    Hillary didn’t just lose because of a lack of “ground game” she lost because of instead of campaigning in states she needed to win, she did a victory lap and only went to states she was already locked in to win.

    That’s another way of saying “lack of ground game”.

      Clinton had organizers in Michigan and Wisconsin, but she failed to visit the states personally which voters saw as taking them for granted.

      When the election rolled around, they did not.

      Which was especially stupid for her given how Wisconsin showed a willingness to vote R in statewide elections over and over. She SHOULD have been there.

      You make it sound like something they couldn’t do.

      Not something they deliberately choose to ignore

      That’s the difference. Hillary had all the campaign resources and money to win, hell, she took a bunch from senate races thru a fucked up DNC “donor sharing” program.

      Then blew all that money traveling Blue states so people would clap for her.

      She didn’t just fuck up her race, she fucked up the house and senate as well.

      Details and specifics matter
