On the high, crenelated ramparts of Castle Clinton, a chill breeze is stirring ― a faint but gnawing sense that the White Walkers are coming, wearing “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” baseball caps on their skinless noggins.
If Donald Trump does sack the fortress, no one who lost the battle will want to admit it was Hillary Clinton’s fault. It will have had nothing to do with, say, “transparency” or calling bearded villagers “deplorables” or the Iraq War vote or the simple fact that middle-of-the-road Clintonism ran out of gas as a public philosophy.
No, other individuals, groups and forces will have to be blamed. In fact, they already are, pre-emptively. If Trump wins, we’re all going to be too busy moving to Canada to read the postmortems (or write them), so we offer them to you now: RANK REASON
1 THE MEDIA Everyone’s piñata. Trump will blame the media. Gary Johnson will blame the media. Jill Stein will blame the media. (The media will ask, “Wait, which one was Jill Stein?”)
2 THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING Actually, they arrived long ago and got into her phone.
3 MILLENNIALS Ugh. F**cking idealists, right?
4 BERNIE SANDERS Remember when people worried that running unopposed in the primary would hurt Clinton? It's going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.

Also, "Obit" seems a bit too accurate word choice given Hillary's health...
The answer is easy. Because America is filled with sexists and misogynists who hate to see women get ahead.
Her Senate career was bought with pardons and bribes. Her “reset button” was just a piece of frigging plastic, he SoS diplomacy consisted of getting tanked and visiting some foreign countries and falling down on several occasions, and her media interaction sucks to beat the band.
Even those sycophantic media types who are obliged to cover her nicely are pissed.
She’s OLD. She’s VERY sick, and she’s a Drunk, IMO.
The big problem is that the Clinton Cheerleaders actually consider her to be "middle-of-the-road. She's an Alinsky radical. She's a Bill Ayers extremist.
Yep. Sexism was on the list, of course.
Clinton's health failed her.
Just like 2008, she is an inept campaigner.
No one wants what she is selling.
We might also add that her chickens have come home to roost.
The comments are interesting.
They didn’t get the memo at HuffPo...it’s anti-intellectualism!
They see the Hillary loss coming hard.
I’m listening to a radio show now where a long clip of Hillary defending muslims in the wake of the bombs in New York and New Jersey is being played.
That’s why she’s going to lose. She is insulated from terror, possessed by political correctness and therefore has no idea how the rest of the country feels about it.
Bye Felicia.
Not to mention that she is more or less forced to defend the Obama Administration which is increasingly indefensible.
When one side starts talking about who will take the blame for losing, it means that it's over. The contestants might not know it yet, but it's over.
Let me guess: Its NEVER Hillary’s fault.
Never mind she’s a terrible candidate and congenital liar.
The writing is on the wall. LOVE IT!!!!
Her husband was middle of the road.
Hillary on the other hand is a radical feminist and true leftist believer.
You can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig.
Same is true with Hillary’s core beliefs no matter how often they try to rebrand her.
Hillary is done.
