Clinton: 'If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president'
CNN ^ | May 2, 2017 | By Dan Merica

Hillary Clinton delivered her most forceful critique of President Donald Trump's 2016 victory on Tuesday, taking personal responsibility for her failed campaign but also pointed to the timing of a letter from FBI Director James Comey and Russian interference as factors.

"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women event in New York.

"I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate, I was the person who was on the ballot. I am very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we had," Clinton said, before adding that she was "on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off."

Clinton, who is currently writing a book that partly reflects on her 2016 loss, added, "The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days."

Clearly, elections should be held in October. I’m seeing the light.

That's what she thinks. I'll bet Comey and/or wiki didn't change 10 votes. Look at the demographics. She was dependent on all the factions...Blacks, Hispanics, womens vote.

Oops....forgot about one group...the working folks.

Gads, the woman can’t just let it go and realize that she L-O-S-T.

Comey had nothing to do with it, and Russia even more certainly had nothing to do with it. People, even Dems, just didn’t like her, and that was a known fact from the beginning. Known to everybody but her, I guess.

She was planning to be President for 50 years (and threatening America with it for 25).

I'm so glad Trump kicked her butt.

I guess this is why Trump elected to keep Comey on the job.

By the time she does he’ll be willing to do absolutely ANYTHING in exchange for protection from Leftist lynch mobs.

This is what she calls "taking responsibility." Truly this is deranged thinking. Hillary Clinton as President would have been a clear and present danger to the Republic.

“I’d be taking your guns and putting coal workers out of work right now. I’d be telling you all how deplorable you are from my seat of power, and handing your country over to illegal aliens. I’d be raking in cash from Saudi Arabia and lecturing you how to be tolerant to those who want to kill you.”
