Quote:Hillary Lost Pennsylvania and Mich, where she went a ton. I'm not sure that would have been a defining factor in Wisconson when it wasn't in other places.That would be a failure of message, not presence. You have to keep in mind that the rust belt is new to the whole "living in a wasteland" bit. As soon as it got as bad for them as it's been for rurals for decades..they went red just like the rurals.
Quote:The places she WON were places she never went and never had to go.The "in the bag category. She thought that Wisconsin was just such a place.
Quote:Her campaign failed in nearly every state she went for hard. Florida, NC, etc.Again, a failure of message. Turns out, she wasn't actually speaking to everyone her supporters -thought- she was speaking to. Or, to put it more bleakly, she was counting on the better angels of our nature, lol.
Right, I get that the message failed. I'm just pointing out that since her message did not resonate in the heartland and rust belt, it wouldn't have made a difference for her to visit Wisconson either. Acting like that was some huge failure and she might have otherwise won is silly.
But we NEED to end the coal industry, we need to regulate emissions. Her tax policies would still have helped them more than Trumps, but I guess their livelyhoods are threatened under greener policies, so I'm not sure what message she could have sent to appeal to both the social liberals in the cities that want these changes to be made, and the rural folks, who have good (if very short sighted) reasons not to.
