A Democratic strong economic populist woman would have won Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and probably even Florida.

Hillary Clinton carried 30 years of political baggage with her ... fairly or not, is was there. The polls showed it from the moment she announced: people didn't trust her and they didn't like her.

I strongly believe that an Elizabeth Warren or Amy Klobachar or Patty Murray with a strong message would have defeated any Republican nominee.
