      1. I'm glad Nate Silver & others are bringing this up again because it was a crucial dynamic.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/855798244173115392 …

      The case that the Comey letter—or the media's handling of the letter—cost Clinton the election is painfully obvious. http://53eig.ht/2mOj8RU

      4. Might be good to address up the venerable "who is to blame?" question. My answer: all are sinners, all must atone.

      5. @drvox cogently argues closeness of election (70,000 votes in 3 states) meant many different factors could plausible have been decisive

      6. Who is to blame? Everyone. Bill, Hillary, Obama, GOP elite, Comey, your mama. Everyone.

      7. Trump's victory is such a catastrophe everyone who played even a small role should reflect on their culpability.

      8. Do I want the DNC, Clinton team and Hillary Clinton to be forthright about their mistakes? Yes. But others should as well.

          9. This is tangential but even though people should take responsibility, I'm sure no one will, especially no one in the elite.

          What's strange is that had she won, those same on the media would be vaulted higher.

          Yet you're "glad" Nate Silver says that Comey cost HRC the election. He's wrong: many things contributed including HRC sense of entitlement.

          Comey cost HRC the election /= Only Comey cost her the election. Close margin means lots of things could have swung it and many are culpable

          Problem is, if HRC & Clinton team admit culpability now, that's all the media will talk about. One more excuse for ignoring their own guilt.

          Yes, but what other losing candidates have been blamed so much for their losses and had such vehement demands for contrition?
