President Barack Obama reflected just days before leaving office on the many causes of Hillary Clinton's upset 2016 loss – and considered how things might have turned out had key actors including Bill and Hillary Clinton made 'different decisions.'
Obama made the comments off the record during a meeting with progressive columnists just three days before being succeeded by Donald Trump following the bitter election, where Clinton won the popular vote but Trump prevailed in the Electoral College.
A transcript was included in a cache of documents the Justice Department provided to Bloomberg as part of a FOIA request – apparently by accident.

And of course her wonderful personality...

Well yeah. There’s the fact that she sucked as a candidate and is a distinctly unlikeable person. There’s that.

Huh. Hillary blamed the Russians for interfering with the vote counts, and numerous pundits and Democrat second-stringers backed up her assertion.

...from Clinton's decision to maintain a private email server in her home...Hussein knew nothing about any of it? C'mon man. The Kenyan remains scandal free. Quite the record.

To boil it down, Obama thinks Hillary lost because she got caught.

I bet Obama thinks he won the first time because he is so brilliant and handsome! Obama might have been lying to the journalists, off the record.

He knew. And IIRC, he used a pseudonym when communicating with her over that server.

She underestimated how much she had to cheat. They didn’t make that mistake with the potato.

There's also the fact that people were sick of obama and voted for someone who was the exact oppsite of him. That and the fact that Hillary is revolting caused her to lose the election.

Obama accepts none of the blame. A lot of people supported Trump because they thought that the country had gone in the wrong direction and because they disapproved of Obama’s attempts to fundamentally change America.
