Hillary lost because of several contributing factors, the prime was because Corey released a letter to the republicans in congress
11 days before the election, and the MEDIA pushed the LIE that the email investigation was reopened. That entire week the MSM paraded every right wing pundit across their outlets, along with headlines in the major newspapers, propagating that lie. Hillary was ahead in every poll by about 4 points before that happened, completely erased that lead after Corey came out.
Finally, when Corey came out late Friday, the weekend before the general election, saying there was nothing found that merited the reopening the email case, the MSM barely mentioned it as a byline. The damage had already been done.
It is NOT a coincidence why we lost, and it had NOTHING to do with 8 years of Obama.
What finally clinched it though was the so-called progressives who refused to vote for Hillary, by either voting third party, or not voting, pushing the lie that there was "no difference between republicans and Democrats", "the Supreme Court didn't matter", and they were tired of voting for the lesser of the two "evils", which conned enough people, especially young people to either vote third party or not vote, and it didn't take much.
As I pointed out, in every critical swing state, Hillary loss by less than 1%, while Jill Stein received 1% of the vote in those swing states.
Because of THOSE thing we lost the Supreme Court, and anyone who didn't recognize that the Supreme Court was at state in 2016, especially after what happened in 2000, are not particularly bright people.
