Why Clinton really lost

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

She didn't attack Trump as much for his (numerous) flaws, instead talking about his supporters ("deplorables", alt-right). OTOH Trump constantly slammed her, so that even when his accusations were baseless, they still didn't end up energizing Clinton's base like she did for Trump.

This is similar to the Brexit comparisons where the remain camp accused leave voters of being xenophobic or "little Englanders" rather than arguing against leaving the EU

Weak message

Instead, of giving people reason to vote her, she mostly gave reasons to vote against Trump

and i am still not buying the moral outrage re:brexit.

bremainers dissing leavers is a crime, the other way around just a sign of common frustration...does no one making this argument ever care that it sounds really condescending if only rural people without formal education have the right to be outraged? even if victorious: pure arrogance.
