l think you have summed it up perfectly even for Conservative voters as her campaign was a utter disaster from start to finish and even though she had many chances to get out from the looming iceberg on the horizon she had neither the political skills or nous to prevent the oncoming collision.
As l say l am no fan of Corbyn but compared to May he was in a different league campaigning wise in the election as Theresa May seem to have a contemptuous disregard for the electorate in that her plan was to do nothing and expect a landslide at the end of it.
There should have never been a election to start with and whoever advised her to do that should tender their resignation forthwith as it was a clear cynical move for her own electoral advantages that Joe Public quite clearly saw through.
The Conservatives had learned nothing from the Referendum campaign in that negative campaigning does not work as the public are not stupid and see through these things and they saw through that and her media newspaper supporters and their daily running scare stories.
The Conservatives never really set out their own clear plans and when they did announce their manifesto it was a absolutely clear unmitigated disaster whilst Corbyns manifesto seem to go down well even with non Labour supporters so the signs were there.
As we know the rest is history.
