We know, for example, that Hillary won the.
There are a substantial number of voters out there who.
Not only voted for me twice but.
Currently support me who also voted for.
I think we have a scrambled political landscape right now.
There are some things that we know.
Not only entire states but also big chunks of.
If we're not showing up, if we're not in there making an argument.
There's something wrong with the core argument.
And the reason we know that is because on the individual issues.
Their strong support, for example, the minimum wage.
People in rural areas or in ex urban areas.
The political debate take place they may know less about.
The controversy around transgender transgender bathrooms.
More controversial, it attracts more attention.
As a given and then end up voting on.
Part of the reason it's important to show up. And when I say show up, I don't just mean.
Builds trust and it gives.
Issues in a way that feel.
Part of the reason I got elected twice.
In a lot of these communities, I still have pretty strong support.
In first running for the United States Senate in a state that has.
A lot of rural communities and has a downstate.
And just sitting down in people's living rooms and in the FW halls and in.
At fish fries and listening to people and.
Traveling around the state and hearing.
People's concerns and them hearing me and getting a sense that.
The news cycle was critical.
People always felt as if.
Of the overall vote in some of these counties or some of these.
Fifty five, forty five or sixty forty rather than 80 20. That's.
We haven't done it as well as we need to. For example, we know that the Republicans funded through organizations like.
Financing school board races and.
we have a bias towards.
National issues and international issues and.
I think we've ceded too much territory and I take some responsibility for that.
You know, we were just putting out fires. We were in a huge crisis situation.
So a lot of the organizing we work.
More work would have needed to be done to just build up that structure.
You know, one of the big suggestions that I have for Democrats as I leave.
Have some ideas about is.
Well, I think it's appropriate for me to give advice because I.
my girls are getting old enough now where I'm clinging to those very last moments before they.
I'm much more likely to just give advice.
What I am interested in is just developing a whole new generation of talent.
There are such incredible young people.
In advocacy groups, I've seen.
Resources, credibility, spotlight that I can bring.
That's something that I think I can do well. I think Michelle can do well.
That's part of what makes me optimistic about our future because I know.
Moving into more and more positions of authority then.
Work that has already been done by young people.
Weeks at a time, months at a time.
Ended up dominating the news meant that number one.
What I think would have been a big advantage for Hillary objectively her experience her.
Outstanding reputation around the world.
Garner attention and obviously tap into.
a lot of the anxieties and fears that some voters have.
It had some impact just based on.
The coverage. And by the way, I'm talking about mainstream news coverage. I'm not talking about a whole separate set of issues around fake news.
I'm talking about what was in the New York Times and the Washington Post and on the nightly news and.
Increase people's wages and how we're going to.
Provide health care coverage to people and how we're going to deal with.
Major issues like climate change
Monday morning quarterback is always easier to do. And.
What i've said already publicly and i'll repeat.
The parties, the candidates, the media.
Are really going to affect people's day to day lives.
Insults that are flung back and forth
So that it ends up being covered like a reality show or.
Of the fact that this has an impact on some family that's trying to send their kids to college or.
Some veteran who's trying to get their benefits or.
Whether or not some of our young people get sent to a.
A body that is already weakened.
foreign viruses becomes more vulnerable to.
I'm also going to be thinking a lot about.
In my afterlife, my post presidency.
In the context of everyone now acting surprised.
That was the worst kept secret in this town.
Everybody understood that it was reported on Steve. If you go back and look at your stories, if you read.
And those things are then released in drip, drip, drip fashion over the course of months.
Despite the fact that there's nothing in there that's particularly.
As I said, political gossip or routine emails between.
Pretty clear inference that people would draw and did draw.
The Trump campaign and it was hurting the Hillary campaign. That doesn't.
The Trump campaign was coordinating. It just means that.
When you combine that with the fact that.
He hopes to forge a more cooperative relationship with him and focus on.
My only point was we shouldn't now suddenly act as if this is a huge revelation.
Being very careful about it because we had no interest in appearing as if we were putting our thumbs on the scales.
We did what was almost unprecedented, which was.
That the Russians had hacked.
The information was that was now being released was a.
As a consequence of a decision by Russian intelligence.
Is now assessing, which was it was done purposefully to.
In the direction of a particular candidate.
Shouldn't be a surprise to anybody and in fact isn't a surprise to anybody
The issue now is not really litigating the election. The issue now is for us to learn lessons.
And we will at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it.
But Mr. Putin is well aware of my feelings about this because I spoke to him directly about it.
