She should have spammed the airwaves with ads with stories from all the people and companies fleeced by him. No, instead the campaign made it about "we are oh-so enlightened, they are all deplorable bigots".
I don't know about that. If anything, Clinton was too negative and offered no vision of what she intended to do. Yes, she had detailed position papers that put the public into a deep slumber; Trump had "Make America Great Again" -- simple, punchy, positive and devoid of detail.
But in the end, the real problem was the party, not the candidate. Democrats needed to present a vision to get them ALL elected. Instead, they mostly lost. If they want to start winning, they better find their communal voice and start singing from the right hymnal.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
