You can review what you guys were saying when the Russian hacked emails were being dribbled out at the tail end of the election. Along with the FBI inserting itself into the election to help Trump I watched a big Clinton lead dwindle down to a couple of points. Your logic that stuff like a gossipy Podesta emails has to be either enough to lose the popular vote or had no effect honestly seems dumb.
Keep blaming everyone but your flawed candidate and her flawed campaign. The fact of the matter is that
even Bill knew she was screwing up but no one would listen to him.
- As it became clear on Tuesday night that Mrs. Clinton would lose to Donald J. Trump, supporters cast blame on everything from the news media to the F.B.I. director’s dogged pursuit of Mrs. Clinton over her personal emails, and to a deep discomfort with electing a woman as president.
But as the dust settled, Democrats recognized two central problems of Mrs. Clinton’s flawed candidacy: Her decades in Washington and the paid speeches she delivered to financial institutions left her unable to tap into the anti-establishment and anti-Wall Street rage.
And she ceded the white working-class voters who backed Mr. Clinton in 1992. Though she would never have won this demographic, her husband insisted that her campaign aides do more to try to cut into Mr. Trump’s support with these voters. They declined, reasoning that she was better off targeting college-educated suburban voters by hitting Mr. Trump on his temperament.
Instead, they targeted the emerging electorate of young, Latino and African-American voters who catapulted Mr. Obama to victory twice, expecting, mistakenly, that this coalition would support her in nearly the same numbers. They did not.
Early on, Mr. Clinton had pleaded with Robby Mook, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager, to do more outreach with working-class white and rural voters. But his advice fell on deaf ears.
Another narrative by M E M and the DNC/Left easily disproven by the facts.
It wasn't the Russians, it wasn't FBI director Comey, it wasn't "fake news" (IRONY, how the Obama/Hillary-adoring media tries to float that one!), it wasn't any unfair leverage unleashed against Hillary.
Despite that she out-spent Trump more than 2-to-one, despite having the collective media on her side, despite every dirty trick unleashed on Trump, despite even the Republican establishment attacking and undermining Trump, Trump still won.
Fair and square.
By campaigning harder, and campaigning on the issues that mattered to the public, and with a stated resolve to actually change course, that we have seen implemented with incredible speed in the last 7 days.
