    These new numbers make the Clinton campaigns 2016 strategy look worse, not better. There are many,many more non-college voters than college voters.https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/968515730022027264 …

    It's increasingly clear that Clinton didn't just win college educated white voters, but probably won them by a large, even double digit margin. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/upshot/trump-losing-college-educated-whites-he-never-won-them-in-the-first-place.html … pic.twitter.com/Oz2I9OCP6m

        The unacknowledged truth of 2016 was that Clinton, by chasing suburban Republican voters, blew the Obama coalition to smithereens. Hence the electoral college loss.

        Clintons pursuit of suburban Republicans not only wrote off white working class votes but also, I think, helped depress black & Latino working class vote.

        Do these numbers really reflect Clinton’s strategy (as opposed to actual appeal)?

        Replying to @FisherBurton @HeerJeet

        I feel like not a whole lot of Baby Boomers are progressives. I think most of this is coming from Gen X and younger. I think Baby Boomers are too used to the old-style of politics. Most of them have internalized all those flaws of the party.

        Maybe it is wrong to break it down into these categories because it alienates potential allies. But I am really mad at that Baby Boomer generation. The DLC was their generation of politics.

        Too much outside influence went on to be bashing strategies. We still have no idea how many votes were affected.

        Replying to @RyanRSiemers @HeerJeet

        Her TV ad campaign was designed to get suburban Republicans, and evidence shows that it actually worked to get them. Problem was the huge defection and turnout boost of whites without a college degree and mediocre base turnout in the rust belt.

        Replying to @darlingCorinne @RyanRSiemers @HeerJeet

        It’s debatable how influential TV ads are, but I think it would’ve helped to do a few lefty populist ads in the rust belt, considering that her economic policy agenda was to the left of Obama, who won the rust belt with a similar ad campaign.

        Those ads with the little girls being sad that Trump was mean were obviously aimed at suburban swing voter types. But acting as though that was the whole Clinton campaign is stupid.
