I didn’t recall any blame pointed to the mirror... but I do remember the Electoral College being vilified.

Actually, that Ben Garrison “Hillary Revere” cartoon sums it up the best in terms of excuses. And it’s even more relevant now than when it was first originally posted!

That surprising loss was not in any way Hillary’s fault, at least not according to her and her cheerleaders. She says “I take responsibility” but only in a context that explains why the loss was not in any way her fault. The list you posted is woefully incomplete. My list missed a few, but each of the following came from Hillary, from one of her drones, or from a pro-Hillary article - I am not creative enough to have made these up.

93. American voters finding her insufferable because of Hillary’s confidence in her own Christian virtues, which represent America’s exceptional virtue, elected Trump.

92. Hillary’s very bad luck elected Trump.

91. A culture of grievance, victimhood, and scapegoating among hillbillies elected Trump.

90. Hillary’s beauty regime taking 600 hours away from the campaign elected Trump.

50. People wanting change elected Trump.

49. The New York Times, cable news, and television executives elected Trump.

3. Rejecting Bernie elected Trump.

2. Reagan democrats elected Trump.

1. Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
