1. The vote was so close any number of issues may have cost Hillary the election.

1. I am sure the NRA was responsible for her losing several thousand votes.
2. The constant release of e-mails I am sure was responsible for her losing several thousand votes.
3. Her statement about the deploribles cost votes.
4. All the attacks from Bernie Sanders in the primaries cost her votes.
5. Bill Clinton saying Obamacare was the biggest mess he ever saw cost her votes.
6. The Comey letter cost several thousand votes
7. I would say the biggest damage at all was the news media.
8. Another one would be those so called millennials that wasted the their vote on someone that couldn't win or didn't vote
at all.

I don't think any one of those could be singled out as (THE) reason she lost.
