Study: Hillary Clinton’s TV ads were almost entirely policy-free

At risk of talking politics, for example, she spoke against Sanders plan on universal health care at an important point in the race [1]. If she later changed her stance to be for universal health care, I don't think people either realized it or believed it - basically she needed to commit to it strongly enough so that it would be politically hard to flop after winning and not do it (to gain the voters who cared about that). Fwiw, it sounds like she is now running for NY governor, hopefully she wins that.

I suppose one could make the argument that the voters should be able to forgive small gaffes like that, yet here we are.

Completely. Bernie had plenty of clear, inspiring, resonant policy positions that anyone who heard them can recall. The only thing most people remember from Hillary's campaign was "I'm with her". Trump's response was "I'm with you" or "I'm your voice" or whatever. I mean, how incredibly incompetent is your campaign if you sound more narcissistic than a reality TV troll?
