Hillary Clinton and other party leaders are asking that question after her stunning upset loss to Donald Trump. …
Clinton leads the popular vote, but she received about 5 million fewer votes than President Obama did in 2012. At the same time, Trump won about as many votes as Mitt Romney did in 2012 and only a little more than Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) did in 2008.
Most critically, the votes Clinton lost stood out in states essential to both candidates’ paths to 270 electoral votes. CONT.
