It's pointless to pretend that either candidate was just a few points shy of ideological purity, and that those who chose not to vote for them were just being stubborn.
Trump is the president because enough people in enough places voted for him. That's on them - not on people who didn't vote for him, or who failed to vote for you preferred candidate. Dems don;t need new blood, ideally they;'d get more than that. New blood with the same platform could only produce marginally better results - it would only sway those who agreed with hillary entirely but for some reason didn't vote for -her-.
How many people do you think that is? In any case, I don;t really know that theres a -need-..as such. Judging by the popular vote, you could run Hillary or Bernie again with a fair expectation of victory. Trump was a glitch in math, and he;s been eroding the glitch that propelled him to victory pretty much since it happened...so?
Yes we do. If Hillary wins, all they have to do is shout E-Mails or Bengazi. If Bernie wins that will make Hillary supporters sit out.
I do agree that key states matter, but that division still played a factor.
