Now that the election passions have subsided just a little, the question arises why Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lost, after numerous polls predicted her victory over Donald Trump.

The journalist draws parallels between the 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns. In 2008, he notes, Clinton’s campaign “miscalculated that an upstart insurgent couldn’t beat her” and simply “ignored some states altogether and focused on the biggest contests.” © REUTERS/ JIM URQUHART In the Face of Crushing Defeat, What Will Become of the Clinton Dynasty?
