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 dont 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.
Margaret Thatcher (or Jeanne Kirkpatrick), definitely!!
Socialist clowns like Hillary Clinton or Angela Merkel, no way!!
Will somebody please take the magic mushrooms away from this loser?
If that happened it would be just what was expected.
If it happened, HRC might think that she was a genius, but nobody else would.
BTW, does her logic make Trump, who won when few thought he would, a genius?
But now, not.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas!
Trump won and ran a perfect campaign, so that makes HIM a genius.Most of us knew that but thanks, Hillary!.
Awesome comment! Reminds me of a song by a little known, but amazing talent, Jon Butcher - from his album Axis waaaaay back in the day. I’m sure a cover from someone else but a great song ...anyway, your comment reminded me of it.

I must say I am truly enjoying Her Heinousness meltdown!
She’s totally ate up with pride, a real basket case sociopath!
Doubly pleased she is also the Face of the DemonRat party
Keep fighting the good fight, idiot!
I’m sorry. I did a search, and your article did not come up. I’ll ask the mods to yank mine.
“If frogs had wings, their butts wouldn’t hit the ground when they jumped.”
Republicans all over the country should engage with her comments, challenge her accounts of the campaign, keep her front and center in the news..... she is a disaster for the Democrats if she succeeds in prolonging this nonsense.
Instead, you look like a totally self-absorbed idiot, which is a helluva lot more accurate.
awesome !!!!
