Clinton ignored people who live outside the trendy urban areas and also played fast and loose with the truth.

Never National Review! fake News.
H->! should never have stolen furniture from the WH.
I like Barone, though. He’s really not one of them.
Actually her honesty about Coal jobs cost her Pennsylvania and most likely Ohio.
FINALLY. This is the main reason she lost...dishonesty. The blame belongs to no one except Hillary Rodham Clinton.
National Review’s editors exhibited the very same contempt for Trump voters that Hillary Clinton did. I can’t believe they are being so brazen now.
I think all these post mortums of the election miss the actual issue that derailed Clinton and the Senate Dems.
Trump won traditonal blue areas ME-1, MI, PA, WI and almost won dark dark blue MN. MN has not gone GOP since Nixon in 1972.
What do all these areas have in common? Large numbers of blue collar hunters.
Feingold in WI was winning the election. He lost. Why? Towards the end of the elction he started talking about how Clinton would do EO on guns.
I think guns might be the new third rail of US Politics.
Is there a reason you provided such a short excerpt for this story?

“Never National Review! fake News.”
Actually, Michael Barone is one of the few fair, good guys. I’ve always liked him. He’s an honest man.
Yes. Sometimes "things" running in the background just refuse to allow me to copy and paste. You got the link, so stop complaining! LOL
Lock her up
But...but...but I thought it was the “social media”. LOL. Losers.
Three years ago I concluded that if this election came down to a Clinton vs. Bush contest, America was just going to walk into the voting booth and puke.
One of the parties solved their problem.
She’d just buy her way out.
This is just ONE of the most egregious.
FR POSTED REPORT: Hillary hadn’t even finished unpacking her things in her new office at the State Department after Barack Obama appointed her when a situation was dumped in her lap. The Swiss government was concerned that the IRS was suing UBS AG – one of the biggest banks in Switzerland – to get them to reveal the identities of tens of thousands of clients. (Wall Street Journal)
If the case proceeded, Switzerland’s largest bank would face an impossible choice: Violate Swiss secrecy laws by handing over the names, or refuse and face criminal charges in U.S. federal court.
Within months, Mrs. Clinton announced a tentative legal settlement—an unusual intervention by the top U.S. diplomat. UBS ultimately turned over information on 4,450 accounts, a fraction of the 52,000 sought by the IRS, an outcome that drew criticism from some lawmakers who wanted a more extensive crackdown.
Well, the Swiss may have gotten off pretty easy, but at least a compromise had been reached, right? Job well done, Mrs. Clinton. Peace is maintained between the US and an influential ally. And now we can all go about our business. Except for one disturbing aspect of the story which cropped up in the following months.
From that point on, UBS’s engagement with the Clinton family’s charitable organization increased. Total donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation grew from less than $60,000 through 2008 to a cumulative total of about $600,000 by the end of 2014, according the foundation and the bank.
The bank also joined the Clinton Foundation to launch entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs, through which it lent $32 million. And it paid former president Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of question-and-answer sessions with UBS Wealth Management Chief Executive Bob McCann, making UBS his biggest single corporate source of speech income disclosed since he left the White House.
The WSJ is quick to point out that there is no evidence of any link between these events, but at what point does coincidence become too much to ignore? You’re talking about one of the richest, most powerful financial entities on the planet who, up until Clinton took over at state, had given a grand total of $60K to the foundation. (An amount which likely fell well short of how much USB spent on coffee and donuts during the same period.) And then, in a matter of weeks, the cash spigots opened up and increased tenfold over the next six years.
Tens of millions in loans to efforts supported by the foundation were in addition to a direct set of cash deposits into Bill Clinton’s pocket totally $1.5M… not the foundation’s coffers. And if I remember correctly, Bill and Hill were still filing their taxes jointly at the time, weren’t they?
The Swiss bank got a truly sweet deal and millions of dollars flowed immediately thereafter into the accounts of both the Clintons and their foundation. So we are asked to accept that there no causal relationship between these two sets of data points. We can’t prove that there is absent some secret recording turning up, but at what point can the media say that this beggars belief and the empress has no clothes?
He’s an Establishment shill who covers it up a little better than some of them.
Michael Barone was pretty quiet this election.
Crooked Hillary, nuff said.
