(31,261 posts)She should have spent more time finding out what State Department Protocol on email was by going to the State Department Technology Director and working through that group to get a home based system that allowed her to stay connected to embassies around the world. Hillary should have made all of her speech transcripts public the day she announced her run, there was nothing in them that was damaging, the allusion that she feared releasing them was far more damaging. Hillary could have spent more time on the campaign trail, going to small towns and cities and staying in supporter's homes along the way, as Obama did regularly - it hurts to say it, but Trump simply out worked Hillary when it came to campaign stops.
Lastly, and this is a touchy issue, Hillary should have been ready and willing to explain why she chose to stay with Bill after his infidelities. Unfortunately, the reality is female candidates, especially Democratic female candidates, get smudged by affairs their husbands have, not being willing to talk about that and explain why Bill is valued by her allowed Trump and his Nazis to make an issue of Hillary's marriage. There were attacks on Hillary via Bill's infidelities during the primary and general.
