- noobermin 8y agoIn many ways being too data driven whilst disregarding basic political wisdom (like actually campaigning in swing states) was more of a downfall.
- specialist 8y agoNo. HRC's campaign knew MI, MN, PA would be close. They just didn't factor in the wide spread, targeted voter disenfranchisement. For instance, ~200k voters in WI were blocked, concentrated in urban areas like Milwaukee.
- specialist 8y agoHRC's greatest sins, why she lost, in rank order, are the electoral college, the 2m disenfranchised voters, not being a racist, not being given $3b in earned media (free advertising), and not being Putin's toady. PS- I'm not forgetting Comey's sabotage. I just don't know where the 2.5% swing it caused fits into this list. Probably #4.
