      Or: Romney had run an explicitly racist/nativist campaign--bluntly triggering much of white America as Trump did--he would have won too!

      Romney's campaign had plenty of barely coded nativism ("self-deportation"). His profile as a plutocrat lost him traction with WWC.

      True enough, but he still wasn't on Trump's level.

      Also Trump got smaller % of total vote than Romney did. Real story of 2016 was splintering and downturn of Dem voters

      That's very true, too. 6% to third parties > than 2% in 2012.

      My working theory is that by chasing GOP voters Hillary tore apart Obama coalition. Question now is if it can be re-created.

          Recognize that basically any explanation needs to be about white ppl in states bordering Canada/Great Lakes

          The rest of the obama coalition held up quite well and expanded. Did going for Romney voters alienate white pensyltuckyans?

          Historically fighting a nomination through to the convention splinters a party. Ted Kennedy in '80 is an infamous example.

          More true of Hillary in 2008 than of Bernie in 2016, though.

          Maybe. Also possible that negative campaign/dirty tricks vs. Hillary and her lack of charisma was what shaved down Obama coalition.

          You're probably charming. After 25 yrs of Murdoch running daily bad pictures + stories about you, many might say you lack charisma too.

          She didn't chase GOP voters. That's a myth. She doubled down on POC voters w/some appeals to GOP women b/c of Trump's mysogyny,

          👆🏼 This right here. I canvassed and phone banked my ass off. These were our targets. We beat the bushes for 'sometimes' voters too.
