      1. This is a core reality of 2016 that is still insufficiently appreciated.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/988186589263204352 …

      And as I will say until I die, Trump’s explicit racism changed the grounds on which the election itself was being fought, and reorganized the electorate.

      2. I would add though that Clinton campaign recognized that racism reorganized electorate & had a response which was superficially plausible but didn't pan out: appeal to college educated disaffected GOP to replace lost white working class Obama supporters.

      3. Clinton's pitch to college educated white Republicans failed because of geography (not enough in key states), Comey letter (which made her look as bad as Trump). It also, I think, discouraged many working class POC who then stayed home.

      4. There's no way to know whether an alternative strategy (say more economic populism to win back WWC & also energize working class POC) would've worked. What we know is that Clinton strategy didn't work.

      5. 2016 was extremely close election to a fluky degree: 70,000 votes in 3 states. But that means many different factors plausibly tipped the scale.

      6. Going forward, best to see that this was an epic SNAFU which many parties (Putin, GOP, media, Comey, third parties, Clinton strategy) to blame. Would need more self-reflection from most of these parties.

          Mostly a combination of racism and sexism.

          Clinton not just for strategy, but for doing the things which nearly got her prosecuted.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          I think part of the problem is that we want a unifying narrative to explain something as monumental as the 2016 election, which leads us to ignore the more likely option; everything just happened to go wrong.

          Not that self-reflection isn't necessary; I just question whether or not the realignment is as drastic as people claim.

          More of a FUBAR than a SNAFU, wouldn't you think?
