      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?

      No, the lesson is that Clinton geared her campaign in a way that demobilized many previous Dem voters with a view to winning GOP voters, which didn't work out the way she planned. So those who advocated this strategy should take responsibility for what they did.

          Which demographics are you pointing to that saw precipitous declines in turnout rates based on the behavior that you're describing? Do you have, you know "data" or is this a Canadian literary blogger trying to do political data thing.

          Here's a complicating factor: 18-29 turnout in 2016 was higher than it was in 2012, 2004, and 2000. It wasn't higher than 2008, but Obama blew the doors off things.

          "On race/identity Hillary ran to the left of Obama" her considerable baggage (super-predators etc) made her a bad carrier for this message, something GOP & Russian propaganda exploited to discourage African-American voters, especially young ones.

          The funny thing is she actually did get a ton of suburban voters, just in the wrong states. It’s why Texas was closer than Iowa.
