In an interview with WNYC, the former secretary of State reflected on being the first female presidential nominee of a major political party. She said that because of the hurdles women face, she would have been hailed as brilliant if she won.
"I thought it was pretty revolutionary that I was the first woman to have a realistic chance of becoming president,” Clinton said. “So I don’t know how any woman who is not familiar to people, since we have so many hurdles to overcome, could have even been in that position that I found myself.
“So if I had won, you know, I would have been seen as a genius; my campaign would have been seen as perfect,” she added. “I understand all of that.”
Clinton, who led Donald Trump in the polls for months ahead of the November election, eventually lost the electoral vote to the Republican nominee, but won the popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots.
Clinton's comments drew a sarcastic response from former Trump White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
"And 'if' I won the lottery I'd be rich," Spicer wrote on Twitter.
God bless Sean Spicer. That was a 2X4 comeback. Hahahahaha
Let’s see, if Al Gore, Barack Obama, and Jimmy Carter won Nobel Prizes they’d be seen as geniuses...... wait, they did and they aren’t.

Funny, because according to the left, Trump was an idiot.
How did you lose to an “idiot”?
I’m embarrassed. It’s really sad, but hey, it’s probably about the money. Have we have anything on the number of book sales, reviews?
The only woman I would have ever voted for was Jeane Kirkpatrick...and I would have done it without hesitation. She was brilliant and NOT self-serving.
Non one who would willingly take the job of president.
Unlike Charlie Brown, she doesn’t have to lose to be called a goat.
In a way, she’s right, because she’d have the adoring synchophantic lying pathological media blowing wind in her sails for her eight year reign of terror.
And we all thought Wile E Coyote was just a cartoon character:
yeah, right... 
Her only "genius" moment was to decide not to campaign as she would have lost by even more than she did.
If my Uncle were a woman..?
He’d be MY AUNT..!
How do you like that, eh..?
Pretty novel, huh..?
