Hillary had Trump on the ropes after the Tapes came out, and then the VP Debate happened. Kaine was such a disaster that it took Trump off the ropes.
And it looks like a lot of the Bernie voters wound up staying home.
They had reason to in Michigan in Wisconsin, considering a) he trounced her in those states in the primaries, but b)
she never got near either of them until a last-minute (actually, last week) visit to Michigan. Too little, too late---and
her losses there probably kicked her overall defeat into its last hours.
Plus, let's face it, even a lot of Hilarious's admirers felt she was, shall we say, a lackluster campaigner. A
lot of
Democrats voted with their feet this time---as in, not moving those feet to the polls, and not just in Michigan and
Wisconsin.
