Because we as Democrats allowed Republicans and their media enablers to frame narratives about national security and safety and the big strong Republican daddy complex that we've validated by feeling we have to appoint someone from "the other side" to positions of power.

If we all agree that no Comey=No Clinton loss then we also have to look in the mirror and realized that we bear some responsibility for this and that we can't allow bullshit like that to happen again.
