Oh wait...it wasn't.

The argument about running away from Obama was bad is she didn't couldn't embrace his successes either. For example, she couldn't run on how people love KyNect because that's running on Obamacare. KyNect is so beloved that McConnell had to lie about it continuing to exist without Obamacare.

Could not running against Obama have increased turnout? No way to really know. But the analysis is not nearly as simple as you imply.
