Hillary did focus heavily on attacking Trump's character, which didn't work as well as it should have because too many people wrongly believed "both of them are bad" and such. I think she ran a good campaign, but yes, more ads and focus on policy would have been a good idea... and more trips to the Midwest of course. :p
Quote: She needed Bernie to shore up support in the rust and coal belt, he should have been her running mate.I think Tim Kaine was a fine running mate. He probably didn't help Hillary's numbers a lot, but he didn't hurt either. And would Bernie have agreed to be on a ticket with her? Would that both people on our ticket would be old hurt, too? And with Bernie on the ticket, those Republican attacks against him would have started, and they'd hurt. Maybe Bernie could have helped overall, but that's questionable. But anyway, ultimately most people vote based on who the Presidential candidate is, not the VP.
