"Talking mad poo poo about NAFTA" isn't a specific policy. I'm not trying to run down your vernacular here; that's exactly what he did, it's just that it's not appreciably different than "it'll be fine, don't worry" which is what I'm asking.

I'm sure that's what they think, but again, it's not different than "it'll be fine, don't worry."

The broader point I'm making between swigging milk from my sippy cup, is that the criticisms of Hillary that are being made don't hold up to any reasonable scrutiny given Trump's platform. That's not to say she can't be criticized, it's to say that she needs to be properly criticized.

I agree and I don't think we're actually arguing

It's not appreciably different than don't worry, it'll be fine, it was definitely perceived differently by voters though

And the same exact thing said by different people can be perceived differently

and perception is reality

I'm too fvcked up atm to know where I was goin w this but i think my general thrust here itp was/is that all the wonderful nuanced policy wonkery in the world does nothing if you can't communicate it effectively enough to get elected I guess

that's all completely irrelevant to my point, which was that Trump's message was "things are poo poo and I can fix them, what do you have to lose?" and he was most open with it when he was (nominally) talking to black people

Why can't POTUS votes be counted and tallied locally but simply treated like a referendum? 57M = winner, 55M = loser. I understand the historical basis but what is the reason this can't be done? Is it to do with thresholds for minor party nominee participation?

Any answers?

Ok, I see where you're coming from, the difference in my mind is that the people of the rural rust belt will get less hosed under Clinton but she didn't make that point, at all. There are safety nets in place at the federal level through the ACA and other programs like that, which she didn't harp on, you even had Bill calling the ACA a mess. Are they still hosed unless there's a change in how the economy works around the great lakes, probably, but to a lesser extent when they are unemployed and no one will sign them up for health care because they have whatever existing conditions. Could manufacturing come back to the areas? Probably but I doubt it in any measurable extent but at least you have someone in the white house that's going to offer up/improve programs for these people specifically, and having the richer america pay for it because they are the beneficiaries of the last 8 years, they've been hosed over for like 10+ years not seeing incomes go up and hearing about how great the economy is. I don't blame any of them for voting trump because he straight up said external factors are the reason they are hurting which is a comforting thing to hear, but I think it's short sighted.
Stipulating all of this, how or what exactly could Clinton have done or promised that would be different than what Trump promised? If the ACA needs massive reform, how do you express that in any way that's significantly different than "We're gonna replace it with something great…so great….it's gonna be the greatest thing…you're gonna love it..."

What specific jobs or industry would have returned besides "all of them?"

Basically, I'm going the long way around to asking what I asked earlier:

Serious question: Is there any election post-mortem wherein the people who voted for Trump are in any way, at least marginally responsible for Trump winning?

she should have said "your coal and now defunct factory jobs are now solar jobs. they pay better and there's more of them."

None really, except that you get hyper advertising and spending on election in like 15 out of the 50 states, so the rest of the country feels super disenfranchised, why even go to Iowa/ND/SD/MT when it's got less votes the the NYC metro? "Real America" loses out.
