      She lost because the electoral college is broken. That’s not the same as being “utterly unelectable”.

        Wasn’t her whole schtick that she knows politics better than anyone? She really should have seen that coming and campaigned in swing states

          I’m not trying to argue that she ran a great campaign.

      It was Russia that tipped the scale, including by convincing traditionally democratic voters in key states to vote third party or not at all.

        30 years of right-wing propaganda didn’t help either.

          And the sun was in her eyes, and there was a rock in her shoe, and the dog ate her homework, and…

            Are you trying to say the right hasn’t been attacking her since she was first lady?

              I’m saying it’s an excuse. The right hate any Democrat. She had already lost the right, then went on to make her withering contempt of the left mutual.

          She was by far the most qualified presidential candidate in history. You’ve fallen victim to a smear campaign, but are blissfully unaware of it.

            It’s really insulting being told that my opinion is the result of a smear campaign.

            I witnessed the smear campaign. It was unfair. I still didn’t like her.

            Then I’m repeatedly fucking lectured that an embattled former First Lady, two term Senator, one term Secretary of State was the MOST QUALIFIED EVER candidate. Being embattled and disliked isn’t as great an asset as you want to think, especially when you LOSE.

            No, she fucking wasn’t. And the insistence that she was really hurt her chances because a mythology was being built up around her rather than presenting her as an honest, straightforward candidate.

            She was uniquely qualified to lose to trump.
