Also didn’t help that Clinton was so unlikeable and out-of-touch. Militarily and Economically she fell along Republican lines too often and she wasn’t particularly progressive beyond Socially. Even then it always felt like unless it was Women’s rights she was reluctant to rock the boat.
She was a rich white lady career politician with a cheating former President husband and a hawkish reputation. Don’t get me wrong: I voted for her and think she’d have been a decent president, but Kamala and Tim are FAAAAR better than her and her forgettable VP pick ever were.
This comment above goes in to full detail and I think sums Clinton up perfectly - but I agree with you: Comey was the death knell. Without that I still think she would have gotten away with everything else.
I think she lost because of Comey at the end. It shaved whatever margin she could have won
