Last I checked those numbers she lost a percentage point or more from Obama on each of those groups (with the exception of Jewish voters from 2012 but not any previous election). I'm curious why those groups are exempt from all the blame going around?
Especially since those groups actively did vote for a Dem for President before and actively voted for the other candidate this time around.
And all the Stein voter brouhaha of her scary 1% of the votes doesn't even factor in how many Republican voters Johnson pulled or how many Republicans just sat out the election as well because they couldn't stomach Trump.
