Clinton: 'If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president'
CNN ^ | May 2, 2017 | By Dan Merica

Hillary Clinton delivered her most forceful critique of President Donald Trump's 2016 victory on Tuesday, taking personal responsibility for her failed campaign but also pointed to the timing of a letter from FBI Director James Comey and Russian interference as factors.

"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women event in New York.

"I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate, I was the person who was on the ballot. I am very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we had," Clinton said, before adding that she was "on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off."

Clinton, who is currently writing a book that partly reflects on her 2016 loss, added, "The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days."

Hey Hillary, “If wishes were fishes!” I keep hoping I will wake up, turn on the news, and find out that she's “offed” herself! That is her fastest “way out” of her pain. Maybe she would do us all a favor an “pop” Slick first. That would be quicker than waiting for her diseased body to crap out in the next year or two, and it would give the RATS something to “Mourn.”

It’s called the October Surprise bitch, except this time it happened to you and the democrats unlike the time “your team” did it to GHW Bush that helped your worthless husband get elected in 92.

No, you wouldn’t b!tch.
The people who voted for Trump wanted to end the illegal alien inundation and restore the rule of law.
Two things you were opposed to doing.

Uh no, but honey, we don’t hold the election on that day. The Clintons are disreputable scum of the lowest order.

Tell me Hilary sweetie, is that why you didn’t show up on election night, did you think it had happened on October 27? I guess we should have frozen time on a day this witch thinks she would have won.

“If the election had been on October 27, I would have been drunk off my ass, looking for more booze, and too wasted to come out of my hotel, let alone speak to a room full of people. I would have been pukin my guts out and having aides clean up my vomit, like, with a towel”

I dont believe a single person changed their vote because of that news.

But... it DID give me HOPE when I most needed it!

If the election had been October 27th, 1980, Jimmy Carter may have been president.

What a ding bat.

Yes, it could have been worse. She didn’t face plant on the cement. She came very close though.

Take a look at that “ghost”, and tell me folks saw her as being presidential.

Nope...

She takes full responsibility, but .....

Why is it that Trump took every hit imaginable along the way and STILL won states your party didn’t lose in decades? Guess we just got tired of being raped by Clinton Inc.
