Clinton: ‘I Take Responsibility for Every Decision I Made, but That’s Not Why I Lost’
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 05/31/2017 | Cameron Cawthorne

Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday took responsibility for all her decisions during the 2016 campaign, but then said those decisions were not why she lost.

"Look, I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost, so I think it's important that we learn the real lessons from this last campaign," Clinton said during a question and answer session at the 2017 Code Conference.

She then discussed how the Russians were out to to influence the American elections, the economy, and unity within the United States.

This is not the first time that Clinton has blamed other factors for her election loss last year to Donald Trump. In early May, Clinton spoke at the Women for Women International conference, where she originally took responsibility for her actions, but then blamed former FBI Director James Comey and Russia.

Hillary takes full responsibility, even though . . .

Voter suppression elected Trump.

FBI Director Comey announcing a criminal investigation into Hillary’s felonies just over a week before the election, when he had little reason to think there was anything there, elected Trump.

The Russians ransacking Hillary’s computer files and strategically leaking the truth elected Trump.

Misogyny elected Trump.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein voters elected Trump.

Advocacy press on the right elected Trump.

Facebook elected Trump.

Twitter elected Trump.

Old, out-of-touch democrats with a flawed message that alienated young voters elected Trump.

White nationalists elected Trump.

Hatred of Hillary Clinton at the FBI (how could anyone hate a lovable woman like Hillary?) elected Trump.

FBI investigation elected Trump.

Email scandal elected Trump.

Black voters not liking Hillary elected Trump.

Fewer than 100,000 deplorable voters spread across a handful of states elected Trump.

People hating Hillary because she is so professional, so polished, such a wonderful lawyer, so brilliant, so good, so righteous, and so much better than us elected Trump.

The lack of energy among Hillary supporters and expectations of Hillary being the inevitable winner, because it was her turn, elected Trump.

Robby Mook selecting the wrong travel stops for Hillary and spending heavily in the wrong states elected Trump.

Hillary’s campaign team failing to hone her message and get voters to the polls elected Trump.

Bill Clinton’s appearance of an inappropriate meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch elected Trump.

Blatant sexism elected Trump.

Wikileaks elected Trump.

The ugly stew of racism elected Trump.

Hillary’s alleged lack of likability and claimed lack of trustworthiness elected Trump.

Self-hating women elected Trump.

Evangelical, Catholic, anti-marriage equality, and anti-choice social conservatives elected Trump.

Sinister outside forces elected Trump.

Whitelash elected Trump.

Democrat policies that favor the rich elected Trump.

Failure to talk to working-class white voters elected Trump.

Men elected Trump.

Lower-level FBI agents pressuring their Director (because that’s how professional relationships work) elected Trump.

Tim Kaine gave Hillary Virginia, but he also elected Trump.

White women elected Trump.

Racists elected Trump.

Sexists elected Trump.

Rural voters elected Trump.

The working class voting against their own interests elected Trump.

Reagan democrats elected Trump.

Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.

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.

The Russians DID try to influence the election, but their intercession failed. They had been working steadily on behalf of HERSELF, not Trump, as it has never been in the best interests of the Russian Federation to have to face a strong US President. The Russians had been more than pleased with the progress they had made in conjunction with the fumbles and retreats of the Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 2009-2017, as they were well on their way to re-establishing the old boundaries of the Soviet Empire.

The presence of Donald Trump on the world stage changes the course of that game, in unexpected and sometimes unpredictable ways. What would have been a straightforward progression to widening influence has now been skewed to the side, with Trump reasserting the projection of US power upon the world.

So the Russians are the bad guys now? The Russians, for the moment, are neither ally nor foe, and by a careful balancing of the use of both incentive and the veiled threat of force if the occasion arises, that status may remain in force for some time to come.

Herself really should not start out the day by drinking before she is supposed to get in front of people and ask them to give her their votes.

To HRC:

Get over it you big Beeyotch. You lost. Get on with your miserable life. You should be thankful you are not serving the rest of your life behind bars. You certainly deserve it for the host of crimes your slimy carcass has committed.

If this chronic-liar, old, hag, criminal-loser took “responsibility”, she would turn herself into a Fed SuperMax and stay there for the rest of her worthless criminal life.

I was very tempted to vote for her due to her attractiveness, charisma, great ideas, honesty and accomplishments, but when I found myself in the voting booth I just couldn’t do it. Perhaps I need a psychiatrist?

Rumors of her endorsement by the Bush family probably didn’t help her much.

A sane person cannot make this s**t up.

Has she not stroked out yet?

My favorite photo of the campaign (and memory-holed by the Democrat media) was Bill struggling to heave Hillary! up an airplane staircase. And there. Hillary had sharted herself.
