It's been decades since democrats ran both the house and senate while also owning the white house. There are not that many loony voters to swing alt- left, snowflake, liberals into all the offices.

3) Had she maintained her average margin of victory (12.5%) in California (30%), she would not have even come close to winning the popular vote.

In other words, had the popular vote - which is 100% irrelevant anyway - decreased by even 2% across the 16 other states she won, her California popular vote margin would have still left her with losing the national popular vote as well as the Electoral College.

She quite literally won the popular vote ONLY because California has so many Democrats concentrated in one area. Not because she was more popular. Do you understand?
Californians are Americans, too, in case you forgot. Their vote is no less important that your's. The post I initially addressed questioned Clinton's ability to connect with voters. By sheer volume of votes, she beat Trump by a large margin. Who cares if the vote came from California. It's still a vote.

Bullcrap, indeed.

The Comey letter, the Wikileaks may or may not be the reasons she lost but the are still reasons. They happened. You can't magically have things work out perfectly. Nothing ever does.

Many surprise "gotcha" allegations came out against Trump, had nearly the entire media in the country against him, truck loads of ex gov't officials against him but he still won. Her puny "Comey letter" and "Wikileaks" pale next to what he was up against. Time to look in the mirror, lady.

Not true. Totally out of context. You are taking a few words that were in response to a question at a women's conference.

Liberals are unable to look in the mirror, they can't understand for the life of them that people "Just weren't that into her".

Bernie supporters were not wooed by Hillary but threatened. Democrat party ( not all democrats) use intimidation to invoke fear. Even to the Bernie supporters.


Couldn't Hillary just do a sex change operation so that she can take the woman equation out of the election. Hillary just won't quit. How annoying is this to everyone?

It would be a serious mistake for the Democrats to run Hillary Clinton for President again IMO. Seriously doubt she will run again.

That might be true, but I wrote in the past that the Comey letter changed the mind of several people I've met, and not only undecided voters. Many people didn't want to vote for a candidate who was under FBI investigation. To quote what Bernie Sanders said during a debate, a lot of voters were "sick of hearing about (your) damn emails." When she brought up the Comey letter, she was referring to a poll by Nate Silver that showed she was well ahead of Trump before that announcement.

Anyway, most of her comments have been taken out of context. She was speaking at a Women's Conference and was asked questions about the election. Her first answer was that she made a lot of mistakes and that there were numerous factors that had an impact on the results.
