316. If Hillary Clinton loses, it's because she employed a losing strategy, period.

Sure, there are plenty of people on DU who will not vote for HRC, should she win the nomination. And I expect there are a lot more of them out there-- DU is only a microscopic sample.

There's a very broad sentiment in this country that the political process is just a rigged game for billionaires and that regular people don't really matter. Many will simply fail to show up and vote for HRC-- not as a statement, but because establishment candidates like her simply don't inspire them to leave the house.

Given that HRC also energizes the right-wing base in a way that their own candidates cannot, it seems to me that her supporters are inviting a loss. You can put up all the preemptive blame you like, but ultimately, if a politician loses, it's because they employed a losing strategy.

You cannot blame the voters any more than you can blame customers for not making your 'trout-flavored doughnuts' a success.
