      Polls weren’t way off though. Closer than 2012

      But the polls were wrong, and the point is that Jeet is just remarking about 2016 as if it was a level playing field in the face of all the evidence that it wasn’t.

      They weren’t wrong. Trump had a decent chance to win and he did (Russian interference may have had an effect; that was reflected in polls.)

      Uh, maybe you should A. Look at the dates of when those polls went in to & came out of the field B. Check out the date of the first Comey letter

      Also check out the date of the second Comey letter, which pollsters on both sides say provided the final movement to get Trump the win.

      I don't think you can decontextualize Comey from election strategy. Comey had a big impact because Clinton campaign demobilized many Dems & banked so much on suburban GOP crossover votes, the very people likely to be moved by Comey saying Clinton is crooked.

      That first sentence may be the dumbest thing I’ve read about the 2016 election. People who opposed the Iraq War blew it in 1999, because they should have planned for the stolen 2000 election and for the attacks on 9-11.

      As I understand it, the argument is that Democratic strategists shouldn't be expected to anticipate GOP ratfucking, despite history of GOP ratfucking going back decades & GOP candidate mentored by Roy Cohn & Roger Stone.

      Elections are decided by more than one factor. Russian interference & voter suppression was one factor. The strategic errors of the Clinton campaign were another. In a close election (80,000 votes in 3 states), many different factors could have been tipping point.

          sure. but every campaign makes strategic errors. Trump's campaign made tons of them. (Losing every debate for starters.) Was Clinton's campaign really especially incompetent? or were fundamentals just against her?

          there's this assumption that it should have been a blowout, but there's little evidence that candidate quality makes a huge difference in presidential contests in that way. Trump underperformed GOP expectations. Just not enough.
