Here's a list of everyone Hillary Clinton blamed this week for 2016 (she's not on it)
Washington Examiner ^ | April 7, 2017 | T. Becket Adams

Posted on 04/09/2017 2:49:40 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton emerged from the woods this week for her first big interview since the Nov. 8 election.

Over the course of her soft-focus conversation with the New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, the former secretary of state identified some of the reasons she thinks she lost to President Donald Trump.

Clinton blamed FBI director James B. Comey, who re-opened the investigation of her private emails in the final days of the campaign. She also blamed Russia for allegedly meddling in the election by reportedly hacking the personal email accounts of Democratic National Committee staffers and her campaign chairman, John Podesta.

She blamed the hacking group WikiLeaks for publishing the stolen emails during the election.

Clinton blamed the "weaponization of information."

She also jokingly blamed her chief Democratic primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and media for her general election loss.

"To what extent do you assign blame to Bernie Sanders, to media for focusing on emails – " Kristoff started to ask.

"How much time do we have?" Clinton laughed after checking her watch.

She also blamed misogyny.

[Snip]

Notably absent, however, from Clinton's hall of blame were mentions of the many things her campaign got wrong.

The point of this isn't to pile on or twist the knife, but Clinton and her campaign got a lot wrong. They need to own it instead of just blaming Putin and misogyny.

Why?

Clinton will never run again, so why not go on blaming others? It is the Clinton/Democrat way.

Democrats have been blaming others for their errors and faults for decades.

That and flat out lies have been the key to Democrat’s successes for a long time.

I see no signs of the Democrats changing that time tested strategy anytime soon.

"her health issues" indeed.

I don't think we have ever seen anything like her 9/11 seizure, broadcast for all to see, never mind it coming two months before the election. This might be the most amazing 30 seconds of straight-up video reporting I have seen in my life.

Wow....speaking the truth is now "weaponization."

She, and other progressives, still don't understand why they lost.

She also blamed Russia for allegedly meddling in the election

And why on Earth would an increasingly aggressive, expansionist Russia prefer a strong-on-defense team like Trump-Pence over a very weak democrat one? Obama practically decimated our military. And it wasn't as a result of 'incompetence' or 'inexperience', but rather deliberate intent. Part of his "fundamental transformation of the United States" was to significantly reduce our military capacity to the point where we wouldn't be the sole superpower. He handed KGB Putin everything he wanted in terms of all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin is so crazy about.

Not only did the Traitor-In-Chief do those things, his admin also allowed the transfer of 20% of our uranium production to the Russians! (via the largely ignored Uranium One scandal). In fact, just a month or so ago the Russians provided a bunch of that uranium to Iran. See my FR home for lots more on all this.

"Notably absent, however, from Clinton's hall of blame were mentions of the many things her campaign got wrong."

Most notable among these things was a failure to comprehend the basic arithmetic of the Electoral College.

Who told her never to even bother to visit Wisconsin, not even once? Trump? Putin?

“Jitterbug eyeballs”

LOL! On El Rushbo’s TV show in 1993 there was footage of Hillary doing a victory jitterbug with the Women’s Congressional Caucus. It looked like a bunch of middle aged dykes grooving to 50’s sounds. The floor must have shook under their weight.

The author needs to read FR. I’ve been posting the ever-growing list for months:

Wikileaks elected Trump.

FBI investigation elected Trump.

Email scandal elected Trump.

Men elected Trump.

Misogyny elected Trump.

FBI Director Comey elected Trump.

Lower-level FBI agents pressuring their Director (because that’s how professional relationships work) elected Trump.

Tim Kaine gave Hillary Virginia, but he also elected Trump.

White women elected Trump.

The Russians elected Trump.

Racists elected Trump.

Sexists elected Trump.

Rural voters elected Trump.

The working class voting against their own interests elected Trump.

Fake news elected Trump.

Facebook elected Trump.

Supermarket tabloids elected Trump.

Celebrity (The Apprentice) elected Trump.

White male resentment elected Trump.

Over-shaming Trump supporters elected Trump.

Rejecting Bernie elected Trump.

Reagan democrats elected Trump.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein voters elected Trump.

Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

In a sane country that would have ended her campaign.

Dang! What do I have to do to get on that list? She can just lump me in with a larger group called “voters”.

One of the many symptoms brought on by the insanity of the liberalism disease is the inability to face reality...or the truth. A liberal mind has no ability to handle such things. Their mental reasoning capacity rivals that the “Walking Dead”.

No mention of Podesta and his inability to come up with a more creative password... LOL. Hopefully the media continues to goad Hillary into running yet again in 2020. It would be fun to watch the Democrats fight amongst each other again.
