The main reason for Hillary Clinton's defeat is Hillary Clinton.. Mrs. Pantsuit on Fire needs to get over her Russophobic paranoia and learn to accept the fact that she is unpopular and  that she has a tendency to alienate people. Referring to half of Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables"  wasn't very astute. Although Vladimir Putin couldn't vote in the U.S. Presidential election (unlike the millions of illegal immigrants and deceased who generally support the Democrats), the "deplorables" turned out to vote in record numbers, especially in the Rust Belt states. On election day, Mrs. Clinton paid a hefty price for insulting tens of millions of Americans. Rather than accept the blame for her defeat however, Hillary and her accomplices (such as Barack Hussein Obama)  are creating conspiracy theories so absurd that they would have embarrassed the late Senator Joseph McCarthy.
