I.e., her campaign managers said: "Our candidate is such an unlikable turd that we'd better spend 90% of our time convincing people Trump is worse."

They couldn't talk about policy because her owners hadn't told her what her policy was going to be yet.

It's like she was trying to lose.
Calling half the country "deplorable"
Dipshit you are trying win over people that don't agree with you. Don't ever insult them. It's like she was trying to win over people that already agreed with her.
My cousin was (is?) a Hilary supporter and quoted the New York fire chief or something that said "Trump supporters aren't wrong they are just misguided"
Not a whole lot of chance of them seeing your side when you believe them to be wrong,misguided, deplorable, basement dwellers, whatever.
Start with trying to understand why they believe what they believe for fucks sake.

Who made this graph? It would be a lot easier to read if the both section was in the middle of that stack, since it involves, you know both.

This is great! I shows that when all thing are equal you are more likely to win if you talk about what you are going to do, but if you are an incumbent you are better served by keeping your mouth shut.
