It seems obvious that Comey cost Clinton the election. It was that close that the 2+ point hit did the trickhttps://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/797217982367825921 …

Maybe not. You know how when VCs don't like a startup they find reasons to believe the startup will fail?

It seemed the same in this election. It was only because people were lukewarm about Hillary that they cared about the emails.

for sure. She seemed unusually susceptible to these seemingly minor events. But the Comey letter was still a spark for Trump in polls

without that spark , her lead would still have declined , but at a slower pace. Crucial in such a tight race

feels like timing is everything here. If the election took place day after the third debate , HRC would have won in a landslide
