The inevitable Monday morning

With the publication of "Shattered", the media will undoubtedly put the final nail in the coffin of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign.  The usual crew of backbiting insiders are eager to portray themselves as the blameless victims of an unusually poorly run campaign.   What the book fails to do is explain why Hillary maintained a 3-7 percentage point lead in the polls throughout the campaign until FBI director James Comey dropped his bombshell of a continued investigation into Hillary's e-mails on October 28th.  Clinton's support dropped precipitously and while she did win the popular vote by a 2.4% margin, it was not enough to avert the loss of several key states which allowed for Cheeto Jesus' electoral college win.  A good case can be made that many voters who would have voted for Clinton changed their minds after the ephemeral e-mail "scandal" allowed them to justify voting for a racist, misogynistic lunatic.  The author's of "Shattered" would have served the public interest better by focusing on Comey's behavior and the continuing drip of evidence the Russians in collusion with Trump's campaign worked not only to undermine the US population's faith in the fairness of our elections but actively pushed for Trump's election.   These are the primary reason's for Hillary's loss.  I'm pretty sure a more exhaustive explanation of this election will be published with a more evidence based reporting.  It won't change the outcome, but it may at least let us know how the public was manipulated into electing a potentially catastrophic candidate.
