Despite Drezner's generous analysis, Hilary Clinton is done. Yes, she ended the campaign stronger than she started. But she also ended it ugly. If I chose to dwell on her comments about "hard-working whites," I'd be really pissed.
And for all her talk about "ready on day one," she wasn't. She and her campaign took the nomination for granted and when challenged, did not respond near quickly enough. For her experience, Bill's experience, her team's experience, they weren't really very good technically. And they seriously mis-read the country's mood. She was still running a campaign of the 1980s and 90s because she was a candidate of the 80s and 90s.
The Clintons are done. The Bushes are done.
Sigh of relief.
