People underestimated the power of Russian interference, or more realistically they were unaware that Russians were going to throw their full weight behind Trump.
No, people overestimated the power of a Hillary Clinton Campaign. Just like the did in the 2008 Democratic Primaries.
HRC underachieved in all three national campaigns she was a candidate in. She was the presumed likely nominee early on in the 2008 primaries. Obama came out of nowhere and easily took nomination away from her. She was suppose to crush Sanders and get the nomination early in 2016. She only beat Sanders because the DNC cheated for her and she had a majority of the Super delegates. She was a huge favorite to beat Trump.
In all three examples it was her race to lose. In two of those and almost a third she did lose.
The best analogy for me is a Super Bowl where one team is a 21 point favorite. Fans from both sides expect the favorite team to blow the other team out. However the favorite ends up losing by a point and their fans blame a couple of questionable calls by the officials in the 4th quarter as the reason why they lost. Their fans never even consider that if they played up to their potential the would not have needed the refs to bail them out.
Clinton had everything going for her. She had the MSM, hollywood, scores of Republican politicians who either switched over and voted for her or simply stated they were not voting for Trump. She had the POTUS and FLOTUS furiously campaigning on her behalf. She had the Comey gift two days before the election. She had much bigger war chest and much more organized ground game. Most world leaders wanted her to win, newspapers who never endorsed a Democrat endorsed her. Odds before election day were 90%+ chance for her winning. Yet somehow the left blames the so called Russians influence the primary reason Clinton lost. The same Russians that in 2012 Obama chided Romney over by saying “the 1980’s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.”
Ann Coulter was right. She stuck with Trump throughout all the ups and downs and almost impossible odds and never stabbed Trump in the back when things looked bleak like so many other Republicans did.

Their full weight behind Trump?
They could have released all of Hillary's deleted emails, and even Obama's corrupt administration wouldn't be able to save her at that point.

This is why people had no choice but to vote against her.

She was the first to go on air and predict it right.
you do know a year and a half ago none of the evidence had came out about Russian involvement...right?
And even Trump was amazed when he won.
Remember when Romney said Russia was our biggest geopolitical adversary and the left mocked and laughed at him... the left was wrong
The JV Team,... the left was wrong again,
Ann Colter predicting a Trump win, the left laughed at her... the left was wrong again,
Healthcare premiums would go down... the left was wrong again,
You can keep your doctor.... the left was wrong again
The left believing they were going to coronate Hillary... the left was wrong again,
Oh and the left predicting a major stock market crash if Trump won.... the left was wrong again,
and on and on..
So many things you leftist were wrong about. Is there a reason we should believe you now?

Trump wasn't amazed that he won. He knew it days before the election.
You do know that even Trump has admitted that Russia was involved in our election... right?
