This is not a Bernie bro rant rather a much needed post mortem. We lost this thing because our wall in the upper Midwest crumbled- Iowa Wisconsin Ohio Michigan Pennsylvania. We need to not be so dismissive of the results there (and Iowa was razor thin for Hilary after some perceived dnc meddling).

Obama kicked but in that region with a lot of white voters. We overlooked bernies strengths with white voters and perhaps dismissed as some kind of weakness going forward. And don't kid yourself, people of color were not excited about Hilary. Dave Chappelle hinted at an enthusiasm gap there last week and it showed up.
