I think that credits them with way too much. Ignores strong third-party, ignores Comey, ignore too many factors beyond control.
You've just laid out a number of things he affirmatively did that led to win. You're not the EC, remember. @Susan_Hennessey

I mean, MAYBE losing debates hurt him. The rest helped him.
@Susan_Hennessey -
Disagree; there are plenty of data things like Khans, Machado, etc hurt him
-
Sure. And data that Hillary did things--many things--that hurt her. That's not measure of strategy.
@Susan_Hennessey -
THE ENTIRE CONTEST is can you put together a coalition to win EC? Hillary made wrong calculations, lost.
@Susan_Hennessey -
If you put together a winning EC coalition by being a boorish racist sexist ass? You still win! Democracy!
@Susan_Hennessey -
if you do so by exploiting the media -- just like Kennedy did? You win!

@Susan_Hennessey -
But there's no basis for that. You're not EC. Offending you happens to be popular in parts of this country.
