Liberal CNN Contributor: Not Helpful That Hillary Blames Everyone But Herself For 2016 Loss – Townhall

Hillary Clinton stopped by the hyper left Women In The World Summit last week, where she discussed with The New York Times Nicholas Kristof, among other things, the reasons for her upset 2016loss to President Donald J. Trump. Clinton placed the blame on Wikileaks, FBI Director James Comey, misogyny, and Russia. Notice anythinginteresting, like Hillary Clinton not taking responsibility for losing? Liberal CNN contributor Kirsten Powers mentioned this with CNNs Jake Taper yesterday, noting that this aversion to take responsibility (since you were the candidate) isnt helpful.

Powers said that people were attacking her on social media, questioning why she hates Clinton. She was adamant that she doesnt hate the former first lady, but that serving up red meat to progressive audiences while avoiding what you as the candidate could have done better isnt the best way to move on from this stinging defeat. We know that fake newsdidnt play a pivotal role in the 2016 election. Russia didnt tamper with voting totals. FBI Director Comey wanted towrite an op-ed about Russian interference in the summer of last year, but was stopped by the Obama White House. And 52 percent of white women voted for Trump, showing that the womens vote, much to the Lefts dismay, doesnt march to the beat of liberal ideology or gender. Its quite independent.

CNNs Tapper also added that Comey didnt tell Clinton to call tens of millions of Americans deplorable, like she did when referring to Trump voters, and that Russia didnt tell her campaignto not visitWisconsin.

Clinton and her followers seem to think that she was flawless, which occurs when your base only lives in cities with liberal media as news and progressives as neighbors. The truth of the matter is she sucked. The fact is thatallegations of possibly mishandling classified information on an email server that wasnt secure, or authorized by the State Department, might be a big deal to voters. Its also the issue that sunk her on character issues. No one liked or trusted Clinton. She had no economic message. She thought the Obama coalition would align with her, despite them rejecting her overwhelminglyduring the primaries. There were a lot of reasons why Clinton lost the 2016 election and some of them were her fault. We'll probably have to wait untilrapture when she finally admits this.
