    Bill Clinton knows why Hillary lost

    'Bill didn't buy the excuse that Comey would cost Hillary the election,' said the source. 'As far as he was concerned, all the blame belonged to [campaign manager Robby] Mook, [campaign chairman John] Podesta and Hillary because they displayed a tone-deaf attitude about the feeble economy and its impact on millions and millions of working-class voters.'

    During the campaign, Bill Clinton felt that he was ignored by Hillary's top advisers when he urged them to make the economy the centerpiece of her campaign.

    'Bill said that constantly attacking Trump for his defects made Hillary's staff and the media happy, but that it wasn't a message that resonated with voters, especially in the rust belt,' the source explained.

    'Bill always campaigned as a guy who felt your pain, but Hillary came across as someone who was pissed off at her enemy [Trump], not someone who was reaching out and trying to make life better for the white working class.'

    According to the source, Bill was severely critical of Hillary's decision to reject an invitation to address a St. Patrick's Day event at the University of Notre Dame. Hillary's campaign advisers nixed the idea on the grounds that white Catholics were not the audience she needed to reach.

    'Bill also said that many African Americans were deeply disappointed with the results of eight years of Obama,' the source continued.

    'Despite more and more government assistance, black weren't economically any better off, and black-on-black crime was destroying their communities. He said Hillary should have gone into the South Side of Chicago and condemned the out-of-control violence.'

    'Hillary wouldn't listen. She told Bill that his ideas were old and that he was out of touch. In the end, there was nothing he could do about it because Hillary and her people weren't listening to anything he said.'
    Hillary always came across as someone who believed the presidency was somehow owed to her. She obviously felt she could ignore and sometimes even insult large parts of the electorate and still come out on top. Bill knows how to talk to people. Hillary, not so much.

    Wrong , it's because white America is sexist and racist and hate Brown folks since they are stupid.

    We really don't need election analysis threads for every new detail, we have a megathread.
