The hardest thing about explaining very close election defeats is that you can talk yourself into believing any number of factors, large or small, could have made the crucial difference. Hillary Clintons defeat came down to 100,000 votes in three states out of nearly 130 million cast nationally. Thats a deficit so tiny that the search for a single culprit will probably take political detectives down the dark road to madness.
It is understandable that within the ranks of the Clinton campaigns own high command, it is an article of faith that FBI director James Comey cost HRC the presidency by making the ridiculous email-server issue the dominant subject of conversation during the crucial last days of the campaign. It was an external event that came out of the blue (or more specifically, out of the fevered libido of Anthony Weiner) and reinforced doubts about Clintons trustworthiness among a small group of undecided voters in key states.

Arrogance. Manipulation. Scheming. Intimidation. Collusion. Subversion. Lying. Retribution. On and on and on.
EVIL!
Trump turned Blue states Red. Not a trivial factor, jackass.
“it is an article of faith that FBI director James Comey cost HRC the presidency” Usually the false premise comes at the beginning if the article. They must be getting smarter to put it in later.
HAHAHA!
Yeah, that’s the ticket, they tried every other excuse....*LOLOLOL*...poor bass turds got aways to go to alien abduction.

“...very close election defeats”

Say what?
It’s amazing how many Idiots voted for Hillary
I think these people had better rethink the definition of Smart.
One thing to consider is success is a result of being smart.
Another thing for them to consider is Actions speak louder than words. They talk a mile a minute but when it’s time to act...Failure!
Hillary and the Democrats lost the lelection the day she uttered the words, “...Basket of Deplorables”. Up to that point, Trump support was out there, but it was fractured, and hidden.
But that statement, which focus-grouped VERY well with the media and lesbians, designed to be played like the racist card, made it CLEAR to anyone not living in the liberal la-la bubble just how ARROGANT these people really were.
It was a coordinated, oft-repeated, pre-prepared talking point that blow up like a nuclear bomb in their faces.
As I’ve said before, Hillary lost because too many people came to see what she really is. A combination of every fault and corruption but lacking even minimal sincerity or principles.
Yeah, that’s it, they were, ah, too smart, too smart to win!
The candidate has to listen and act, though, and before pointing too many fingers at the staff for professional malpractice we have to consider that deaf ears and stubborn arrogance are equally deadly. Could be both here.
Horse puckey. The had all their voter fraud in place in the large cities, but didn’t count on the turnout in suburbs where they voted against Hillary.
The author is mentally deranged. His candidate lost the election and he is claiming it is because they were so smart. His picture in no way looks to prove his point as he looks like he is asleep and a mind-numbed zombie.
That said, I only scanned the article; and that brief exposure was nearly nauseating.
Trump total margin of victory in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania - less than 80,000.
Total votes cast - almost 137 million.
Also of interest:
2012 - Obama Total Votes - 65.9 million
2016 - Clinton Total Votes - 65.8 million
Trump, Has a tendency to grow on you. And he campaigned like crazy. He made sure that every voted out there knew he was fighting for their vote.
Which is why a friend of ours cast his first vote for a Republican in his entire 60 odd years.
