10. Voting was down in Wisconsin largely because of voter suppression laws.

Eliminate them and she would have won.

I doubt holding some rallies there would have made a difference. And had Comey not interfered she would have easily won the state. Her big lead there is why she didn't schedule rallies.

Also, when Donald Trump finally thought he had a chance of winning, because of the Comey intervention, the first thing he did was cancel an appearance in Wisconsin.

The claim that HRC did worse with black voters than most other Democrats would have done is something that is said because her critics like to hear it. It makes them feel good to belittle her like that. But in truth, it was her support from black voters that got her the nomination.

It also isn't fair to have expected her to have the same turnout among African-Americans that Barack Obama had. The better question is how she did compared to John Kerry in 2004 in states that have not implemented voter suppression laws since then.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
