Hillary Clinton's campaign has lots of excuses for losing. There's the electoral college, James Comey, the media's alleged over-exuberance in digging into Clinton's email server, etc. But Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Thursday that one particular group is especially to blame: millennials.
As Karen Tumulty and Philip Rucker reported from the big election postmortem at Harvard on Thursday night:
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook also acknowledged that her operation had made a number of mistakes and miscalculations, while being buffeted by what he repeatedly described as a "headwind" of being an establishment candidate in a season where voters were anxious for change.
He noted, for example, that younger voters, perhaps assuming that Clinton was going to win, migrated to third-party candidates in the final days of the race.
Where the campaign needed to win upward of 60 percent of young voters, it was able to garner something "in the high 50s at the end of the day," Mook said. "That's why we lost."

...or Arkanside watch.
Screeching on television during the last two weeks didn’t help the psychopath. Psychopaths are usually able to hide their evil - she couldn’t do that. She’s a failed psycho.
Clinton was simply a terrible candidate. She's an abhorrent person that most people wouldn't give the time of day. She's about as authentic as astroturf. Her "empathy" is as fake as a DDD-sized silcone implant.
Hillary is the living embodiment of the joke about having to tie a bone around the neck of a child so the dog will play with her. The only difference is her "bone" was the hope that her various hanger-on's could ride her coattails to power and influence in the federal government.
If she would ever sit in front of a psychiatrist for more than a few minutes, she would immediately be diagnosed with several different personality disorders.
With any hope, she will disappear forever. I'll be happy if I never hear the Clinton (or Bush) name again.
Anybody know, precisely, what a ‘millennial’ is... I mean, the exact age bracket?
Hilary never once discussed the economy and jobs the entire time between the Democratic Convention and the general election.
Incredible but true.
Her campaign thought they could insulate her and keep her from having to answer any questions. They thought the media would do enough to make up for her lack of access and lack of campaigning.
Speaking of Obamaphones, I guess they get switched off on Jauary 20th.
Her choices regarding the economy:
1. Criticize it honestly, alienating obama - political suicide
2. Praise it dishonestly, alienating voters — political suicide
3. Ignore it entirely, hoping nobody notices — the path of least resistance
you can’t turn off the Obamaphones, they’re needed to get the D-vote to turn out (and for drug deals)
‘A normal Democrat could have won it in a walk.’
Normal Democrat? Extinct. Like the dodo.
I’m a milly. Unlike most I am not in college except to use the libraries. Most of my contemporaries were wild about Bernie but could not transfer their allegiance to Clinton. The usual reason was — wait for it — Clinton!
They weren’t keen on Trump either, but it’s easier to simply tune out. You don’t go to see one flick just because another doesn’t catch your interest; you skip the cineplex altogether.
Yes, they’re that bad.
Thanks. Good article; I never suspected Wikipedia would set out to define that.
Let’s see. She didn’t campaign. She went to fundraisers and then slept it off for a week. She had no message. She had no accomplishments. She sounds like the martians from Mars Attacks. She felt entitled and wanted to be anointed instead of elected. And with that, she made it all about her.
Millennial looked at this and saw the old shrew who poured hot water on them when they played under her window. My daughter who is a lib didn’t vote for her because she stole the nomination from Bernie.
Funny how I was devastated when Reagan won in 1980, then ended up enthusiastically voting for him in 1984.
Or you could put the blame where it belongs on the radical extremism and corrupt incompetence of the current Democrat Party Leadership
Did you see in the leaked emails where one of her advisors asked if they could just run out the clock without facing the media (more than a month before the election)? Absolutely incredible...and it almost worked.
Didn’t Shillary make an appearance in the rust belt and say that she was going to close all the coal mines?
Isn’t that a discussion about jobs?
it IS perfectly natural, especially given the sad (propaganda-infested) character of much of our public schools these days,
for younger folks to believe some of the leftist promises
......
and it is perfectly natural for them to grow up and mature as they get a bit more experienced in their lives.

Babies, young children and dogs don’t like her either. Birds fall from the sky when she cackles. But, alas, they have no voice or they ALL would’ve voted for Trump, too!

Best. Election. Ever. EVER! :)
