Probably has to do with her always winning NY & CA (high population densities). I think my state STANS for her more than any other(?) She smoked Trump, Sanders & Obama (in 2008!!!) here, I don't think there's any politician alive today who could beat her here

Pretty surprising she also won Cali over Obama in 2008, I wouldn't have guessed. But yeah, California probably put her over the top with the popular vote just like in this GE.

Well, I mean, we don't disagree there. But I'm pretty sure we also agree that if someone's voter base is largely otherwise disinterested millennials & independents, there's only so much you can do to deliver them to a nominee which doesn't appeal to them

Especially compared to a voter base consisting of lifelong democrats who are reliable voters. Tap into both bases, you'll basically get Obama in 2008, but not everyone can have that.
