      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...

      The popular vote and $2 won't get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Dems performed well in last 2 years because Trump is widely hated. He was widely hated in 2016 too but Clinton managed to lose to him, which suggests a flawed campaign strategy.

      Or maybe hated incumbents work somewhat differently. (Lots of research suggests they do)

      HRC's campaign was plainly flawed. But wasn't its central message – its only message? – that Trump is a volatile nightmare person? If anything she probably dwelled on it too much. He had no record. It was an abstraction.pic.twitter.com/LkDMxgnaOt

      Idk...she had a lot morepolixy specifics than trump, and was less focused on him personally than he was on her by a lot.

      Her discussion of Trump's danger was diluted by her insistence of presenting herself as a hawkish Democrat. Asked in 2015 who her enemy was, she said "the Iranians." Do you think that's a good message?

      The question isn’t whether HRC’s message about Iran in 2015 was good. The question is what does her 2015 statement on Iran have to do with...anything?

      If you go to the beginning of this idiotic thread you'll see it began with me tweeting about Trump's policy right now. And then someone jumped in complaining about people who portrayed Trump as a peacenik. This provoked me to note that Clinton's campaign is more to blame.pic.twitter.com/RPnmCRMrSl

      How many people portrayed Trump as a peacenik? Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful (Justin Raimondo, Michael Tracey, Glenn Greenwald). I see these people as having less of an impact than the misjudgements of the Clinton campaign.

          For all her faults, it strikes me as odd to blame Clinton for Trump's foreign policy when she not only (loudly) warned against it, but also tried to prevent it from transpiring. Is that what you imagine that you (or anyone in your role) did…?

          Obviously you're not the only one who sees her as accountable. But if that's the standard, why do you suppose it is that people don't hold Al Gore responsible for the Iraq War? Anyway the idea that Clinton painted Trump as a dove, directly or by comparison, is truly nuts

          the Intercept ran daily stories on the stolen podesta emails where they treated irrelevant gossip as major corruption stories. sure it wasn’t as influential as the infamous NYT front page but it’s bizarre to think it didn’t have a significant effect.
