Honestly, no presidential candidate has ever been up against the dynamics that occurred in this election cycle. We don't know how another candidate would have reacted to the negative tactics employed.

And she was not the only one who was attacked, but look at all the Rublican candidates in the primary. They were rousted out very early. And then you have the Democrats in the smaller elections that were attacked and lost.

Regardless of Clinton's reasons for losing, this is a new era of campaigning with new political tactics that will have to be studied thoroughly in order for the Dems to not fall down this rabbit hole again.

I compare it to WW2...Germans came with tanks against Poland's Calvary. Definitely a game changer.
