I think you raise an excellent point. All this analysis and political handwringing over “Hillary’s loss” seems to have the distinct feel of trying to undermine Trump. As in, everyone knew Hillary should have won. How could it have possibly occurred that Hillary lost? Hillary’s loss is an unexplainable phenomenon.
The fact is, the country was sick to death of Obama and Democrats, as demonstrated by the loss of 1,000 Democrats in the past number of years. The fact is Trump was an outsider who promised change and to drain the swamp. That resonated with Americans who wanted change.
The honest story is, despite Obama, Democrats, and the media’s greatest effort to steal this election, Trump won. The story is not, how did Hillary lose.
IMO, these analyses have become a cottage industry. I put them in the "If Hitler had won the War" fantasies.
