"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.....

Candidate Trump worked his butt off during the campaign and enough decent voters in the northern blue states flipped the election. Voter fraud and moron, leftist hacks couldn’t pull their corrupt queen over the finish line. It’s troubling though that a thoroughly corrupt manipulative person like Hellary could even be considered for the highest office in the land.
And a lesbian.
Hot coals, broken glass, snakes, black widows and tarantulas wouldn’t have kept the Legion of Patriots from voting FOR Trump and AGAINST this lying, mean, thieving and vile woman.
The bitch will not accept that she is despised by 50% of the US....and that numbers rises with another week of bulls*it excuses....of course being tossed into the back of a van like a sack of potatoes wasn’t noticed by anyone
Just let her have the penmanship award.
Don't be ridiculous. Oh, wait. Maybe...
Terrific summary. Thanks.
They own the News Media, they own the Education System, they own the Entertainment Industry, they run Washington D.C. and they own the Language.
Why aren’t I ahead by 50 Points you might ask?
Sigh...
That’s awesome to watch.
Relief Day
Now tell Hillary and her voters to shut up and move on.
The evidence was available for all to see.
Trump Rallies were packed with throngs who wanted to gt in but couldn’t, Hillary couldn’t even fill a broom closet at the same time.
The mdiots and pollster were gaslighting the public in hopes that they could push her over the finish line.
It was never about her and her being capable, it was that she was a vagina...nothing else, Like Obastard, it was going to be historic, etc, etc,
On election day, I was resigned to a Hillary victory. Turned the news on early, and it showed her leading in FL, NC, VA, etc. Turned it off and did something else. A couple hours later, the wife said something about “Trump’s doing pretty good”. I tuned into FoxNews and spent several hours in a state of sick-to-my-stomach nervous excitement, all the way up to the glorious report of her concession call to Trump.
Best Election Night Ever
I liked the very end. “Now they’re not laughing.”
How true, how true.
They thought it would work. After all, it had worked for decades.
>Plus she’s not a nice lady
Excellent summation.
Honey, you were never winning, except in your mind and the minds of the leftist media.
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They’re not laughing anymore
The walls came down
