3. A combination of 3 things

1-Russian election tampering.
2-Hillary making mistakes with her VP selection, and campaigning on a platform of stronger gun control. Gun control is an overall vote loser and candidates shouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
3-Bernie or Bust types who stayed home and didn't vote to 'teach the DNC a lesson'.

1a - James Comey and the FBI coup.
4. Republican voter suppression. I think a lot of people would have come out, but they were prevented from voting.

... than the buffoon.

She had some mis-steps (nothing close to the orange ignoramuses) ... but all candidates and campaigns do.

She was strong on issues that matter to Democrats and Democrats voted for her (again, 2.7 million more voters voted for her than the orange buffoon)

coupled with russkies voting illegally in PA, MI, and WI.

Voter suppression laws and other illegal "crosschecking", such as voter ID laws in WI, illegal voter intimidation and illegally demanding ID in Philadelphia and NC, sabotage of voting machines, etc. all contibuted to our loss.

Bernie Sanders' attacks, his supporters staying home/voting 3rd party as well as Clinton campaign's own flaws.
