Hillary Clinton appeared to offer up a mixed message about her loss in the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump, saying she was personally responsible – while also blaming the FBI director and Wikileaks.

"I take absolute personal responsibility," Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women International event. "I was the candidate; I was the person on the ballot."

But just a couple minutes later, Clinton said she "had a very strong assessment" that she was on the path to winning, until FBI Director James Comey publicly announced he might reopen the investigation into her use of a personal email server when she was secretary of State.

"I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on Oct. 28 and Russian Wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off," she said. "And the evidence for that intervening event is compelling, persuasive."

During her long-ranging interview with Amanpour, Clinton also blamed misogyny and Russian President Vladimir Putin's interference for her loss.

The U.S. intelligence community has blamed Russia for orchestrating a campaign of cyberattacks on Democratic political organizations with the goal of undermining public confidence in the democratic process and denigrate Clinton. During the campaign, anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks released the emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and other Democratic officials.

Clinton, whose answers were in line with what she has already said publicly about her loss, pointed out that she still won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.

Expect to learn more about her thoughts on the campaign when she releases her book about the experience.

Had she won, and became the first female president of the United States, "it would have been a really big deal," she said. "I am writing a book and it’s a painful process reliving the campaign."

but she right on her 'buuutt...' them emails did help turn the tide. But it should have never been that close and it's on her.

but that people's minds were made up.

to say she was on the path to winning was just as true the day before the election. everyone knew she would win. even Trump

Russia controls the Electoral College? lol

#themocrats stay losing.

It's true she was on her way to winning, then the Comey thing dropped changed that trajectory.

That being said it is ultimately her responsibility that she lost. To put another way she should have had enough of a lead so that they Comey dip didn't bring her too far down.

"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

even after Comey helped her out by saying he wasn't gonna press charges the first time (how quickly we forget).

Then the mess of everything else lost her the tie.

I mean, the real absurdity is that while she may have had Comey and Wiki-american-Leaks damage her 1. they damaged her by either explaining what she did, or what she was going to do, there was no lie; and 2. TRUMP HAD HAYMAKER SCANDALS LEFT AND RIGHT lol

it is not like Trump was infallible and somehow she lost a lead. It was always a tie, and Trump made a priority of campaigning to people in rural areas that she left behind. Gotta secure the whole state, not just the big cities. Works for primaries, not for national elections.

and we know plenty awful evil bitches post here too.

why give them more space for their bullshit?

what the fuck?

fuck you.

can strike such an emotional nerve with you (and others).

You are in here throwing an honest to god fit.



The many failures of her, her campaign, her party, and her biggest fans have been discussed to death...

But the scariest part of all of this is, this??

The fact that folks like you...that the party...the she herself (miss me with that "I Was on the ballot" bullsh!t)

etc

Can't take an honest look back and say "we should have done x, x, and x differently???

We are doomed. Doomed.

Impossible not to smile at this one.

Only blue talk and love.

She won the popular vote by nearly 3 million.

Comey acted like a BITCH because he was afraid Republicans would start attacking him.

Russians CLEARLY influenced the goober states with propaganda.

And there IS fake news - all of it going against Democrats.

Only thing going away if the safety net and your future.

Rest In Peace, Bad News Brown

If she won the popular vote then how did Russia influence the election? She got more votes than Trump, but she lost the electoral count. Russia can't influence the electoral votes. Your American Democrats and Republicans gerrymandering districts do that.

So we've gone from Russia hacking voting booths, to breaching DNC servers, to just propaganda that made me think Hillary was terrible? THE LEAKS WERE THE DNC'S OWN EMAILS IN THEIR WORDS. Given for interpretation. Whether Russia did it or not, the gripe is with the DNC, not the messenger.

PLUS Trump had a scandal a day. If she couldn't get out ahead of her negative press but he could then = Her. Fault.

The same Comey that let her off the hook and didn't prosecute is now the reason she lost? I said from the beginning when he let her slide that it was a ticking time bomb to let this Bush appointed director be in charge of the green and red light. And that he could pull the trigger at ANY moment. Hillary supporters partied and said they didn't care, until now they do because he did what he always could have done.

WikiLeaks were a "nothing burger" with just yoga coupons and recipes. If thats the case, then why were the e-mails damaging if nothing was in them.

Terrible campaign. Flawed candidate. Coulda done better. Hope yall figure this out by 2018, but its not looking hopeful.

