Getting more votes was a stupid strategy. She should have been like electoral supergenius Donald Trump, who totally calculated the impact of every campaign event on a county by county basis to a 99.999% degree of accuracy. He could have had waaaaaay more votes than Hillary if he wanted to, but that wasn't the winning game plan.

Also, too, no democracy! Representative republic!

I think I know the advice. When deciding where to campaign, Warren must ask herself 'does this state inspire joy within me?' Works for picking out pantsuits.

The only reason why Hillary Clinton is vilified is because she was part of the team that exposed Nixon. This is a multi decade hit job born from the post WW2 strategy to influence votes. Add in gerrymandering and character assasination for simple things like riding in a tank or giving a yell at a rally.

Yet the petulant child gets a free pass. <spits on the floor>

Trump has no choice but to reduce it down to name-calling. Warren is way sharper and way faster than he is. She will shred him in a debate. And I must say, I look forward to that possibility

It's hard to know exactly how many times they've reached out to each other - or precisely what they've discussed - in part because neither camp wants to reveal much of anything about their interaction and in part because they have each other's phone numbers, and there are many ways for two high-powered politicians to communicate that don't involve their staffs.

That's some trenchant analysis there.

Russia owns Hillary, right? So this should be good news to Trump supporters.
You know... Trumpers deny Russian interference in the 2016 elections, but suddenly believe in it if they hear from Fox News that Hillary will influence Warren on orders from her Russian handlers.

Remember, you gotta spin it into the absurd for the right wing nutters to get behind it.

Well isn't that just like those crazy libs, to gather information and weigh the opinion of people who have experience and knowledge on a subject. I guarantee that Trump won't listen to others and fall into the thoughtfulness trap.

She learned from her mistakes against Obama in the primary and came ready the second time around. Obviously, Bernie wasn't Obama. Still, he gave her a run for her money. But she was ready that time. She ran a tighter campaign, didn't ignore caucus states, and she leveraged he party insider position even more. Obama caught her completely unprepared.

Her campaign against Trump wasn't particularly bad. The problem was a lack of get out the vote initiatives across key states. You gotta get grassroots involved to register people *and* make sure they actually go out and vote. Local party organizations either know (or need to learn) how to do that by tackling issues like transportation, encouraging mail-in (where available), and informing voters, who may be apathetic towards the presidential race, about various races and ballot initiatives that affect them directly. Funding from the party needs to flow to these actions at local level.

Not enough love for this.

Also, it's OK to appeal a bit to the middle, but the only middle who will vote for her are those who lean left to begin with. In other words, appeal to the dem base that's broader than that on the right. Energize the left and GOTfV.

Hillary's platform (and that of the Democratic Party circa 2016) played remarkably well in the sticks, largely because it was just Obama's platform over again, which also played really well in the sticks.

This election's Democratic platform does not play well in the sticks. Warren would only be wasting her time correcting Hillary's 2016 shortcomings, on account of her campaign being focused solely on turning out a population-center referendum vote.

This makes me think of how, every time the Democrats look like they're going to win, Republican pundits come out and say, "It's still possibly that they could blow it. The only way they can win is to abandon all of the policies that everyone wants and do whatever the Republicans would do."

Based on what?  Clinton's problem was never intelligence.  They both are very smart, they both did well in University and in their chosen fields.  They share some of the same weaknesses and strengths if they are talking Warren wouldn't just pretend to listen.

This is not a bad thing.  Hillary's team mostly likely did a retrospective and found areas where they blundered.  Learning from past mistakes will actually make Warren, Biden, Sanders, whoever the nominee is, better.

One thing the dem nominee needs to remember is not to take the 'blue wall' for granted.  Go to all your states and rally your people, don;t ignore them.  And done waste time chilling while your opponent is out and about (hell Hillary waited 2 months after getting the nomination before she kicked off her general election run, Trump was all over the bloody place in that two months.)

Lots can be learned.  As long as Warren has the knowledge she can use it how she sees fit,

The GOP is already trying to stop them.

He has 70-80% approval form the GOP, Trump will be the nominee.

- Hillary got more votes than her opponents in the primary and general election
- Those who voted for her are able to vote in 2020
- Most of those who voted for her still like her

In a very narrow scenario a candidate might be able to win the primary without Hillary voters. You cannot win the general election without them.

Her biggest Noose for this area was NAFTA.

Her not saying 'it was a mistake for my husband to pass this, and my team and i will be looking into fixing the issues with it.' was something that really weighed her down.

If you used ot work in an auto plant in this area, but it closed due to Nafta.  The wife of the president who passed this, but is not looking at is as a mistake, vs a guy who says it was a mistake and he will fix it iif you give him a chance. (he didn;t)  You have bene struggling for 20 years, your kids have been also, and you hear that message form Trump, you migth think 'yea.. if he can fix it i'll get bakc to the best job i ever had..' and you might give him the chance.

That was the biggest issue in this area.  Trump now doens;t have the ammo.  The ONLY thing that will keep trump a float is the economy, and that looks like its heading to a cliff.  "But they keep adding jobs! its roring!" a river runs really fast and crazy before a water fall.  Recesstion is coming.

actually there is.  if there is a hint that Hillary is helping Warren then it turns into "Warren is just a puppet for Hillary" and all the negative stigma about Hillary can then be transferred to Warren.  Personally, I would want to hear Hillary's advice, but not have that be known.

similar to how every democratic representative candidate was really just a puppet for Pelosi.  If I didn't know better last election, I would have thought I was in Pelosi's district for as many times I heard her name mentioned in campaign ads.

Now in the spirit of the thread, some good advice would be to do as few public campaign appearances and speeches as possible.  Let Trump talk on TV as much as possible in the hopes he eventually says something so stupid that no one could seriously vote for him.
