Hillary Clinton might be in full agreement with a claim made here since she’s always in the mood to point a finger at everybody except herself:
Today is the 1-year anniversary of the Comey letter, which was probably decisive in the election. https://t.co/FjiCZKHbdr

To be slightly more precise, I'd argue that it was the media's coverage of the letter that mattered as much or more than the letter itself.

Hillary’s fans are agreeing with that and even saying the word “probably” should be changed to “definitely,” but real reason couldn’t be that Hillary Clinton wasn’t a good Dem candidate and the pollsters just missed the mark badly, could it?

I doubt it was decisive. Think Hillary ignoring rust belt & her "basket of deplorables." Dems must take responsibility for party's failure https://t.co/GGv2o4wOwZ

But Clinton will no doubt appreciate the help with her blame game.
Almost as decisive as nominating her in the first place. https://t.co/OBd7zQLOql

Those who blew election predictions just can’t stop pushing those talking points.
