At least not the sole reason.
American news sites – Politico, The Guardian UK, The New York Times are some we have read – report that Secretary Clinton has blamed her Wednesday night’s loss on the two letters written by FBI director, James Comey about her indiscretion with the e-mails.
In the New York Times, Clinton is quoted to have told some of the contributors to her campaign that:
“There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful … our analysis is that Comey’s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum.”
True, Secretary Clinton got the first part right; there are a lot of reasons why elections like this fail …but while we understand that those who shed $100, 000 and more to a campaign that didn’t succeed in getting you elected need an explanation, any explanation even, this one analysis of the reason, we think is too one-sided.
The Clinton campaign failed for many reasons. Admittedly, even we are only coming to the full realization of some of them in hindsight (which by the way, in this 2016, can no longer be guaranteed 20/20). But we’d hoped the Clinton campaign might have figured that out already. It appears not. So here we are; with a few more reasons why the Clinton campaign failed.
The Comey letters …
Let’s start from the premise, shall we.
Secretary Clinton’s claims suggest that as at October 28th, just 11 days to #ElectionDay, we could have easily called her President-Elect Clinton. Actually, we sort of did. The reports say that she explained to her contributors that while the first letter released by James Comey on the 28th of October saw her poll numbers plunge, there was a rebound and the campaign was picking up until when the second letter was released just three days to the elections.
Sure, Comey releasing that letter suggesting that there was evidence that could lead the FBI to re-open the investigations did a lot of damage to her campaign, especially as it appeared that the Bureau did not have conclusive evidence of any more foul play. Hillary’s “extremely careless” handling of those e-mails was (and might still be) the real issue.
Polling …
All those rising polls and she still lost Wisconsin?
The truth is that there is a demographic -one that Trump saw clearly and spoke to – that Hillary Clinton’s campaign as well as her advisers and even her supporters – did not see. Probably geared on by the media buzz that was turned against her opponent, Trump, Hillary was sure she had the elections in a bag.
It’s safe to say that Hillary Clinton depended too much on computer-generated polls, statistics over real-time evidence. And that’s why Trump won.
It’s 2016 …
For the most part, Hillary’s message is everything the world should stand on and believe in but it’s 2016 and there are actual people who are rooting for a POTUS, Kanye West.
Of course Trump defeated Hillary.
This has nothing to do with the e-mails.
The Boomerang …
Did anyone else see how Trump’s clap-backs must have worked or nah? Try this:
Hillary: I have got experience. For thirty years … Trump: *snorts* Yes, 30 years of bad experience. Honestly, if there was any single moment that cost Hillary Clinton the elections, it was this one from the third debate. She’d reeled off her qualifications as a public servant; experience spanning over 30 years of the exact kind of experience that people – those who actually turned out to vote – no longer wanted. And that’s just one more reason.
