I think that too. But I don't think it cost her the election.
She still easily won the super liberal places full of Bernie supporters (New York and California)
But what killed her was the Democrat Party losing it's grip on WORKING people. The blue collar vote in the Rust Belt was the determining factor.
She (and the DNC) completely ignored them and spent too much time pandering to people on welfare, illegal immigrants, and special interest groups.
All she would have had to do was make a few campaign appearances in the rust belt and give them a glimmer of hope...and she would have won the election easily.
Instead, she kinda disappeared for a couple of months doing big private fundraisers in Hollywood for the Democrat Party.
Big tactical error for her.
And I don't blame her...I blame her team. Those high-priced political consultants and their "business as usual" outdated ideas lost her the election.
