Look, Clinton lost because:
1. She did not offer any thing other than she was not trump. That to many people means more of Obama. As it happens, an Obama without a republican congress is just about the best plausible thing that can happen to this deeply debased country. But the reality is much of electorate, under relentless GOP propaganda, does not see it this way. And politics is about knowing how people feel.
2. Real sound economic policy is way beyond the education or comprehension of precisely the segments of the uneducated population most angry at the economic situation. She failed to provide the basic necessity of successful politics in any democracy - bribery plus smoke and mirrors for the lowest of electorate.
2. She so consistently outpolled trump those who disliked her less than trump didn't feel they had to actually vote in her favor to keep trump out.
