2016 Postmortem

Actually they have stuck to her. Her net favorables are at historic lows and the word most associated with her in the General Electorate is dishonest. How can you say that is not sticking to her. I agree she is not dead or in jail or a mental word or shunned with a branded A across her face but she is a highly damaged candidate.

In the democratic party, she is divisive by policy not be personality. Half the democratic party does not like her issues and most importantly her war vote. Its not that she is disliked like republicans dislike her but that she causes the policy fractures in the democratic party to erupt because of the policies she articulates and her connection to some of the DLC policies of her husbands administration. This does meant she is an outcast, its just that the current problems with her electability were totally predictable if really looked at closely.

I use responsible perhaps wrongly although I can not think of a better word. If one is responsible then it is up to that person to learn from a mistake. If she loses it will be because of things that were predictable at the beginning of the primaries. Her supporters ignored these signs. If they come to grips with it maybe they will not do it again.
