Perhaps a hot take but also an honest and realistic take? What do you think happened in 2016 when Clinton lost to Trump. You literally had the Democrats and Barrack Obama laying significant blame on Clinton and campaign.

We went from all this "we are going to smash the glass ceiling" to why the hell did you not campaign with a lot of normal American's. Direct quote right after the election.

"“You know, I won Iowa not because the demographics dictated that I would win Iowa. It was because I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall, and there were some counties where I might have lost, but maybe I lost by 20 points instead of 50 points,” Obama said'

Another time, upon reflection, perhaps giving speeches to tech companies with 9 employee's and $9 billion dollar valuations, the campaign should have focused the US Rust Belt where they got smoked out of the water. Ie: Less 9 people offices and more 19 000 people stadiums??

If there is going to be all this outrage in November when a demented, sick and dangerous old man wins, then the reflection of allowing another older and struggling man to run probably won't be sufficient. Perhaps some consequences for decisions? I am old fashion like that.

In YOUR business, if someone messes up beyond comprehension to catastrophic consequences when they potentially knew the risks, shrugging ones shoulders probably doesn't come off as an appropriate excuse or reason.
