      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.

      "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.

      Again, to back that up, do you have any of those exotic artifacts known as “numbers?” Jeet, have you ever canvassed, or watched a focus group? Over the last ten years, have you spoken to any Americans not in greater NYC & not on Twitter?

      Dana, you're defending a campaign that had the worst Democratic Party electoral showing since 1988 against a realty show buffoon who boasted on tape of grabbing women by the pussy. Do you need numbers to know that campaign fucked up?

          Fun facts! Dukakis in 1988 lost popular vote by 7.8 pts; Clinton won it by 2.1. Dukakis' electoral college vote was 111; Clinton's was more that twice that at 227. Dukakis lost California by 4.5 pts; Clinton won CA by 30. Yay @heerjeet with misleading historical comparisons!

          She won the popular vote. Maybe it’s hard to win third terms and trump didn’t quite underperform enough. Dems did well last two years in any case, so doesn’t seem like there’s a permanent problem w their approach...

          Surely winning the popular vote by such a huge huge margin and then failing in key strategic states is a clear indication of poor dem strategy? So the campaign team, not Clinton failed?

          Jeet, unlike you, this is neither defending or attacking Hillary’s I didn’t spend months looking at & thinking about election data to protect or defeat some “side,” I did it because I want to know the truth, & do better next time.

          And FTR, I do have criticisms. I have issues w their canvass strategy, how they did & didn’t respond to canvass data to adjust their model, allocation of resources, how they used their FO’s...you know, stuff that was crucial that I’m confident you’ve never thought about

          I really wish that people who got the exact outcome they campaigned for out of the 2016 election would stop trying to frame that outcome as someone else's failure.

          Also, anyone who wants to frame the outcome of 2016 as "Hillary's failure" without mentioning things like voter ID, the DNC attacks, Trump's foreign collusion, the breeches of voter systems in FL, etc., is necessarily providing cover for all those things to happen again in 2020.

          She won more votes than anyone besides Obama. where does the Republican responsibility lie? That's who selected the reality show buffoon and sexual predator as their standard bearer. And they cheated every way they could to elect him. But yeah bad messaging was the problem. Sadhu
