Here is the seven state strategy that cost Hillary the presidency . . . . . other than the fact that she was a crook and her marriage was a sham.

Hillary's seven state strategy would have given her the presidency by quite a margin.  Instead, she lost all seven states,  giving Donald Trump a historic election victory.  

Here is how it happened:  

In the last days of the 2016 campaign,  Hillary moved a million dollar ad buy in Michigan to Indiana and Missouri.  As a result,  she lost all three states.

In the last days of the 2016 campaign,  she was convinced to cancel a 2 million dollar ad by in Pennsylvania and Florida,  preferring,  instead,  to spend much of that money in Arizona.   Subsequently,  she lost both Pennsylvania and Florida in addition to Arizona.  

Finally,  she was convinced that Wisconsin was a "safe place," and, as a result,  did not bother to make any personal appearances there   . . . . .    not one. She lost the state by 22,000.  

I make this point as often as I can, but,  Trump won the popular vote bt 1.2 million if you exclude California's 4 million vote victory favoring Hillary.  Understand that Trump won the electoral vote 306 to 232 or by a lop-sided margin of 74 votes.  If you understand that he was strong, across the nation,  outside of California,  you can understand why Trump's electoral victory was so one-sided.  The  Hillary mantra has her being the popular candidate,  when,  in fact,  that simply is not true.  

In case you are wondering why I am camping on California and not New York,  the answer is in the numbers.  New York gave Hillary her victory by a 1.7 million vote margin.  Last count in California gave Hillary a 3.9 million vote margin.
