      More logical approach 4 years later to tie Trump to GOP. Voters in 2016 were more apt to separate Trump from downticket Rs. Hillary's problem was that she only took the strategy halfway, & didn't actually offer anything to voters who disliked Trump but were fine with normal Rs.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1121431000528109573 …

      This is crucial: politically it's better for Dems to run against Trump as the face of the GOP, not as an outlier to an otherwise healthy system. But Biden is gearing up to make the same mistake Hillary Clinton did in 2016. https://twitter.com/AthertonKD/status/1121401596112330752 …

      If Democrats in 2016 were serious about attracting the kinds of people who voted against Obama & Bill Clinton but didn't want Trump, Hillary was a uniquely poor messenger & she never gave those voters an olive branch of any kind.

      I don’t think this is right. Hillary actually did quite well converting Romney voters — look at her improvement in affluent suburbs. The problem is she bled away so many Obama voters simultaneously.

      The point - as with Trump replacing losses with new R voters - is your strategy needs enough of one to offset the other.

      Right, I just wonder how much better one could have done converting R voters. I think it’s more likely another candidate would have done better retaining working class white Obama voters and/or boosting black turnout.

      Michelle Obama would crush it.

      Wouldn't have worked in 2016, but she was the one 2020 candidate who could legit have cleared the field.
