Perhaps the most corrupt politician ever to head a major party's ticket, and she was a political lifer and elite Washington insider in an election where one of the predominant tones was to have someone from outside of Washington. Oh, did I mention the corruption? She might have ended up being the only Dem candidate Trump could beat (and maybe vice versa when you think of it). Oh, and deciding not to campaign in Michigan and Wisconsin played a little bit of a part too.

I wouldn't expect her to express publicly how shitty of a candidate she actually was, but I'm sure she realizes deep inside how horrible she really is. :nod:

Most depressing election I could ever imagine.

Hillary was awful. Trump was awful. No debate on any issues. Just which candidate is more of a steaming pile.

She just makes me cringe... shudder (Yeesh)
Even when she's making a valid point somehow she still makes it annoying and duplicitous

The only problem is
Trump has turned out to be half the man he self-promoted himself to be
and we're left with ballyhoo alone and nothing else (zero substance or actual knowledge)

Oh I think she was definitely responsible for her own demise. I think that if she would never have decided to use a private server to handle her State Department e mail she'd be President right now. I don't think it's the only thing that hurt her. But I think if you just removed that one factor...her decision to use a private server and the resulting FBI investigation...she'd have been in. That private e mail server thing played a very central role in the campaign.

It wasn't the investigation it was Comey's personal interference, bless his heart. Doesn't matter, we get more war either way and the future belongs to China.

The irony of casting blame on the DNC for her loss in the general election is just rich considering all the heavy lifting the DNC did to rig the Democratic primary for her over Bernie.

I don't regret for an instance voting for the "other her" and not Clinton. What a train wreck.

Holy crap is she in denial
And while she repeated that it was a "mistake" to use a private email server during her time at the State Department, she also said that plenty of others -- including the media -- were complicit in fanning the flames.
In the new book that she is currently working on, she said: "I'm just using everything that anybody else said about it besides me to basically say: This was the biggest nothing burger -- ever."
Stop surrounding yourself with sycophants and you'll hear a different story.

Benghazi was a nothing burger. Her email server wasn't. Sad to hear she has a book coming out... assuming she won't be shutting up about 2016 anytime soon.
