Hillary Clinton Explains Why She Really Lost to Trump
NBC News ^ | April 6, 2017 | Kendall Breitman

Posted on 04/06/2017 8:09:27 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Almost four months after her stunning defeat, Hillary Clinton on Thursday primarily blamed her loss to President Donald Trump on four factors that were beyond her control.

The former Democratic presidential candidate cited Russian meddling in the election, FBI Director James Comey's involvement toward the end of the race, WikiLeaks theft of emails from her campaign chairman, and misogyny.

Clinton's comments came during her first post-election interview at Tina Brown's eighth annual Women in the World Summit in New York City. She was questioned by Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times.

She largely cited these factors for her defeat....

Trump got more electoral votes than the crazy evil bitch did.

That's why he won and she lost.

Da b*tch lost because she is an obnoxious Marxist who was either too sick or too lazy to hold many rallies.

And when she DID bother to get off her butt and hold a rally, the “crowds” were so small they could have easily fit inside the ladies’ room at the local McDonalds.

All criminals are liars. Many begin by lying to themselves. It becomes scarred in their souls. Then when they seek approbation, they are offended by the truth.

She lost because she had so much luggage, there wasn’t a train big enough to carry it all.

#5: She lacked a mirror to see how crooked she was.

Yep, excellent point.

Hillary and these other apologists, never address what a terrible politician and candidate she is.

They keep coming up with these external forces beyond their control as reasons for her losing the election.

Take the FBI investigation, for example. They say that because of James Comey and the on again/off again announcements of investigation proceedings, that this caused her to lose. What they don’t ever address, is what Hillary did that was so suspicious which caused an FBI inquiry to be happening in the first place.

"There are things I could have done better."

She shouldn't be so hard on herself. Sure, she could have done some things better, but would that have mattered with national and international conspiracies and the He-Man Woman Haters Club against her? It wasn't her fault she lost. She didn't blow as a human being and a candidate. She was just another victim.

“Did Kristof ask her how she could ever overcome the part about her having every bit of the charisma and appeal of a water moccasin?”

Its not nice to insult water moccasins. I was thinking that she is more like the marmorated stink bugs that we are infested with in north Idaho. They’re ugly, they crawl all over everything, insecticide doesn’t seem to work well on them, and when irritated they let off a foul odor. Come to think of it, that pretty much describes all libturds.

A very telling comment that of her reasons for her defeat none of them had to do with her. It’s typically of the modern day leftist they can never look inward to explain their failures. Its a trait not only of leftist politicians but of many of their voters. God has shown great mercy on America by sparing this land of her.

Time and Parkinson’s Disease are solving the problem of Hillary Clinton. Good possibility she will be at or near full incapacitation by 2020, and she knows it.
