“The 1-in-64 odds of Clinton successfully winning six coin flips...”
Odds aren’t really cumulative like that. In each and every coin flip, Clinton had a 50% chance to win, no matter how many she won previously.

Yes, but all in all, 6 straight 50-50 chances coming out in one's favor is still 1 in 64.
“Odds aren’t really cumulative”
The overall chance/odds are cumulative when compared against differing coins at different times. However, each toss separately is 50/50.
