How much blame, if any, should be placed on Bill Clinton for the HRC loss?

Attorney General Loretta Lynch knew about the pending Comey letter and could have (indeed, should have) had it quashed.

She reportedly did not do so because of assurances she made of a hands-off attitude towards the case after a June encounter with Bill Clinton on a Phoenix tarmac that became very public.

IMO, it was a STUPID thing (for Bill Clinton) to do, he certainly didn't help his wife HRC.

    It was stupid for Both Bill Clinton and Lynch. They each know better. 
    But that was not the worst Bill did for his wife. Campaigning against OC when his wife was promising to keep it.

    Hello B:

    None..  There are races where you lost, and there are races where you just got beaten..

    Then (IYO) the F.B.I. Comey letter was of no consequence in the HRC election.   I don't agree with that but respect your opinion. This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at January 13, 2017 9:06 AM MST

    Hello again, B:

    It's a matter of whether you believe something was DONE to her, or whether she DID it to herself..  Yes, Comey's letter had EVERYTHING to do with her loss. 

    I grade the race on the 10 point must system they use in boxing..  By the way, I grade business's and football teams on the same scale..      Each campaign starts out with PERFECT scores, and they get deductions for every MISTAKE they make. Whoever makes the FEWEST mistakes wins.  It doesn't, at all, mean the winner didn't make mistakes.  As we know, he DID..

    In some ways all of the blame, because she wouldn't have been running at all if it wasn't for him.

    I await its replacement, if any, with bated breath.

    What good does it do to blame anyone at this point? A lot of people are demonstrating that they can't get on with their lives and are working entirely in "conspiracy theory mode".
