Regression is great for some things. The method misled before the election to how race/sexism/econ plays out; it does now. Be multi-method.https://twitter.com/BWJones/status/815977736481083392 …

A lot of stories of the 2016 election but a big is how the mismatch between research question and method has misled so many people.

Regressions of *attitudes* on surveys or (current) income haven't highlighted the insights folks needed before the election, aren't now.

If anything, using regression to say it wasn't econ issues rather than understanding the complex interaction underwrote the losing strategy.

It's.. interesting how little post-mortem there has been on what was wrong with the prevalent analyses among Dems. Don't learn=repeat.

I don't mean why didn't Clinton go to x state. I mean: what was the theory of the electorate, and why it was wrong. Because it was wrong.

But misses the Q. Why was it such a close election? Trump, too, had no shortage of scandals. Why did RU & FBI matter?https://twitter.com/MikeStaresinic/status/817019353665257472 …
