Herein, some conclusions:President Obama said during a news conference Monday that it's "healthy" for the Democratic Party to go through reflection. Between that election and this, the voting-eligible population grew 9 million to 232 million, according to the nonpartisan U.S. Election Project. In 2012, President Obama won with almost 66 million votes; Clinton’s total was just over 62 million. Campaigning concentrates on a small sliver of voters whose minds aren’t made up or who are open to change. One is that the Democrats’ vaunted “ground game” — the get-out-the-vote operation — was vastly overrated.
