She couldn't engage Trump on a pro-business tax policy because she'd spent so much energy focusing on the part of her tax policy where she promised to punish and soak the rich, which she didn't even really believe in. She couldn't fight back in a defense of globalism because her own base had put a gun to her head and told her to condemn it. You all may be expecting me to blame Bernie or the activist left for this, but this is entirely Hillary's fault. I pointed out way back in the primary that she was taking the easy way out by essentially ceding the whole policy stage to Bernie rather than standing her ground and arguing the difference between them. If she had the confidence to argue her positions or the integrity to maintain them, she wouldn't have had this problem.
This is where she lost my vote to Johnson. Good analysis. The future of the Democratic Party should be a pluralistic, globalist, fiscally responsible one.
