New York (CNN) — 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 International 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."
The event marks the latest where Clinton, in a stinging rebuke to Trump, both blames herself for the 2016 loss but also casts the current President as someone aided by outside factors, including the Russian government.
After Clinton noted the 3 million more votes she won than Trump, Amanpour joked that the President would soon tweet about the comment.
"Fine. Better than the interfering in foreign affairs," Clinton said. "If he wants to tweet about me than I am happy to be the diversion because we have lot of things to worry about. He should worry less about the election and my winning the popular vote than doing some other things that would be important for the country."

“If the ‘Committee of 11’ hadn’t conceived of the Electoral College in August 1787, I would be your president. Damn white heterosexual patriarchy! Damn them all!”
No, Hillary, the Putin-Comey-Trump cabal would have just stomped on your dreams two weeks earlier. (Will that get a primal scream from the Chappaqua woods?)
Yes, I get it. She actually said it this time, not the dozen proxies before her giving excuses--trying to see which one would resonate most with people. Seriously, how many excuses do we have to hear? From Bill, from Chelsea, from Podesta, from Huma?
No one cares. You sucked as a candidate, and if there wasn't all the doubt generated by your previous involvement with any number of scandals, perhaps voters would've overlooked any letter from Comey as a last-ditch effort by Republicans to taint your campaign.

Aye, and if my mother had wheels, she’d be a wagon.
LOL, that is so good.
Another thing to be grateful to the Founding Fathers for...that they did not put October 27th as election day in the Constitution.
I think Clintons team thought they had him blocked in Virginia, Colorado, and Nevada where they cheated and were safe. They didn’t factor on Trump smashing the blue wall mostly because they are so out of touch with the working class. It was poetic justice.
