In fact, the portrait of the Clinton campaign that emerges from these pages is that of a Titanic-like disaster: an epic fail made up of a series of perverse and often avoidable missteps by an out-of-touch candidate and her strife-ridden staff that turned “a winnable race” into “another iceberg-seeking campaign ship.”

Oddly, no mention of her health problems. I really thought that video, of her collapsing on 9/11, should have been her campaign’s death knell. But her most ardent supporters, BIG MEDIA, pushed that video to the background, so most people didn’t even see it. She is a malignant narcissist, just like her husband AND Obama. Democrats seem to suffer from a belief that they are as fantastic as the Media tells people they are.

Yep, just like a broken record..."There was a perfect storm of other factors, of course, that contributed to Clinton’s loss, including Russian meddling in the election to help elect Trump"

HRC - and the entire planet, it turns out - were not notified that their vote fraud, both paper and electronic, was infiltrated by O’Keefe and the players aborted mission on election night, in the swing states.

Millennials deciding which data to feed ADA, instead of silverbacks like Carville, kept them running on bad assumptions starting in January right up to the end.

With the support and compliance of virtually all the media, the Hollywood elites aid, bogus polling to sway voters, an avalanche of “Fake News”, and the benefit of getting debate questions in advance one would think that Hillary should have won by 20 points.

A crappy candidate ran a crappy campaign and then called half the country “deplorable”. “Why aren’t I fifty points ahead you might ask”. Because you’re an incompetent obnoxious idiot.

‘You might ask, why am I not ahead by 50 points?!’

No, no, it should have been 50 points, according to Hillary.

All of those subtleties may be true to varying degrees, but in the end, it is my strong belief that HRC showed herself to be a colossal, unbridled and flagrant liar and self-dealer, and this became quite offensive to the suburban housewife with kids. Yes, white ones. And it wasn’t subtle. All those suburban women saw in Hillary Clinton precisely the same kind of lying all of their kids do, and did, and will always do, because that’s what kids do when they wish to dodge responsibility for their snafus. And as much as they wished her to be president, historical and woman and all that, they could not help but see through her transparent pathological lying. They not only saw that she was a liar, but that she could not keep her stories straight as the lies evolved and evolved.

If there is anything my particular theory might have in common with various points made in the article, it is that HRC took major portions of her support (from any number of motley groups) for granted and felt free to ignore them. From my own experience, having nothing to do with politics, I can tell you that is a fatal flaw if it goes on long enough.

Then there’s your criminality and treason.

Just a coupla factors.

It was obvious to anyone with a brain that the “polls” were rigged, but the “me too” effort didn’t work.

Hillary and her people still have not faced the truth that she herself is the reason she lost.

The leftist media have still not faced the truth that they weren’t reporting the news, they were printing their own fantasies as news.

And, even more destructive, when they read what they printed they believed it!

Imagine how much she would have lost by if it wasn’t for the corrupt so-called media. They certainly did what they could.

Wow, HRC, if you’ve even lost Michiko Kakutani, the knee-jerkiest knee-jerk of a smug leftist fool that you could possibly imagine, it means that you’re really toast now...

Hillary Clinton has never been successful at anything. Everything that she touches turns into sh*t. That explains everything. She is arrogant and incompetent.

Still I don’t hear anybody saying the problem was the Candidate. elitist, law breaker with impunity. Liar, ruthless ambitions and feminine superiority complex.

She was the extreme end of the Machiavellian wherein too many people feared and hated hear and not enough people loved her.

The "Hillary postmortems" are like so much lint caught on a breeze...darting this way and that or other Postmortem's are like a stuck auto horn...most missing what was really going on....Americans still have values; they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman of such low character or a Socialist. As President Trump said..."what have you got to lose"!

Go American's!!!
