Reliving the day Hillary Clinton says cost her the election, one year later
CNN Politics ^ | October 28, 2017 | Gregory Krieg

"I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter, on October 28th, and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. And the evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling, persuasive, and so we overcame a lot in the campaign, we overcame an enormous barrage of negativity, of false equivalency and so much else, but as Nate Silver, who doesn't work for me, he's an independent analyst, but one considered to be very reliable, has concluded: If the election had been on October 27th, I'd be your president."

On May 2, 2017, Hillary Clinton sat down for a conversation with CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women International event in New York. Nearly six months out from Election Day, Clinton said she took "absolute personal responsibility" for its outcome -- but her remarks strayed from there. In a now famous riff, Clinton paraphrased a tweet from FiveThirtyEight.com's Nate Silver, who said former FBI Director Jim Comey's letter to Congress, delivered 11 days before the vote, shaved off a fateful sliver of her support, enough to ultimately deliver the presidency to Donald Trump.

In a brisk note, Comey told lawmakers that the FBI had "learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation" of Clinton's personal server -- the same probe Comey had said over the summer was effectively over. The bureau, he added now, "cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant, and I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work."

Meting out blame (or claiming credit) for Clinton's loss has become a full-time concern for countless interested parties across the political spectrum.....

I think Comey was playing both sides.

I remember Nate Silver saying that, if the election were held November 6, Hillary would be president. He was wrong on both counts.

Hillary voters are nuts. Nothing would deter them.

...

And if the game ended after three quarters, Atlanta would be the Super Bowl champions.

Numerous Trump voters could not be kept from the polls, even with numerous claims that Trump had no chance of winning at all.

No.
She coughed and fainted through the final 2 months of the campaign.
She decided to rest and relax out of the public eye, while Trump was storming 5 states per day.

Plus people had had their belly full of collectivism and loss of rights under Obama, and were ready for a change of course.

Plus she’s not a nice lady and has a massive negative perception in most of the nation.

Her 9/11 face plant didn't help much, either.

That’s what I was thinking, too. Up to 90 minutes before the results these same nitwit pollsters were predicting a Hillary blow out.

And I like them to find one honest Hillary supporter (yeah... I know. Fat chance) who would admit they didn’t vote for her based on Comey or Wikileaks. That’s just more delusional lies from the witch.

Hey, government? Are you listening? Would you PLEASE indict this creature and get it off the streets so there’s NO CHANCE of it ever running for President again. Please?
