Bill Clinton says he told Hillary to do that, and she ignored him.

She thought she could win with the minority coalition, and she could write off white "s*** kickers", as she called them.

But what if you can't get minorities out to vote for anyone other than a minority candidate? A minority candidate of their particular group?

And what if whites, who are still 71% of the electorate, have started to vote like they are an ethnic group?

Democrats have been disaggregating the US, turning one ethic group against another, for 40 years. This seems to be the logical outcome.

Considering the democrats lost the white working class vote decades ago there isn't really anything Hillary could do to get them back.
 
Pay no attention to the silent majority behind the election upset!!

The D's just didn't try hard enough with the innuits in alaska, better luck next time :)

Dividing the country isn't a winning solution. Neither is rioting.

She would have been better served by targeting "the working class" without making distinctions between white, minority, etc. Kind of like Trump did.

But then, she would probably have been branded a conservative by her own base and, maybe, lost anyway. (sucks to be Hillary, I guess)
