Clinton: ‘I would have been seen as a genius’ if I won

Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that she would have been called a "genius" and her campaign "perfect" if she had won the 2016 presidential election.

In an interview with WNYC, the former secretary of State reflected on being the first female presidential nominee of a major political party. She said that because of the hurdles women face, she would have been hailed as brilliant if she won.

"I thought it was pretty revolutionary that I was the first woman to have a realistic chance of becoming president,” Clinton said. “So I don’t know how any woman who is not familiar to people, since we have so many hurdles to overcome, could have even been in that position that I found myself.

“So if I had won, you know, I would have been seen as a genius; my campaign would have been seen as perfect,” she added. “I understand all of that.”

Clinton, who led Donald Trump in the polls for months ahead of the November election, eventually lost the electoral vote to the Republican nominee, but won the popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots.

Clinton's comments drew a sarcastic response from former Trump White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

"And 'if' I won the lottery I'd be rich," Spicer wrote on Twitter.

Instead, she’s seen as a dufus, liar, thief and traitor. :)

No. If you had managed to beat the guy that you, your supporters, and your cronies all believed (and still believe) was an idiot, then you’d really just be just a step above that. That’s an imbecile, not a genius, “genius”.

But you didn’t. What’s a step below an idiot called again?

Most failures would not be seen as one if they weren’t one.

Philosophy and logic?

Priceless!

The proof is in the pudding. Since you didn’t win, the verdict is you’re a vile, corrupt, incinsere moron.

Toss that pudding in the garbage.

I bet they had to draw straws to decide who would tell her she lost (Podestaaa?). Either that or last on board, first bruised with an ashtray (Mook?).

Let’s see... if it weren’t for her marriage of convenience to Bill the womanizer, no one would have ever heard of her.

Guess what, Hillary—women who ride their husband’s coattails are not women of accomplishment. Demonstrate to us that you have actually achieved something using your own talents, education, and skills. You can’t, can you?

If you have to tell people you’re smart, you aren’t.

Great still shot. Hillary, the Buffoon, is captivated by balloons in the air like a toddler.

***So if I had won, you know, I would have been seen as a genius; my campaign would have been seen as perfect,” she added. “I understand all of that.”***

She understands very little.

And Willie? He looks like he’s pointing at his latest mistress, telling her he can’t wait to jump her bones, just as soon as he gets his clown wife put to bed for the night.

I think she has two accomplishments to her name...ordering more “wet works” than Capone and Gotti combined AND single handedly (or double fistedly) keeping the liquor industry in business.

Well, it's tough to be here. Not all of us literally crapped our pants and collapsed into a van, and had the video of it viewed by millions of people.

She sounds like one of the dumb criminals from the old Home Alone movies.
