I don't get it

I've always said she lost the election the moment she called 1/4 of the Nation's voting population deplorable.

In my view, the decades of negative Faux coverage are the primary reason the elections was close. The Clintons have long been subject to a double standard by rightward leaning voters and some in the middle.

Since it was a close election, especially in some of deciding states, it is very likely the Russians affected the outcome of the election.

The 1/4 "deplorables" were never going to vote for Hillary.  Why would that one remark would affect voters more that Trump's comments about fat women, Mexican rapists, and what celebrities can do to women?

The private server was a problem, certainly, but the alternative was still someone who knew nothing about government and didn't understand how that might be a problem, some one unfocused, unserious, offering quick fixes and magical resolutions.
