Dude, people like Biden despite that.
Clinton lost due to disaffected Bernie voters(Which isn't just because a Progressive candidate), scandals true or not(Biden while having baggage isn't as vulnerable despite gaffes) , Trump's outsider image, Hillary seeming unlikable, 8 year Democrat advantage, Hillary's lack of campaigning in the Midwest, Hillary's incoherent slogans and messages(I know a Political Nominee from a major state who also was a Campaign Strategist and he agrees with this and elaborated on it), Hillary's me-centric message(Again, this political strategist, who also is helping me and other aspiring candidates from both parties to an extent but not to a paid extent[yet], pointed this out), her inauthenticity(same person also agrees), inauthentic feeling flip-flops(different from most flip-flops I should stress, same person agreed), lack of charisma(many including that person I'm mentioning but keeping private due to respect and professional courtesy agrees), and calling Trump supporters Deplorables, which backfired.
It wasn't any one thing, it was a perfect storm of mistakes, incompetencies, oversights, and circumstances that made Trump win.
And this is coming from a 2016 Bernie supporter who despised Clinton.
Stop looking at things so simplistically, campaigns and their failure is complex. I know this from personal experience working on one recently privately and my political contacts.
Why didn't Hillary campaign in Wisconsin?
