(9,753 posts)Campaigns need to be won in the face of all opposition, or you . . . lose.
And sometime history does turn on "want of a nail."
If Comey hadn't reopened the email case two weeks before the election, Clinton would be president.
If Clinton had never uttered the word 'deplorables,' she'd be president.
If Podesta (or the other 19 Clinton staffers) had a clue about email hygiene and phishing attacks, Clinton would be in the White House today.
And, of course, if all the systemic abuses you list didn't exist and if Clinton didn't have the largest baggage train in political history and had made fewer tactical and strategic errors.
And if millions of people like me hadn't said, "Americans are not stupid enough to put Trump in the White House." (Although I'm not sure what I'd have done if I'd seen Trump's win coming.)
