She won the popular vote by 3+ million, more Americans wanted her as president than Trump, even if she wasn't a great candidate by any means. Terrible public speaker for one. 

Even the whole electoral college thing ... the three states that flipped on her were

Pennsylvania - 44,292 votes in favor for Trump

Michigan - 10,704

Wisconsin - 22,700

That's basically 77,000 people that tilted the election in favor of Trump in three generally solid Democrat states. If those 77,000 people voted the other way or stayed home, she wins both the popular vote and the electoral college. 

Clinton did not campaign enough in those areas, but those 77,000 people basically upended the 3+ million that preferred Clinton as candidate.

For Democrats at least there's solace there, there's a good chance they flip back Penns, Michigan, and Wisconsin blue next time around because Trump is not going to have the "aw, what the heck, lets vote for this unknown commodity" going for him. 

 

The issue is... we bitch about the electoral college but Hillary supporters thought those states can't ever go Red and thought they had the EC advantage...The infamous blue wall...Trump had only ONE way of winning and Hillary did not play defense against that and to me, it shows Hubris by her.

Nate Silver showed how this was flawed and imo the fault of running an election to simply get millions of extra votes in Cali and not in the states that matter is solely the fault of Hillary Clinton and her team... nonone else..

 

Even with Russia and all of this, Hillary had the ability to easily won  but a simple tactical error and she is now into the trash heap of history. 

 

Reality is these states voted Obama handily and for Bill Clinton... The problem is all Hillary...how one can blame trump for Hillary losing states that been voting democrat since the 80s is a bit stupid.
