The best humblebrag of the year came from the Queen of Humble, Hillary Clinton, and her surrogates:

“I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey’s letter on October 28th and Russian Wikileaks . . .”

and traditionalist attitudes toward women

and white voters afraid of losing White Privilege

and Democrats doing a poor job of controlling the narrative

and a thousand Russian agents working every day

and content farms in Macedonia

and the TV networks keeping Hillary off the air

and the vast right-wing conspiracy

and Infowars

and Google

and Governor Scott Walker

and Steve Bannon

and Nate Silver

and Citizens United

and the DNC being a mess and in poor shape

and bad polling numbers

and Obama winning two terms

and people wanting change

and the New York Times, cable news, and television executives

and “Eight of the top 10 political documentaries on Netflix were screeds against President Obama and me”

and democrats not making the right documentaries

and the Democrat Party and the Republican Party

and concerns that Hillary Clinton was involved with a child sex trafficking operation

and concern about Hillary Clinton being a lizard

and high expectations that Hillary would win

and voter suppression

and the Russians ransacking Hillary’s computer files and strategically leaking the truth

and misogyny

and Gary Johnson and Jill Stein voters

and advocacy press on the right

and Facebook

and Twitter

and old, out-of-touch democrats with a flawed message that alienated young voters

and white nationalists

and hatred of Hillary Clinton at the FBI (how could anyone hate a lovable woman like Hillary?)

and FBI investigation

and email scandal

and black voters not liking Hillary

and fewer than 100,000 deplorable voters spread across a handful of states

and people hating Hillary because she is so professional, so polished, such a wonderful lawyer, so brilliant, so good, so righteous, and so much better than us (yes, that was a quote)

and the lack of energy among Hillary supporters and expectations of Hillary being the inevitable winner, because it was her turn

and Robby Mook selecting the wrong travel stops for Hillary and spending heavily in the wrong states

and Hillary’s campaign team failing to hone her message and get voters to the polls

and Bill Clinton’s appearance of an inappropriate meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch

and blatant sexism

and Wikileaks

and the ugly stew of racism

and Hillary’s alleged lack of likability and claimed lack of trustworthiness

and self-hating women

and Evangelical, Catholic, anti-marriage equality, and anti-choice social conservatives

and sinister outside forces

and whitelash

and democrat policies that favor the rich

and failure to talk to working-class white voters

and men

and lower-level FBI agents pressuring their Director (because that’s how professional relationships work)

and Tim Kaine

and white women

and racists

and sexists

and rural voters

and the working class voting against their own interests

and fake news

and supermarket tabloids

and celebrity (The Apprentice)

and white male resentment

and over-shaming Trump supporters

and rejecting Bernie

and Reagan democrats

and backlash against political correctness

. . . but other than those unfair and unexpected setbacks, Hillary was a perfect candidate and should have won.

This was my favorite parable when I was a kid wiggling around on a hard wooden pew: (It shows that humblebragging is nothing new! LOL!)

Luke 18:9-14New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
New International Version (NIV)
