or at least "made noise" that SCOTUS should totally go back to their chambers and stay there until they changed that decision.
Just like they should have done when SCOTUS handed the election to GWB...
Totally fell down on that, didn't they?
And when I have presented information in that first column - you state that she should have been MORE bulletproof to all of the obstacles that no other candidate has faced.
But I'll play your game:

"The FBI investigation seemingly behind her (and Clinton's resilience again proven), her discipline as a candidate and the rigor with which her staff approached the nuts and bolts — voter ID, organization building, etc. — of the campaign began to shine through.
Clinton was the far superior debater in each of the three debates. She was prepared and measured, keeping her cool as Trump tried to rattle her with attacks from all angles — personal, professional and just plain odd. In a word, she looked presidential, while he did not.
Then came Oct. 28 and a stunning letter from Comey that emails “pertinent” to the Clinton investigation had been discovered on a computer belonging to former congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) and his wife — longtime Clinton confidante Huma Abedin."

"Clinton was generally preferred by those who said foreign policy was the most important issue, too, but Trump was preferred by those who saw immigration or terrorism as most important. The key is the margins. On average, about 13 percent of people in the 27 states said foreign policy was most important and they preferred Clinton by an average of 30 points. On average, voters who said the economy was most important preferred Clinton by 7.3. But on terrorism, rated most important by a fifth of voters, on average, Trump led by an average of 21.8 points. On immigration (most important to an average of 12.2 percent of respondents)? A huge 42.1 percentage point lead for Trump." (of course if HRC had played to the immigration/islamophobia fears of the white working class voters after 8 years of Obama, she would have been excoriated for that, too.)
She and the campaign slammed Comey for what they claimed was unprecedented meddling in a presidential election, effectively turning the conversation in the race to the FBI as opposed to her presidential campaign.
Simultaneously, Clinton's on-the-ground organization began to assert itself — rolling up record totals in key Democratic communities in Florida and Nevada, totals that gave her campaign a massive leg-up Tuesday."

She ran against the Kremlin, 25 years of GOP smears that the far left opened wide and swallowed, misogyny, Comey, voter suppression aimed at democrats, and the statistical improbability of a party holding the WH for more than two consecutive terms, and still got more votes than any candidate but Obama.
Overcame all of that. Got the voters that were concerned about economics in nearly every swing state, as well as those who were concerned about social justice.

A bad candidate wouldn't have been keeping Putin up at night.
No other candidate has done that. But hey, it's Hillary we're talking about, so she totally blew it...
and that Comey announcement rocked ME to the foundation.
Who knows how many votes across America were sealed by that "one more thing?"
80,000? 
I know you have an agenda you are supporting here - but your notion that what Comey did had no impact, was inconsequential - I guess this is the revisionist history we all have to learn to dig through now in our new fact-free world.
it is pretty hard to ignore the Director of the FBI when he says he has evidence of transmitted classified materials, and 11 days before the election a whole new source for more emails which could include more classified materials.
You'd have to be pretty jaded and cynical to ignore all that - and if you ever had any issue with supporting Hillary, what a deal-breaker that would have been!
"Misogyny and anger on the far left weren't weaponized?" Come on. 
Now you're just yankin' my chain. 
I didn't even pay attention that you were not the source of the prior comment that irritated me so! 
I was trying to support YOU up thread!
