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.

Hil is doing a stellar job of embarrassing herself and anybody who voted for her. Keep going, Hilly! Don’t stop.
Most failures would not be seen as one if they weren’t one.
Duh!
Gas bag...

WTF is wrong with this mutant?
If I finished my doctorate in quantum physics I would have been considered a genius, too.
Alas, I didn't even get around to starting it.

Instead, she’s proven her own statement wrong.

If my ninth grade English teacher had won the Nobel Prize for Medicine she would have been seen as a genius.
But she didn’t.
And she wasn’t.
