(3,063 posts)I think she paid too much attention to the polls, which were wrong and showed solid red states like AZ leaning blue or toss up when they were actually still solid red. In the last couple of weeks of the election here in AZ, we had Hillary, Michelle, Chelsea, Kaine and Bernie 2xs, which turned out to be a huge waste. Seeing how far off the polls were this time maybe future strategies shouldn't focus on the polls so much. Maybe need to just ignore the traditionally solid red states and focus primarily on the rest of the country no matter what the polls say.
I think Dems underestimate the Republicans too much sometimes. If the race is even somewhat close then they can pull enough shenanigans to steal it. Republicans govern horribly, but they are masters at getting you to take your eye off the ball.
