she’d focused too heavily on black and brown voters at the expense of competing for the whites who had formed her base in 2008.

i have to wonder how she was going to expect to have it all in the dem primaries

she had selected a portion of the base to focus on, and the logical move after winning is to establish herself with the rest, which she tried to do

the problem was that her campaign was so hard-nosed in responding to sanders' criticisms that essentially her efforts to appeal to the white working class voters that were his base came across as fake. she was never going to win a majority of them--too many are just republicans--but she'd have done better nationally had she turned left sooner. it wasn't going to cost her with blacks
