While she's not free of blame for losing, the primary opposition party candidate colluding with a foreign power to manipulate the election definitely had more of an effect on the result than anything she did. DNC emails poisoning the progressives support for her while Comey's investigation into being made public (because of Republicans leaking it) eroded away the support of independents and undecided voters.
In an alternate world whete the RNC emails got leaked and Comey's investigation of Trump got leaked to the public and there is no way Trump wins and likely is in handcuffs before Jan 20 2017
That's how all campaigns die, a death by a thousand cuts. Such things should be anticipated. Nothing hurt Hillary more in that election than Hillary being Hillary.
As for the emails, they could never have been leaked if they didn't exist in the first place. The complaint is essentially that they got caught. How Trumpian.
Comey really fucked it. I have not forgotten
Can't say I'm happy with how he handled things, though it does need to be said he didn't bring the investigation to the public, he took it to congress, who immediately leaked it.
Sure. People who think the GOP isn't a terrorist organisation are going to be the death of this country though. It's too late to act like that's not the case imo
