What it says is that she managed to win something that only she was trying for, at the cost of losing the presidency. It seems pretty clear that the Clinton campaign took resources away from states she needed to win the election and put them into boosting turnout in safe states to make sure she won the popular vote, based on the arrogant assumption that the presidency was hers for sure and a complete failure to actually pay enough attention to those states to realise how screwed she was until far too late. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, knew they had to focus all their resources on winning to stand a chance and seem to have done a much better job of updating their assumptions based on new evidence.
