I don't think it's that simple. For example, she wins if Ted Cruz is the Pub nominee in what would have been a more normal red/blue map. But Trump broadened the map from the beginning with his potential appeal to the Rust Belt states, a few of which he succeeded in flipping. His populist message in what was a change year contributed to his winning. So did his not walking and talking like a normal politician in a change year. And things like her email scandal, Russian hacking, ACA rate increases, Comey, PC and transgender issues probably all played small parts as well. And Clinton and her surrogates are blaming some of these external things, particularly Comey and the Russians, for her losing and not taking much of any responsibility themselves. But first and foremost she was a shite candidate, she bungled the emails issue from the beginning, and their strategy down the stretch was tone deaf and poor. Brooklyn merits a lot more blame than they and most Dem party members are currently assigning.
