9. What she should have done is make sure WI and MI were truly blue

Dec 2016

To her credit she did go to PA several times but she probably should have spent more time in the suburbs--she took the cities of Pittsburgh and Philly overwhelmingly and she won the surrounding suburbs but not by the margins that were originally thought.

She should have written off Iowa in September but I read she wanted to give Trump the appearance that she was still competing there so that he would keep investing. Ohio, in retrospect, seems to have been a lost cause as well.

Wisconsin she didn't make any visits at all too and didn't spend too much time in Michigan until the end when it began to dawn on them that it was slipping away.

One day GA and AZ will be blue but probably not until 2024. We keep thinking that NC will go blue but it disappointed us not only this year but in 2012 as well.
