Correspondence With Friend F Concerning Hillary Clinton's "Baggage" And Her 2016 Campaign

Dear F,

Thanks for your email.

I don't "dig for it." (i.e., I don't dig for dirt on Hillary Clinton.)

"It" comes my way.

How the Rustbelt Paved Trump's Road to Victory

The president-elect won by locking in support from traditional “blue wall” states Hillary Clinton thought were in her corner.

Every conceivable "position" can be argued, but since Hillary lost in three decisive states by a total of fewer than 80,000 votes, I suggest that Hillary's reluctance to get out on the stump -- instead preferring safe small-group encounters with her already-avid supporters -- might well make her "responsible" for Trump's presidency. 

"Trump won 18 states by fewer than 250,000 votes; Clinton, 13. The most important states, though, were Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won those states by 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively — and by 10,704, 46,765 and 22,177 votes. Those three wins gave him 46 electoral votes; if Clinton had done one point better in each state, she'd have won the electoral vote, too."
And it wasn't that Hillary was unaware of the rustbelt menace:

For better or worse, I feel an obligation to report truth even when it disturbs me. Here's a recent example:

I'm not quite sure why you have a need to dig for the single thing that may denigrate the bigger picture other than maybe your view is colored by  duplicitous women in your personal life. 

Anyway, let's keep hope and excitement alive.

Love
