Personally, I think the country is imperiled if they continue to ignore it.I think the biggest of those half dozen or so reasons were self inflicted. She blew off the party's base in the rust belt states (blue firewall states) with statements like: "And yes we will put alot of coal miners out of business." And her statement declaring half of Trump's supporters as deplorables led to a surge of Trump voters who were otherwise on the fence in regards to showing up to vote. As for the "It should not have been close" aspect, if it were any other presidential election previous to 2016, I would agree. Trump would not have made it past the GOP field much less the hildabeast. 2016 was different. Trump tapped into a populist movement that the establishment in both parties ignored. And if they underestimate Trump and the movement again in 2020, they will do so at their own peril.

But maybe we need a bunch of pain to get rid of some of this bull****.
