I saw some of Hillary's ex team putting ideas out now that _Sanders_ was under Russian influence. They just can't get over the idea that she was "the senator's daughter" to turn a phrase and all but won.

The Dems abandoned their working class and decided to go for identity politics which in turn turned off lots of people such that white women voters, Hillary's wheelhouse, voted for her opposition, and some commentators even called this a whitelash, implicitly implicating identity politics as having turned a cruel mistress.

Sounds like a rationalization made backwards from a premise, even though the issues raised in 2016 were basically identical to the issues raised in 2012. The only difference was, ironically, the introduction of "white identity politics" by Trump.
