      2. My biggest mistake in 2016 was massively underestimating intensity of hostility towards Hillary Clinton on both left & right.

      3. Trump brought together enough of GOP coalition to win & Clinton's lost enough of Dem coalition for same reason: Clinton's unpopularity

      4. I had read articles making plausible arguments about Clinton's weaknesses as a candidate like this from @karpmjhttps://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/02/karp-bernie-sanders-electability-clinton-republicans-trump-election/ …

      6. I had tended to discount such articles because, based on 2008/2012, I assumed Dems would run super competent campaign (GOTV etc).

      7. In Dem primaries I preferred Sanders for political reasons but thought (wrongly) that Clinton had better shot at winning presidency

      8. Connected: I had doubts about Clinton's strategy of pursuing moderate Republican voters, which I voiced but should have foregrounded

      9. @ggreenwald is right on journalistic responsibility here but the proviso is 2016 presented a special challenge:https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/856166415405076481 …

      Of course. Journalism can definitely influence elections. Its goal should be to disclose relevant information about the candidates.

          10. American journalism has framework for evaluating 2 party races where both candidates roughly equivalent in qualities. 2016 not like that

          2016 was a big test for American journalism, and large, important sectors of the industry bombed it. Now we will all pay the price.

          Why does Greenwald get to police everyone else for 'being wrong' but never have to take a look at his own culpability?

          Seriously. I just want to see one fucking reporter admit that, given the situation, they oversold the Fake EMail Scandal.

          Greenwald is hardly objective tho. Sure he provides relevant info but he's also biased.
