, synecdoches not that much. If you actually have some, you know, _numbers_, please use them. If you don’t, you’re just doing Thomas Frank-style political belles lettres.
