I know, she won the popular vote. We all know these elections come down to the "battleground states" and the angry cacs that live in them. I remember '08 and '12. I remember the "Rednecks for Obama" and "White Guys for Obama" signs. I remember some blue collar guys in shops across the country going "You know... I think I'll vote for Obama. He's alright."

None of that happened with Hillary this time and it's because she did not even try to get that vote. Never once during this entire campaign did Hillary lift a finger to get that particular vote, which she desperately needed. Her supporters labelled anyone who mentioned this issue "Bernie Bros."

If I'm wrong, please show me. But to my recollection, it was obvious that she needed support from those white guys in Pennsylvania and she didn't even try to get it.

You're right and its painful how little she cared. She was napping while trump hit up 3, 4 states a day.

Hubris. She thought she was Obama. She believed she didn't have to put in the work and that people would come running to her. She spent more time hobnobbing with rich donors in NY and CA than in WI, OH and MI.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
:mjlol:She never campaigned in Wisconsin.

She basically lost to Obama the same way she lost to trump. The popular vote doesn't matter because of how disproportionate the population is from one state to the next. It's all about ELECTORIAL VOTES, and in the Midwest you can't take those states for granted.

Obama gave this bytch the template when he beat her. Bernie took that template, ran with it and took it to the next level. It took the DNC's bias for Hillary to beat him. BUT STILL she didn't learn.

TRUMP was smart enough to look at Obama's template and was on some :dwillhuh::ld::leon:.. used it to his advantage and won.

Breh, it's like how could she, her team and the DNC be so arrogant after what happened in 2008?

Let's go back to the Primary debates. They were scheduling the debates on Saturday nights in order to hide her from scrunity. She avoided interviews and gave very few press conferences, they opted for closed primaries to protect her from independents.

They actually weakened her as a candidate in their arrogant attempts to coronate her. Same thing they did in Iowa when Obama whipped her ass. She deserved this embarrassing ass whooping. I feel bad for her from a human level, but this was all her and her teams making.

:mindblown:

I dont think extra campaigning would've helped. Those people already made up their minds on her.
I think you're right, but to not even try? To just write off the group you certainly needed? This is why I don't buy these conspiracy theories about the Clintons being criminal masterminds. Bubba and his dorky wife are dumb hicks who drink too much.

The DNC ensured her they would take care of Sanders (which they did).

Then simply sat back on some :jawalrus: knowing the voter turnout for Trump wouldn't be that strong (which it wasn't), and totally ignored Obama's base. And I say Obama because people who voted for Obama in the 2008 primaries voted against her. So again. Just like in 2008 where she though her coalition and supporters were stronger than Obama's, she ran the exact same platform and lost.

True and she got sick on 9/11. If not for the tape? that was game. You're right about the donors and the first time he pulled ahead in the polls? During August when she was off the hamptons with paul mccartney.

Trump spent 240m the entire campaign.
Take a fight lightly and you're liable to get knocked the fukk out. :manny:
Amen.

she failed because she campaigned literally on maintaining the status quo in a time when the gap between the 1% and 99% has never been larger and the rich are getting richer

trump finessed her into campaigning on "america is already great" just because its the opposite of Make america great again
