Sure, some of the things you stated played a role.

Question: How big of a role?

Answer: We will never know.

We can't control those things.

As much as some people do not want to hear this, there were many missteps taken by Hillary. Those are the things that we can control in the future.

If we nominate another person with Hillary's bagge (real or perceived), another candidate that is incapable of connecting with voters and holding rallies the size of Sanders or Obama, someone who can't put a message together to sell their plan - then we are destined to keep losing. These are all things that are within the control of us and our party.
