1) Top messaging points... should lead from an economic standpoint (vs relying on attacking Trump's personality to get votes)

2) The candidate must spend time ("show up") in rural areas also.

3) .... (not sure if there is a bigger lesson to extract from this.... But... I thought Hillary may be in trouble- when she chose Kaine as VP, rather than Castro or maybe even Booker.. or possibly Heinrich.  I think Hillary would've won Florida & Arizona with Castro as VP.  Hillary only needed a small bump in Latino votes in AZ and FL... which Castro would've provided IMO.  .... Or... I think Booker would've made the difference in PA & Mich.... Plus Wisc or maybe FL... where Hillary underperformed in big cities like Detroit, Philly, & Milwaukee). ***I think Castro or Booker would've also helped increase the Under 30 vote for Hillary... which could've helped make a difference given how close many states were.
