Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that she would have been called a "genius" and her campaign "perfect" if she had won the 2016 presidential election.

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.

Just like they did for the pole smoking kenyan.

That remains to be seen, Mrs. Clinton. It is refreshing to see you acknowledging that you actually aren’t intelligent, though.

She an opportunist fraud, populist, and succubus. She’s still on her feet and kicking for every dime she can get as a Clinton Grifter.

It’s her darling fans/supporters that are freakin nuts.

What does it take for these people to wake up to what she truly is, based on her eMails?

And yet they believe stuff about Trump, with absolutely no proof.

Carly Simon comes to mind:

"But you're a legend in your own time
A hero in the footlights
Playing tunes to fit your rhyme
But a legend's only a lonely boy
when he goes home alone"

Wow! Doesn't she look smart on the cover of TIME?
And of all those important looking papers and the pen
in her hand. It all just oozes "I'm smart and important."
Yuck!

A genius doesn’t have an unsecured e-mail server full of classified and sensitive State Department information in her basement.

Super Genius.

So true. So disgusting...

Reagan wouldn’t take his suit jacket off in there. He thought it was inappropriate. (from what I’ve heard)

"Clinton: ‘I would have been seen as a genius’ if I won."

But you didn't.

And now you're seen as a moron.

The delusion is strong with this one.

People like this used to be put in Bellevue in a strait jacket

...and if she had been in the USA I would have voted for Margaret Thatcher.

Hil is doing a stellar job of embarrassing herself and anybody who voted for her.

She is indeed, but I'd still like to read Tim Kaine's coloring book version of "what happened" -- if he isn't too scared to publish one.
