You're talking about Democrats, though. I'm talking about the kind of
candidate who could have won over the floating/undecided voters in the
swing states.

 Most of whom weren't well educated, and were susceptible to Trump's lies.
 A Democrat candidate who could have out-lied him is conceivable, but no name springs to mind. Trump has been lying on a industrial scale for most of his career and has a string of bankruptcies to show for it.
 The take-away message is that America needs to clean up it's secondary education system, but it is unique in that it's primary and secondary education system is run and paid for by tiny school districts.
 The US constitution was written before universal education was economically feasible - it took Turnip Townsend's agricultural revolution to make it possible - and education isn't a responsibility of the nation or the individual states.
 

Trump managed to attract a significant fraction of the Jewish-American, Muslim-American, _and_ neo-Nazi/white supremacist vote simultaneously, a rather remarkable feat in its way. Maybe he should get a Nobel peace prize, lol..
