    Clinton lost a winnable election because she pursued moderate Republican voters at the expense of trying to get out existing Obama voters.https://twitter.com/JoshuaHol/status/804739384465649664 …

        its a pretty underreported story, Times had one article, WP another, about PoC male vote declined. In the face of an overt racist

        I still believe her biggest mistake was not choosing Elizabeth Warren as running mate. Would have galvanized the millennials.

        That would've been a strategy of appealing to Democrats and not moderate Republicans.

        Any "because of this one factor" explanation too simplistic. It was a perfect storm of many things that went incrementally wrong

        Stop blaming Clinton. Time for those voters who didn't "get out" to take some ownership for being lazy, apathetic, and selfish

        Maybe, but she got some educated moderates to swing her way. Was some unbelievably irrational hatred of her from some on left.

        At time of DNC, I understood the rationale. Pursue those who are relatively open-minded over those who are clearly hostile.

        @JoshuaHol I think @EsotericCD lays out the case pretty clearly that this analysis is almost entirely false
