I know polling ain't what it used to be, but I still think that was fairly on target, as many of them were looking at electoral votes, not just raw ballots cast. If you're job in the DNC is to put the party first... and you know a candidate isn't likely to win based on trends and history... then that's on you for pushing the candidate. It doesn't matter how much a candidate wins the popular election by, Republicans have manipulated districts so that if you're going to win an election, you're going to have to appease more than just the majority.
Doesn't really affect Presidential elections.
