Hillary, for one, was a piss poor messenger to begin with. Both she and the dems gambled on playing race and gender against the Republicans, and lost. The dems lost states that hadn't voted for a Republican president in better than thirty years. Their largest and once loyal base, the white blue collar workers in the rust belt and coal states, broke ranks and put President Trump in the White House. You don't win elections by disregarding your largest base. The dems aren't faring well in State and local elections either. Republicans have the majority of Governorships, 34 to 15 dems and 1 independent. The dems are bombing out with their identity politics shit. The left's chicken little obsession with seeing racists, bigots, nazis, kkk, homophobes, anti-women, blather, blather, blather, around every corner is not going to win them very many elections. Even Schumer and Pelosi agreed that their message needs to change.
No, one wins by having an incompetent electoral college ignore the popular vote for Hillary's election to appoint Trump.
