Why is Hillary Clinton Blaming Women for Election Loss

Mrs. Clinton rarely avoids bold communication, even when it might serve her better to pause and think more deeply first

Defeats and the concept of “losing” are challenging life experiences and emotional, psychological processing. Some react and respond better than others. When some people feel they were so close to accomplishment and maybe, I propose, feel entitled, loss settles deep into their being and they start pointing fingers to reduce the pain.

Maybe, I suggest, that’s what happened with Hillary Clinton, after her loss to the enemy, Donald Trump, someone it was difficult to understandably respect (for how he talked about her) in the 2016 Presidential Election.

A recent article, written by Stephen M. Lepore in the Daily Mail, revealed Clinton’s trauma, grief and anger remain over not becoming President of the United States and thus, the first woman in that position of status, authority and power.

What was surprising if not shocking to learn is that Mrs. Clinton says women were one significant reason that she didn’t win the election and the office. Clinton has spread out responsibility for her loss but now has added women to the list.

In talking about the book, “The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America,” Clinton expressed her disgust over then-FBI Director James Comey re-opening an investigation into her, days before the election.

“Once he did that to me, the people, the voters who left me, were women,” she said. “They left me because they just couldn't take a risk on me, because as a woman, I'm supposed to be perfect.”

This is pain talking yet is that assumption and declaration factual?
