CNN: Election Results Show ‘that Old Clinton Magic Doesn’t Work’

‘Part of the argument around a Clinton presidency is that she can expand the map,’ but Dems were wiped out in South

KING: "But is it bad for her, good for her, indifferent for her?"

RAJU: "I mean, it's not great for her because it shows that the party that she -- the president who she served -- repudiation of his policies and she has to figure out a message that she can carry forward in 2016 that the Democrats can run on. I think that's what we saw on Tuesday that Democrats didn't even had a message in this election year. They run on -- they tried to keep it [indecipherable] state by state race in contrast between each of these candidates. They railed against the Koch brothers, they talked about the minimum wage, but that was the overarching theme. I think that's what Hilary is going to have to worry about come 2016. What is she running on, what does the party stand for.”

PACE: "I do think it makes it very easy for her though to come out of the gate and quickly separate herself from President Obama. She's not going to get a lot of questions from Democrats about why she's doing that. This election showed he's unpopular and if Democrats want to win in 2016, they going to have a different message and just act differently than he has over the past few years."

HENDERSON: "Yeah. I think that's true. Also, I think one of the take aways from this was that that old Clinton magic doesn't really work, right. And part of the argument around the Clinton presidency or Clinton run is that she can expand the map that perhaps she can do well with southern white working class voters and if you look at the way of the Democratic brand [indecipherable] in these states among white voters -- I mean just completely wiped out among white voters. So can she still make that argument that she can win in a place like Kentucky?"
