I am tired of hearing how Hillary blew it

[Lee-Lee]

84. Hillary's downfall was trusting the wrong people

And not just for the campaign, but well before.

The whole email mess should have never been an issue because the people who advised her to do it and managed it for her should have been smart enough to grasp that a private server and the mixing of all her State business with private emails was a recipie for a big headache and hassle. They should have pushed State to get their IT up to meet her needs even if just for her and kept personal stuff separate.

I don't expect she knew the first thing of how a server works or how email policies worked. She said what she wanted and trusted people to make it work.

She wasn't foolish enough to click on a phishing email that ended up exposing the inner workings of the campaign to everyone. But someone on her staff was.

She wasn't the one who had pretty lax IT security for DNC servers and then didn't take warnings from the FBI seriously- but DNC staff did.

The same dynamic played out in the election. She listened to advisors who told her that states like NC were in the bag and didn't focus on the key states she needed to stop him. Sure, she won the popular vote- but that wasn't the task at hand. Her team seemed more focused on that than winning the electoral votes almost, for reasons I can't fathom.

No, she didn't lose the race. Her staff did. Her main fault was being overly loyal to people who have been loyal to her, but who were not the best people for the jobs at hand.
