      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

      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.

      10. Who took responsibility for the Vietnam debacle? (McNamara & no one else.) Or Iraq war, or 2008 meltdown? No one ever does.

          Took McNamara a lot of years to get to contrite. Almost 30 after escalation. Not that Rumsfeld ever will.

          Why would they take responsibility? They suffer no consequences by maintaining they were right.
