Add to that not Trump actually having a message while Hillary’s was ‘vote for me, it’s my time’.
Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama faulted his party’s campaign strategy in an interview airing Monday, arguing Democrats suffered stinging electoral losses in last month’s vote because they failed to campaign in hard-hit rural areas.
Taking partial blame — and withholding any direct criticism of Hillary Clinton — Obama said candidates in the future should ignore at their own peril the places Democrats haven’t traditionally performed well.
“You’ve got a situation where they’re not only entire states but also big chunks of states where, if we’re not showing up, if we’re not in there making an argument, then we’re going to lose,” Obama told NPR. “And we can lose badly, and that’s what happened in this election.”
