This does not make my list. 1. There is no indication that the authors are Hillary surrogates. 2. The study is fatally flawed, but the error appears to be innocent or narrowly political (anti-war, rather than anti-Trump), rather than Trump-bashing. In fact, since supporting our military is a good surrogate for supporting America’s Constitution and America’s borders, the military deaths are really a measure of regional support for Trump’s campaign promises - a lurking variable. As much as I would enjoy adding this excuse to the mix, I don’t think it meets the criteria, so the old list stands:

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
It's an excellent list. But I still don't get how she lost.
Here was a woman of great health and boundless energy. Remember the 9/11 memorial day in NYC? I mean, with the sweltering heat of that balmy September, who wouldn't feel a little dizzy?
Did our eyes deceive us? We thought we saw a woman waiting for the van who totally collapsed: her cankles giving way, her body keeling over, and her guards throwing her into the van.
But this visual narrative must have been an illusion, because there she was -- only two hours later -- making a glorious appearance outside of Chelsea's apartment!
Wearing sunglasses and the same pantsuit she wore at the memorial event, she waved to the crowd standing by herself and looking quite chipper. Suddenly, a little girl runs past the security to greet her. So in 45 seconds she made this miraculous appearance and then climbed into the van on her own power to presumably go shopping.
I tell you, this woman's vitality is absolutely amazing! /sarc

Now at the time, there were Deplorable conspiracy theory liars out there who claimed Hillary actually had a "medical episode" at the 9/11 memorial event. And they further claimed the person who appeared outside Chelsea's apartment was not Hillary, but a body double.
Fortunately, we have the fact checking site Snopes.com who investigated and confirmed that, no, the well-known Hillary impersonator, Teresa Barnswell, was not in New York that day, proving the body double story was totally Fake News.
Hillary, I do hope you'll run again for President in 2020. The path's being laid out for you to make your third run for POTUS. In fact, your enemies are miraculously committing suicide again.
