33. You might not have called her a corporatist. But a whole lot of people did. Constantly.

I'm sorry, but I blame them, particularly those on the left side of the isle because of the damage they inflicted. To then turn around and blame Hillary for running a bad campaign chaps my ass. Maybe you didn't do that. But it's not fair to ignore those who did and put the blame squarely on her. Everywhere, it was Hillary was winning. Trump had no chance. A vast majority of the time she was ahead in the polls. She even won the popular vote by a huge margin. The claim that she lost because she she ran a bad campaign is beyond weak. I'm not saying she made no mistakes, but there are bigger reasons she lost.
