There are no Sanders movement - GE voting numbers - millenials turnout rate is down and more diverse

10. Here's what I think. I think we became overconfident that

people would not vote for Trump and didn't work as hard as we could have.

In my own circle of Minnesota friends, there were two people who voted for Jill Stein. I talked to them several times, trying to convince them that was a big mistake. Their answer was, "Well, Hillary will win anyhow, so it's a protest vote." Now, they're horribly dismayed at the outcome. They do understand that they voted foolishly.

In Minnesota, they were right, but just barely. Hillary did win Minnesota. But, right next door, she lost Wisconsin.

We were overconfident, and let that lull us into less action that we should have taken. I've been doing GOTV for decades. The "sometimes" voters are always the target. You can never get them all to the polls, but if you work really hard, you can get some of them to the polls. I don't think they turned out this year, based on my review of my own precinct's vote. I think they simply stayed home and let things happen. That's always their default choice. GOTV should focus on that group, and usually does.

In 2016, we failed. Our overconfidence led to our defeat, I believe.
