It just comes down to charisma, Clinton wasn't a likeable enough candidate.
And she still beat Trump by almost 2 million votes in the popular vote.
If Trump cannot deliver everything he promised, Democrats will have a good shot at retaking traditionally blue states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin and they'll win next time.
