33. Hillary made some mistakes.

She could have set up a home server under the auspices of the State Department IT Office, I am sure they would have bent over backward to help the boss set up a system that followed all protocol. Hillary should have released ALL transcripts of all her paid speeches on Day 1 of her campaign. Over her political career, Hillary's penchant for privacy seems to have been her biggest enemy - for example, if she had just released the legal papers related to her real estate work for the Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, there may have never been a full blown Whitewater investigation, which morphed into a witchhunt. But some of the sustained often virulent attacks on Hillary by some that say they are on our side also hurt her chances, that should not be denied and people need to resolve to not do stuff like that during the future.
