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

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.

LOL!

It’s a very old saying, from the 16th or 17th century; Wiki says these are modern updates:

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches, I’d wear one by my side.
If “if’s” and “and’s” were pots and pans,
There’d be no work for tinkers’ hands.

... and a shorter version:

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
If turnips were bayonets, I’d wear one by my side.

I might even buy her book as a study in how a genuine psychosis grows and matures. Even I never imagined it would show such a,well matured, totally psychotic condition. For the next several generations shrinks are going to study it for total psychotic self-revelation.

Doesn't it stop?

She's truly demented and nuts, and we're blessed that she lost.
