28. A bit unfair. No one foresaw people who were new and sporadic voters coming out

Nov 5

of the woodwork to vote for Trump.

30+ years of RW attacks on the Clintons took their toll. Americans were already polarized about her as a candidate. Comey's late presser just added another log to the fire. Further she did not/does not have the same political skills as her husband. And she ran a bad campaign, not just in Pennsylvania but all the upper midwest. She focused on the solid blue areas and depended on media/TV ads for the other areas of the states.

I know in PA, had she gotten the same number of votes as Josh Shapiro, who was running for Atty Genl then, in just 10 counties, she'd have won.