"Jim Comey didn't tell her not to campaign in Wisconsin after the convention, Jim Comey didn't say 'don't put any resources into Michigan until the final week,'"

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/david-axelrod-to-hillary-clinton-it-takes-a-lot-of-work-to-lose-to-donald-trump/

David Axelrod on Hillary Clinton: "It takes a lot of work to lose to Donald Trump"

David Axelrod, a former top adviser to President Barack Obama, told CNN on Wednesday that "it takes a lot of work to lose to Donald Trump," referring to former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's surprising loss in her race for the for the White House.

" Jim Comey didn't tell her not to campaign in Wisconsin after the convention, Jim Comey didn't say 'don't put any resources into Michigan until the final week,'" Axelrod said.

His comments came after Clinton sat down Tuesday for an interview in which she partly blamed Comey's letter to Congress, which came out just 11 days before the presidential election and reopened the FBI's investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server, for her campaign's loss on November 8.

"I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me, but got scared off," Clinton said.

Axelrod blamed Clinton's campaign mistakes for her loss, such as her lack of attention to key states like Michigan and Wisconsin, rather than outside factors such as the Comey letter. Both states went for Mr. Trump in November, the first time a Republican won either in decades.

"One of the things that hindered her in the campaign was a sense that she never fully was willing to take responsibility for her mistakes, particularly that server," Axelrod said.

Yesterday, Mr. Trump tweeted about Clinton's comments on Comey, saying that the FBI director was "the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton" because he recommended she not face criminal charges over the server. Mr. Trump followed up with a tweet arguing that the "Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election."

let down.

i can't say it had a huge impact on me but it introduced me to radiohead or at least made me pay attention. either way i'm glad i heard it.

thanks, q101.

fuck you.

it was morning glory after all.

it turns out you were right.

fuck you.

most of us (ppl who didn't vote for her) long before Comey, Russia, Wikileaks etc.

Blaming ppl who may have pulled the cover off a mess of truths about herself and the DNC is a diversion from the truths that were revealed

And yet, even blaming those revelations about herself and the DNC is a diversion from the reality that her camp was already losing its grip on both the independent middle vote AND the far left long before any of that.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

If yo ass get clapped, bitch shut yo trap.

The version on 2001 is the right one. That original is kinda huff.

fuck you.

is itching. I can't reach it bc I'm in public. Or I shouldn't at least.

fuck you.

to the system that fucks your shit up, fair or unfair. That's why I have no sympathy for her. That's her fault for not putting Trump away early.

Right next to my woman.

fuck you.

Because his lack of discipline and inability to wrangle his supporters was a major factor too.

And for the people saying it shouldn't have gotten close enough for any of this to matter: no shit. I bet you also thought your parents should give you a pony. Unfortunately we don't always get to pick and choose the state of the electorate. The best any campaign can do is optimize its strategy for the electorate as it stands. And the Clinton campaign did that.

to do, just like Gore, Dukakis, Romney, Bush Sr., and McCain all did. I mean damn, the SCOTUS basically took the presidency out of Gore's hands and he took it like a G.

Nobody owed Hillary the White House.

Do you actually think Al Gore never gave an interview?

Did Al Gore pretend he didn't notice that the butterfly ballot was a problem, that Pat Buchanan's numbers in Palm Beach county looked odd?

That doesn't mean he was making excuses. No one thing brings down any campaign.

The comparisons to Al Gore are valuable. History repeats itself with fake progressives failing to stand up for actual progress.

somebody SECRETLY taped and then leaked cost Romney the election. But he moved on.

Bush fucking the economy up and it blowing up within 6 weeks of election day cost McCain the election, but he moved on.

Mofos lying on Kerry's war record cost him the election, but he moved on.

What they all had in common and what Hillary and her people seem to lack is the idea that they weren't owed the presidency. In most elections one candidate takes a fatal blow and that's part of it all. Unless there's clear or provable fraud or foul play, it's whack to kvetch after the fact

She did an interview, she was asked about this stuff, and she responded honestly. Every single person you listed did exactly the same thing, many times over.

And nobody, ever, said that Hillary Clinton was owed the presidency. You're indulging in a trite, sexist cliche.

>The best any campaign can do is optimize its
>strategy for the electorate as it stands. And the Clinton

C'mon man. The Clinton campaign optimized its strategy for the electorate?? lol

I live in VA. The moment I knew Trump had a decent chance to win was when Clinton suddenly did a massive advertising blitz in late October in Virginia while Trump was steadily pumping them in for months.
That last minute panic showed me that they grossly misread the electorate and misused their resources.

Look at how many rallies and events Trump had in the midwest vs Clinton. Was that an optimized strategy?
