Clinton blames Russia, FBI chief for 2016 election loss

[from the article]

 

Clinton stated broadly that she takes “absolute personal responsibility” for her failure to win the White House. Yet the Democratic nominee declined to fault her strategy or message, nor did she acknowledge her own weak­nesses as a campaigner or the struggles by her and her advisers to at first comprehend and then respond to the angry mood of broad swaths of the electorate.

 

Instead, Clinton attributed her defeat to a range of external ­forces, including saying she was a victim of misogyny and of “false equivalency” in the news media.

Sort of like the classic non-apology apology. Obviously there are myriad factors at work in any close election, but I’d prefer my losing candidates to do more reflection and less whining. (Not to mention how it feeds into the whole Trumpublican narrative that the Democrats are more concerned about re-litigating the election than about the well- being of the country.)
