and blames the entire mess on other people.

Yes, the Russian connection and Comey's announcement had impacts, but to suggest we did nothing wrong or that we made no major mistakes is nothing less than a total cop-out. Our candidate should have been far enough ahead of a scumbag like Trump to more than make up for any of those handicaps you cited.

It's so easy to put the entire blame upon other people for our losses while never facing the cold hard truth that there were too many people in this country who just did not like Hillary Clinton at all, and nothing, not even Trump, was going to change their minds about her, no matter how good a president she would have been.

Not only that, but the people running our campaign thought we had it all wrapped up and left us wide open to a last minute surge by the biggest con artist of the century. That was a monumental blunder.
