    There's a few things I got wrong in this May 2019 thread but the general thrust I think still stands.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1124697440848949249 …

    1. It increasingly feels like Biden, if he's the Democratic nominee, will be Hilary Clinton 2.0, but worse. A campaign based on personal revulsion against Trump, nostalgia for normal politics, & outreach to moderate Republicans. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1124667509242777600 …

        his campaign pretty much ignored Trump (no deplorable speech) and the only outreach was to the left

        The thing is, I am pretty sure that ANY of the other candidates would have lost before 10 to Trump So then further radicalization would happen both ways There would be violence because normal political channels would be closed for change Maybe that is what Berners want....

        He did campaign better than you or anyone thought he would. And the broad coalition held all the way through the election. These were not preordained things.

        Yeah but what if Biden wins because he won just enough moderate Republicans to squeak out victories in the exact Midwest states where Hillary lost the election largely because she was unable to do the same?

        That is kind of what he is saying. They didn't turn Republicans as much as motivated Democrats, including recent Democrats from the professional classes who were Republicans 10 years ago. It is broad coalition, but weak vis a vis the EC and Senate.

        Last night makes Hillary's campaign of 2016 look very strong in retrospect. That she came almost as close in spite of insane headwinds and without Trump having done insane things, in hindsight looks impressive now. Sad that she took so much heat from the likes of @jbarro

        If there's a candidate that you think would have won a landslide victory, please name them. Otherwise, at some point, you're just going to have to accept that a lot of voters don't want the same things you do. It's not a function of campaign style.
