    Look at who she let win the presidency?

    She got more votes - the American voters literally preferred her but the electoral college does mean some votes are effectively worth more than others.

      All these people thinking that she was too dumb to beat Trump also must assume that she created the electoral college. I’m at a total loss on a lot of comments in this thread.

        The electoral college is not the only reason she lost, though?

        She could have gotten more votes had she not been a crappy candidate, evidence of her being so is in other comment on this thread

          Yup. Complaining about the electoral college is like bitching about losing a game because of a bad call by the referee. That’s just part of the game and you have to outplay it if you want to win.

        Or that she was too steeped in hubris to take it into account and campaign accordingly.
