Although it is often said that white women won the election for Trump, it can be argued with equal plausibility that black people lost the election for Hillary. (The last black woman I pitched while pounding the pavement for Hillary was a vehement Trump supporter - tired of too much Democratic talk and too little material support.)
A Cory Booker-Kamala Harris ticket would get blacks out to vote, while latinos are so pissed that nothing will keep them from voting, either for the Democratic ticket or against Trump.
And finally white women will like the fact that Cory is charming and Kamala is impressive.
All that's needed is just one more overall percentage point in each of these three voting demographics and the pendulum will swing.
Plus a lot more blacks and white women than 1% are likely to "turn out" -- or "change colors" -- with an all-black ticket, plus white women will be attracted to a woman who is smart, accomplished, poised and statuesquely beautiful.
Stephen Colbert Interviews Cory Booker
It is utterly unforgiveable that Hillary didn't even visit Wisconsin, and then ignored impassioned pleas (late in the campaign) to visit Michigan.
Hillary was too focused on little "garden party" events.
It almost felt like she was hiding -- or at least "staying inside her comfort zone" -- while waiting for Donald to implode under the dead weight of his own monstrosity... when, ironically, it was precisely his monstrosity that resonated with America's Aryan underbelly.
What Hillary considered Trump's Achilles Heel proved to be his "secret weapon."
Never underestimate large groups of white people congregating in the cornfields and rust belts of Dumbfuckistan.
What if...
What if Hillary had "pulled out all the stops" for just one yuuuge "stadium event" in Wisconsin -- and another yuuuge stadium event in Michigan -- with Bruce Springsteen as the opening act?
