Opinion of Clinton appealing to nevertrumpers, suburban, educated whites?

Throughout the entire campaign Clinton tried very hard to appeal to GOP people & moderates. Remember the Dinner roast - All sensible Republicans are with her. The debates, TV interviews were about her. She didn't go hard on Minimum wage, Climate Change, Free Tuition etc & crafted a much more moderate tone.

The most surprising & stupid part for me was Clinton campaigned in Western Michigan counties like Kent the day before the election odd - Counties which Romney won 67% odd & Trump beat that number.

She could have campaigned for a higher turnout in Detroit IMO which would flipped Michigan.

How much of the GOP vote did she receive? I think historic lows - Not more than 2 or 3% at best. Trump energized his base & Hillary clearly failed?

Do you agree that this was an incredibly faulty strategy considering Republicans hate her more than anything?

Interesting to see that those of us interested in identity politics tend to be strong Hillary supporters and those of us interested in economics seem to be the Bernie folk. No wonder Hillary had a more diverse coalition.

Bernie landslided Alaskan Native Americans, Hawaiian Asians, Washington Hispanics, and so on. In Alameda county California, Bernie's worst city was the rich white city of Piedmont, while he won the most diverse major city in the country, Oakland, that surrounds it.

Bernie was a much stronger candidate among Asian Americans (landslide in the most diverse state of Hawaii), Native Americans & was as good as Hillary among hispanics by the early part of the voting.]

The only demographic Clinton won was Blacks - Who vote 88% or 90% or 92% to the Dems? Any random guy, even a racist or a guy from Atlas would get 80% of the Black vote just because they are a Dem!

This argument is completely wrong!

She normalized Republicans when she implied there are some worthy of being called "sensible."

Of anything, this served to benefit GOP wins at the local and state level, and perhaps in Congress.

Agreed! This severely hurt Downballot candidates & helped the GOP win Senate & House races. I also didn't see her doing much for a Feingold or a Ross in the Senate, she should have campaigned hard for strong progressives too - It was all about her!

It is also hilarious that Clinton fans think "Conventional" wisdom says that she could win Moderate GOP votes? Really? Was there 1 Poll where she was winning 20-25% of the Republican vote? She was constantly under 10% in almost all polls & this was only going to go lower - At worse it was going to Johnson or was staying undecided.

And if Hillary fans failed to see the intense hatred, dislike & disdain Republicans had for her, then you need to rewatch the entire campaign again!
