1. No, he absolutely did not damage Clinton in any way

Remember, he was talking about issues that ordinary people care about, mostly that the country has been stolen out from under us by a series of conservatives who favored fattening the rich over anything else. The ones who swung over to Dump were never Democratic voters. There is no way any of them would have voted for a mainstream Democrat, especially another Clinton, and especially a woman.

However, they still didn't defeat her. She was defeated by a corporate press that stonewalled her message in favor of phony scandals ginned up by Russian trolls, by an FBI agent who gave credence to those scandals just before the election (followed by a whisper that nothing was there, after all) and very likely Russian tampering with easily hacked voting systems.

The party is going to have to figure out how to deal with all of these things unless it wants to keep losing.

That's assuming we still have a country left after this narcissistic psycho gets done with it.
