Hillary not blaming the right people for stunning election loss
NY Post ^ | September 11, 2017 | John Crudele

Hillary Clinton missed mentioning the three people who actually were responsible for her election defeat last year.

Hurricane Hillary blew through the news almost as powerfully as Harvey and Irma last week when excerpts of her book, “What Happened,” leaked to certain publications.

Most Democrats hated what she wrote, but that’s another story altogether.

I have some sympathy for Hillary, who’ll go down in history as the biggest bungler of what everyone — except me — considered the surest thing there ever was.

In a minute, after building up just the right amount of suspense, I will mention the names of the three people Hillary should blame in her next book — if any publisher is foolish enough to let her write it.

“What Happened” is available in stores this week and, if we are lucky, nobody will buy it and Clinton can melt off into the quiet retirement that should have begun immediately after her embarrassing defeat to Donald Trump last November.

Clinton apparently does blame herself somewhat for the loss — as difficult as that must have been for someone that self-centered.

But she mostly placed responsibility on, in no particular order, former FBI Director James Comey (who exonerated her of crimes she probably committed), Bernie Sanders (who had the audacity to run a tough primary campaign against her), President Obama (who had the nerve to revive Clinton’s professional career after she lost to him in 2008) and the Zamboni driver at Madison Square Garden (who I threw in here just to see whether you are paying attention).

Who’d she miss? Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen. This past presidential election was about the economy, which we now know was doing a lot worse than was being revealed by Washington at the time of the election.

In the end you could call it a perfect storm but the eye of it was Hillary and every book she writes, every speech she makes and every interview she gives shows how bad she really was. I wonder if she is going to Wisconson for her book tour?

I don’t want that vile, evil cretin to be ignored. I want her to continue sucking up the leftist oxygen so no other enemy of America can emerge as the socialist leader of the Democrat Party. The more she talks, the bigger President Trump’s reelection margin will be.

Going into 2016, I was confident Hillary would lose. People just don’t like her. I have to admit, though, that the nomination of Trump made me less certain.

She’s blaming everybody but herself, in true Clinton style.

One item overlooked by people who couldn’t see past Trump-hatred is the state of the economy; nobody wanted to admit the Kenyan Pirate was a disaster for the US economy, and that was probably the most significant factor in Trump’s win.

What amazes me is how calm and choreographed the response to Hillary's near unconsciousness. That must not have been the first time that happened - just the first time shown on camera. I wonder how many times the MSM saw it but burned the recordings.

Look at that clip!I can’t get over the fact that the half dead, blue pantsuit thing, wanted to waltz into the Kenyans crib.

She looked in the mirror—and it cracked.

So—she decided to look elsewhere!

Hillary was counting on the fact most people would vote for a turd as long as they are Democrat. After all that is what happened in 2008 and again in 2012. Well folks Hillary is not even a decent turd and after 8 years of enduring a turd in the White House it was enough for most

Who was responsible for her loss? No. 1 Herself and pretty much equal to her in responsibility Trump. End of story. All the other stuff is background noise.

The folks responsible for Hillary’s loss? The folks that didn’t shut down her private email server at its first use. The folks that didn’t shut down her RICO violation of a Foundation. The folks that suggested she try to cover up Benghazi.

Give her a break ... she can’t blame herself because she can not be seen in a mirror.

Stunning loss only to her.

There is one group she could blame, if she has any moments of clarity or sobriety.

Hillary, go ahead. Blame us, the Deplorables! You’d actually be correct!

So they still think we believe she had “the flu” and that is why she was having a myoclinic seizure? One of the six or so caught on camera?

Can you imagine if on the campaign trail there were videos of Trump seizing up everywhere? And his injection holding “SS agent” threw him into the back of a van like a corpse?

The media HID or IGNORED her serious condition. They should have a congressional hearing on Fake News on this very topic, and not allow ANY media company access to the airwaves if they ignored such a story. (Should, but Congress is happy lapping at the enemedia feet.)
