How is that a "region" you named several regions.

Replying to @xenocryptsite @CarlPaulus and
Look in other contexts you have said both Clinton and Trump had "broad coalitions" and now you're saying Democrats are a "regional party." Do you understand why I think we need to come up with clearer standards to have a useful discussion?

When you look at the map of where each candidate won *majorities* of the vote, the geographic narrowness of HRC's coalition is pretty apparent.pic.twitter.com/az7YIdLttT

Honestly I think looking at which areas are red and blue on a map is a very bad way to try to approach these questions. Can you phrase the same point without the map?

Hillary won a majority of the vote in the fewest states of any national candidate since Bob Dole.https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/hillary-clinton-president-california/ …

The purple party here only has a majority in one of the three communities. Does it follow that the orange party should run the government?pic.twitter.com/WjfGNmiCjC

I respectfully submit that you will find most of the answers to your questions in the three columns of mine I have already linked in this thread. Bonus question: should Cleveland have won the 1888 election? Consider *how* he won the popular vote in the South 61-37.

I mean, I think that Black people and women should have been allowed to vote throughout, if that's your question.

My point is that the Democrat-controlled areas *disproportionately* denied Republican groups (black voters) the right to vote. The EC limited the effect of that. In a national popular vote regime, Cleveland got more votes. Should that be a win? Yes or no.

If we're counting those votes at all, then, yes. Actually, I think that absent the Electoral College, national Republicans might have cared more about the margins in the Solid South instead of writing off the region, although I don't know the history there.

This, then, gets back to the point from my column (ahem) that a different system would require a wholesale change in how votes are courted, counted, & all sorts of other incentives.

Doesn't sound like a bad thing to me prima facie.
