Reports Are Now Coming Out Why Hillary Lost the General Election And Where We Go From Here

[lovemydogs]

This is about the reports that have come out, which all reach a similar conclusion, and not about causing anyone to get mad, fight or be upset.
I just thought that people would like to know what many Democratic political firms have been finding.
It is meant for people to take in, process and think about. Not attack each other or democratic politicians, ect.

To begin with, the argument that the base did not turn out is wrong. It was because she failed to get the support and votes from a group that voted for Obama twice. Hillary lost support with some key groups needed to win in a general election. The big problem is getting party leaders, hardcore Hillary supporters to accept the results and come to terms with why.

Hillary lost alot of Obama supporters, mainly Working Class Whites.

'Indeed, the voters who flipped from Obama to Trump in just four years have amassed 70 percent of the reason why Clinton lost the election, according to an analysis by the Democratic political firm Global Strategy Group. Matt Canter, the senior vice president of the firm, has delivered these reports to party operatives, congressman, senators and think-tank leaders in order to properly inform and educate the party on what exactly happened.'

Cantor also added that its important to learn lessons from the loss and not just tell ourselves things to make us feel better.

Not only did Cantor's group but, Hillary's Priorities USA and the New York Times have conducted similar studies. They all reached the same conclusion:

'Each group made its assessment by analyzing voter files, reports that show who voted in every state, and matching them to pre-existing data about the voters, including demographic information and prior vote history. Using this process, the groups have determined how people voted – in what amounts to the most comprehensive way to analyze the electorate short of a full-blown census.'

This is what happened with Working Class Whites:

'This comes at a time when one poll shows that 67 percent of the public believes that the Democratic Party is out of touch with the concerns of most people. “This idea that Democrats can somehow ignore this constituency and just turn out more of our voters, the math doesn’t work,” Canter told McClatchy. “We have to do both.”

Clinton lost was unable to persuade working class white voters mainly because she didn’t differ from the status-quo, and Trump was a candidate that ran on abolishing the establishment class, even though he was never actually going to anyways.'

Hillary's group, Priorities also add:

' “Officials with the group have preached in recent months that Democrats can both reach out to white working-class voters and their base with a strong message rooted in economic populism,” McClatchy reported.'

They all say the biggest problem for the Democratic Party now with rebuilding is that the party is leaderless. There is no one voice to lead the party and unite it. As well as address the problems that hurt Hillary in the general.
