Re: "So it was Clinton’s public persona and public positions that hurt her and depressed Democratic turnout in places like Detroit and Flint, not anything in Wikileaks (can anyone name even one newsworthy email?)"
Well, there were at least several released e-mails that revealed newsworthy aspects of Clinton, including the one where she admitted she took private and public positions on issues. Just because our country's corrupt corporate media didn't see fit to discuss any of it means nothing, really. The Internet, where it all counts now (in the year 2016), was ablaze with much of it. I'm kind of puzzled that Mr. Cole doesn't acknowledge this reality.
Except that there's no such thing as a national popular vote for President. If there had been, the campaigns would have been organized differently, and nobody knows what the outcome would have been.
