    She only lost The EC by 78,000 votes and she barely campaigned in those states.Thats an easy fix in 2020

    A 5% swing will not help in 2020 unless the 5% is spread-out across the country and not concentrated in Democratic leaning cities.

    Good luck with that. It is not an "easy fix" when running against an incumbent candidate.

    If your thoughts reflect the attitude of the Democratic party (which they do) then the Democrats better be prepared to have their asses handed to them in the 2018/2020 elections.

    Dems lost because of 78000 votes in key states, a high Dem turnout (like 2008 and 2012) will easily surpass that deficit.

    These are also states with a high number of Democrats leaving the party.

    Tell that to Carter and HW, if you fail to perform then incumbency is a huge burden and given Trump's undeliverable promises, no one is going to believe his BS the second time around especially Dem voters (read union households)who gave him a chance.

    No President had average approval ratings as low as Trumps is their first term.The article mentioned Truman was at 39 in June but he went back up to around 60 by election day and Truman was over 60 at other points during his first term,an approval rating Trump has never had.
