      For those piling on re @GlennThrush, would suggest reading the @PhilipRucker piece on same topic. Makes same point.

      I humbly submit my piece on who is to blame for your consideration. I believe it's complicated:http://wapo.st/2oBsOPE

      It is. And she basically made that point. But hard to square "I take responsibility" with "everyone else is responsible."

      I mean, arguably one can say, "I take responsibility for what *I* did wrong," *and* say, "this external factor was *also* to blame"

      Would argue that the order of that, saying "Until Oct. 27 I'd be your president" and "i'm responsible but," dilutes the statement.

      I agree to a point. I don't think we can *know* she would have won before Oct 27. At same time it's legit to argue she very well might have

          It's also just really hard to win a third term for the same party. That's another reality of this. But why the need to blame journos?

          Given that Comey letter explicitly said it might be nothing, think more restraint was called for. Not an excuse for mistakes she made tho

          Maggie thinks she would have won - in fact so much so she used it as a defense for emails/foundation coverage - "she's likely to win so..."
