Everyone seems to have a strong opinion about why Hillary Clinton lost.
Clinton herself -- as explained in her new memoir "What Happened" -- puts blame on her campaign, the news media, former FBI director James Comey and WikiLeaks. Donald Trump tweeted this morning that "Crooked Hillary" was simply a "bad candidate."
And now Stan Greenberg, the man who served as the lead pollster for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign (and Al Gore's 2000 campaign) has written a long essay titled "How She Lost" that slams Clinton (and her campaign) for a series of messaging, tactical and broader strategic errors.
Greenberg concludes:
"For me, the most glaring examples include the Clinton campaign's over-dependence on technical analytics; its failure to run campaigns to win the battleground states; the decision to focus on the rainbow base and identity politics at the expense of the working class; and the failure to address the candidate's growing 'trust problem,' to learn from events and reposition."(continued)

What ever you do, don’t tell them that. Please, let the dems go full on identity politics - they need to wander in the political desert for 40 years.
Bill Clinton has actually been a pretty busy
old bee. He’s cowriting a thriller.
‘The President Is Missing, which is set to be published in June 2018, hit the Hollywood marketplace at the beginning of August when Clinton flew to Los Angeles to pitch it alongside [James] Patterson. Word is the duo had 16 meetings with film & TV studios, cable and streaming networks as well as producers, directors and financiers. Leslie Moonves, chairman and CEO of Showtime parent CBS Corp., is said to have helped secure the book for the pay cable network via his longstanding relationship with Clinton. Additionally, Patterson is in the CBS family. He has had an overall deal at CBS TV Studios and has two series on CBS, Zoo and the upcomingInstinct, as well as projects in development at the broadcast network.’
