In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton: It was "intervention by Comey" [View all]Justice
(7,187 posts)36. Wrong.
It's vital to look at the reasons for her loss in terms of rescuing our country from Trump. Particularly now, when the evidence re Russia is coming out - Hillary said many of these things during the campaign but people/media didn't listen.
"All she can do is turn herself into a sympathetic figure."
Hillary is not interested in being a sympathetic figure - she is interested in the truth of what happened.
I for one agree with her. We are getting to the future without understanding the past. We can't just look forward, as that sweeps everything under the rug.

Yeah the "deplorable" comment was clearly a strategic mistake (which is why she walked it back)

The difference is that Comey dramatically overhauled an election that was looking like a big win.

I just don't think that dwelling on why Hillary lost can be at all productive

"What about holding Comey accountable?" - by doing what? (He's already been fired). n/t

I agree. It was like a punch in the gut when Comey's letter announcing the investigation came out.

Speaking of terror attacks, I am convinced Kerry would have won in 2004 if a Bin Laden video

I would argue that it wasn't too close. Comey completely overhauled the race with his stunt.

I don't agree that Comey moved the needle "just enough." I think he moved it a whole lot.

It's a ridiculous question because it sets up the implication that we are debating whether or not
