Heilemann: ‘Manifestly True’ Clinton Underperformed with the Obama Coalition

‘She just did not get anything like the kind of support from this new coalition that Barack Obama seemed to have built for the party over the course of the last two cycles’

HEILEMANN: "You heard these murmurs for months that Secretary Clinton was underperforming with the members of the Obama coalition. It really turned out to be manifestly true yesterday that she — Mark’s really important point, that Donald Trump did not wildly outperform. In fact, in some ways he underperformed Mitt Romney in terms of the number of votes he got across the country. She just did not get anything like the kind of support from this new coalition that Barack Obama seemed to have built for the party over the course of the last two cycles."
