32. She lost the campaign where it happened

Battlegrounds i.e. FL, NC, PA, OH, MI, WI...she won fewer electoral votes than any Dem since Dukakis. She campaigned in PA 12 times and still lost. She lost states that had been blue since the 1980s. She blew off MI and WI. She got a quarter million less votes in WI than Obama and 50k less votes in Detroit.

Axelrod didn't rip her; that's the video clip headline. He's just reminding people there was a lot more to this result than Comey and Russia. He's clearly right.

I disagree with Axelrod. Honeycombe8 May 2017 #6

Maybe he's thinking bigger picture and wants Democrats to reflect on more than victimhood BeyondGeography May 2017 #9

She's not playing victim by acknowledging PART of the reason for the loss. Honeycombe8 May 2017 #11
