"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.....

Geez was she born with thunder thighs?
Huma’s on a new diet. She stopped eating meat. No more wieners for her. Now she exclusively eats urine, cabbage, and farts.
Hillary looks like one of Charles Manson’s girls in the photo. I can just see her coming at me with a fork.
The Bad Seed.
There seemed to be a genuine connection between candidate Trump and the public. At his core Trump likes people and is an extrovert - HRC just sees us people as the masses and a means to an end.
The projection has continued to this day. Daily HRC comes out and says things rooted from the hate in her heart - whereas president Trump is showing and doing just the opposite.
The discredited media spins it like he is some hateful bigot imposing a racist/sexist regime upon America. Just like HRC election campaign this smear campaign isn't working.
There has been a major realignment of peoples priorities and how politics is viewed in general by almost all voters - there is less red team blue team crap and realization that uniparty politicians have no intention of actually solving problems rather just use them to exploit the public and drive wedges between us.
Nobody who was paying attention came out of the 2016 election the same way they went in. This was one of the most if not the most historic elections in the history of the country and at the time when it has its largest population.
As Trump continues to work his MAGA agenda people are noticing it soon (before the mid-term election) people will be wondering:
These questions once asked (prompted by tweets often) answer themselves
The creativity, energy and hard work president Trump is putting is beginning to pay off.
Mueller is going do something stupid everyone will yell about it for a second and nothing will come of his investigation. Its the last dying gasp of a failed coupe attempt and the whole country has witnessed this farce.
Democrats are seeing HRC is going to try to run again that can't happen as she is toxic now to the American voters - I anticipate the HMS Hillary is about to spring lots of leaks as the burn notice on her goes out.
Same type arguments losing teams make. If the game had ended at the half when we were up we’d won.
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” For The Heinous One, it is reliving Election Day 2016 over and over and over.....just like Groundhog Day! If I didn’t hate this beotch, I might feel sorry for her. She is rich, has a daughter and grandchildren, and yet, she is not happy — all because she can’t be POTUS. Pathetic!
Meanwhile Trump was packing them in.
Optics mean a lot in a campaign.
> Turned the news on early, and it showed her leading in FL, NC, VA, etc. Turned it off and did something else. <
Same here. Early on, I heard one commentator say that Hillary was going to win so big that she’d even take Texas. Yep, best election night ever!
Silver, who on election nite had hillary winning 71% to 21% ? That nate silver ?
Oct 27 she’d be president ? right at the time she canceled the Fireworks ?
nice try.
Trump is the reason Hillary lost.
Hillary getting midget tossed into her vanbulance didn’t help either.
> Hillary looks like one of Charles Manson’s girls in the photo. <
I’ve seen that photo (in post #34) many times before. And there was always something odd about it, something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. But you’ve got it. She looks like one of Charles Manson’s girls.
Hillary is completely off the tracks stupid. If the election had been a week earlier the entire campaign would have been moved up as well. Trump's game plan would have been stepped up and the entire season would have been different.
Was she ahead on Oct 27? Probably not. No more than she was ahead on Nov 8. It is all argumentative and specious.
Wonder if in the end will hillsabob massive ego will lead to her own demise ?
Not that she will get the punishment she deserves.
Also, you would think there has to be a few sane democrats that can’t stand this loud mouth self serving corrupt bitter nasty crusty old hag...???
Otherwise, she makes me think of the cocky serial killer, who thinks they will never get caught, taunting the police with clues and what not.
Since we are playing “what if”...
What if Hillary didn’t operate a scheme to hide corrupt practices behind illegal private servers?
What if Hillary’s main squeeze didn’t allow a sex offender to amass and store 650,000 State Dept files including classified data on an unsecured laptop, which she had reported “lost”, recovered during yet another sex offence investigation?
What if the DNC had understood data security?
What if the DNC had murdered Seth Rich sooner?
What if Hillary’s campaign hadn’t been neck deep in efforts to cheat Sanders out of the nomination?
What if right before the election it had come out that HILLARY paid Russian intel officers for fake dirt on Trump and used it to effect the election?
What if there had been a microphone inside the plane when Bill gave Lynch her instructions at Sky Harbor airport?
Lots of things might have changed the outcome of the election. But they didn’t. Bwhahaha.
HA yea. I’ve seen that pic a million times too and this is the first time I made the Charles Manson connection. Maybe cause it was in black and white this time. :)
She lost mainly because the media was so anti-Trump.
Millions of her potential voters thought Trump was so bad that he couldn’t possibly win so it wasn’t necessary to show up to vote.
