Hillary was winning in nearly every poll and nearly every forecasting model, and nearly every predictive market for nearly every day of the entire campaign.

She lost only because of the combination of some of the biggest electoral crimes in our political history, including international espionage and campaign financing violations, and also including the biggest last-minute dirty trick in our political history as well. Even still, she overcame massive voter suppression efforts to still have a big majority, and lost only due to the targetted nature of the cheating and manipulation.

To blame Hillary would be results-mongering in the extreme if it weren't such an already debunked position. As it is, it's a completely disingenuous claim. Considering everything she was up against, including a media that gave her opponent about 80% of airtime and covered her largely only to talk about fabricated scandals, she did amazingly well.
