Clinton is a throwback to the more moderate days in Congress and the current, younger members of the Democrat audience isn't looking for that. If we had seen a more liberal candidate, I think we would have seen Trump take a tumble. That runs counter to your thinking. I would agree that what has been going on is frustrating those on the right, and remaining moderates, but Trump's win in the general election is not because of that.

pretty much.
gun control hurt her with moderates, but her agenda wasn't far left enough for millenial voters of her party. They flocked to Bernie for a reason, and gun control wasn't near the top of that list. Education, marriage equality, defense spending, etc cost her that growing chunk of the base

look for the party to shift more left once the numbers are sorted in a year or so.
