Anecdotally I heard the Democrats had overconfidence toward Trump (the polls may be one reason why) and were pretty much measuring the drapes

up through election day. Michelle hinted at it last night, but it seems more could have been done toward states such as WI in 2016. Common sense dictates that this mistake is lesson learned and unlikely to be repeated. In fact, I believe Harris herself pleads this in her speeches. One hopes.

For sure, Dems weren't just measuring for drapes in 2016, they had already ordered them. Interestingly, the GOP was kinda in that mood this year.... - ty97 Aug 21, 12:11 1

See my emphatic posts the last couple of weeks about focusing on the blue wall. Don't Hillary this up. -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 12:07
Everyone did. There was no reason at all that he should have won that election. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 21, 12:05
I know I did. 2016 was far and away my worst political miss. -- nm - David Aug 21, 11:48 1
- It was unexpected. I'll never forget the election night party I attended which pretty much began with an already-celebratory tone. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 11:50
apparently they blew off WI and the rust belt to try and take AZ which seemed in play. but, really, look AT him, he's a disaster, amiright -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 11:46
