That headline is...
1. Too funny
2. Too stupid for words
3. Shirking responsibility for the loss
4. Fake news
5. All of the above and then some

Oh, howls of derisive laughter. Too smart? Those garden slugs?
She didn’t lose by 100kvotes. She lost by that, plus the margin of fraud.
Two million? Ten million? Somebody should find out. It’s a perfect opportunity, since Trump won.

Hillary is bitching that she was OWED Wisconsin, even though she didn't set one foot there to campaign.
The secret word is: "hubris".
And what kind of "campaign" was she running, anyway?
Crawl out of her bunker once a week to make an appearance at Hollywood fundraisers, collect millions of $ from donations, then go back into a drunken stupor for some "me time" with Huma for another couple of days.
Then off to Silicon Valley for a 50K/plate fundraiser.
When she deigned to lower herself to the vast unwashed, she could barely fill a high school gym. That's counting the press.
She simply treated the average person like they were crap on her highness' shoe.
Avoiding the press for almost a year helped, too.

Typical leftist arrogance. Even when they lose, it’s because they are too smart and so much better than the Great Unwashed.
For some odd reason, we deplorables don’t appreciate our good fortune in having our betters supervise our lives.

I think the idea is more that they
thought they were smart.
That goes a long way to explain why Team Clinton lost.
They thought they couldn't lose, so they didn't pay attention and didn't do the things they would have needed to do to win.
Saying that they were too smart is part irony, and part a way of softening his criticism to please Hillary voters.

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. Contrasted with "Why aren't I 50 points Ahead???" attitude...
Meaning YOU WORTHLESS SCUM OWE IT TO ME!

Arrogance and presumptuousness not seen since Adlai Stevenson.
To: Trump20162020
I was in a court case once where one of the opposing counsel obviously thought he was smarter than the judge and he consistently acted like it. The attorneys for the other parties started avoiding him in court like he was toxic. No surprise that as the trial went on, the trial judge reamed him—no one was surprised.

Nothing new. Dems also claim Adlai Stevenson lost because he was ‘too smart’.
