I see 245K D votes in 2016 vs. 266K D votes in 2008. That decrease is scary. LonePirate Feb 2016 #3

Clinton was in a 3-way race in 2008. In a 2-way race in 2016 she should have increased her votes (similar turnout both years). Yet she got 20K fewer. That's devaststating for Camp Weathervane. Former voters are leaving her.

In 2004, the Dems were coming off of 8 years of Bush, Obama had just come off a surprise Iowa victory, and the Republican field was not nearly as interesting to independents.
