Overrated? Dude, she lost.
Anyways, while it's easy for people like me to say her ground game sucked. . . . .. . what else was she supposed to do with the narrative that was out in 2016? Polls consistently showed her way up and there might have been like 2 polls in Michigan for every 12 to 16 polls for Texas and Georgia. The media and the pollsters, not just Clinton's campaign, took it for granted in that environment with such strong suburban trends towards Clinton in the polling that Clinton didn't need to cover her ass and invest as much money and time in the Midwestern states. The assumption of a Clinton victory was so strong that instead of focusing efforts on making sure those two decade plus Democratic voting states stayed in the column efforts were instead focused in trying to flip states like Arizona, Georgia, and Texas to "expand the base".
So yeah, her game might have been overrated, but so was a lot of the information she was given/relied upon to make up her ground game. If anything it can be concluded the Narrative was overrated, but that's just me.
