The Nation is a hard left publication.
They want to stop the distraction of this false reason and move on to the "real" reason Hillary Clinton lost.
I will save The Nation some time: she was an unlikable person, a horrible candidate, was far to the left of middle America and should be in jail.
The way-less-left Jim Webb would have easily beaten Trump, but the DNC decided to pull out all stops to coronate their queen, disenfranchising union workers, Bernie supporters, Reagan-democrats and Kennedy-democrats.
