Failed presidential candidates tend to talk about things. Jimmy Carter did a lot of talking about fair voting in other countries, among other things, Al Gore talked about anthropogenic climate change (and had a rather funny turn on Saturday Night Live), and John Kerry talked about Senate stuff, because he was still a Senator.
What they didn't do was continually re-litigate the election that they lost
Not so Hillary Clinton, who has been making the rounds talking about how it's not her fault, and it wasn't fair.
Truth be told, she owns this, and she has owned this ever since hiring the total mook, ironically enough said mook was actually named Mook, to mismanage her campaign.
Now she is claiming that it is all the fault of those anti-capitalist socialists:
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton says identifying as a capitalist hurt her in the 2016 campaign.(emphasis mine)
Clinton, who beat out democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the party's nomination, said in a Wednesday interview with Time Inc. Brands executive Alan Murray that her economic policies were "probably" a hard sell for many Democratic primary voters, as reported by the Daily Beast.
“It’s hard to know, but I mean if you’re in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists or self-described socialists, and I’m asked ‘Are you a capitalist?’ and I say, ‘Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability.’ You know, that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh my gosh, she’s a capitalist!’ ” Clinton said.
Clinton just barely edged out Sanders in Iowa's first presidential caucus of the cycle.
………
The Daily Beast reported that Republicans quickly seized on the comments, posting them on multiple social media channels.
If I were a cynic,* I would think that Hillary is attempting to sabotage the Democratic Party so that they will run back to her in 2020, or because she's just spiteful.
Seriously, this is the sort of sh%$ that you should be doing over drinks with friends, not at the f%$#ing Shared Value Leadership Summit on camera.
To quote Samuel L. Jackson, I'm sock of these motherf%$#ing stakes on this motherf%$#ing plane!
*Oh, that's right, I am a cynic, and she IS being a spiteful narcissist who still has delusions another bite at the apple in 2020.
Poem, apologies to Theodore Geisel, after the break:
Hillary Rodham Clinton will you please go now!

By lion's tale.
Or stamp yourself
And go by mail.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Don't you know
The time has come
To go, go, GO!

Or
You can go by camel
In a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble-boat

I don't care how you go.
Just get!
Hillary Rodham Clinton!
I don't care how.
Hillary Rodham Clinton

So . . .
Hillary WENT.
