Hillary, or the GOP legislators who blocked funding to improve security for the diplomatic corps?

A long-running justification for this loathing of Clinton, one that has been trotted out often since her election loss, and now again as an excuse to bash her book, is that she is uniquely unlikable. “She was a terrible candidate!” go the cries, ignoring the fact she was the most qualified candidate in a generation, who got more votes than any candidate ever, with the exception of Barack Obama in 2008.
...
Of course people can argue with Clinton’s ideas. But to dismiss her book without even reading it, with the demand that she “shut the fuck up” is yet more evidence of the misogyny that has always, obviously, been behind the outsized vitriol she attracts. Worse, she is now an uncomfortable reminder for white liberals that the majority of white Americans would rather vote for a man with a long history of racism than a woman. For all the talk about how Clinton lost because she neglected the working class, 88% of African Americans, who have endured far worse and longer economic hardship than white Americans, voted for her.
Ta-Nehisi Coates writes in his new book, We Were Eight Years in Power: “Certainly not every Trump voter is a white supremacist. But every Trump voter felt it acceptable to hand the fate of the country over to one.” There is no justification for that, no matter how much others try to blame Clinton. But national self-awareness is painful. How much easier just to burn the witch, and her book.

Regan said that you could not apply for unemployment went you left the service. You quit your job.
That did not last long. But it did screw me.
Beirut was stupid.
Benghazi was deliberate.

"Elimination of Unemployment Compensation For Those Who Quit the Military: Men and women who voluntarily leave military service after July 1, 1981, will not be eligible for unemployment compensation if the Reagan Administration's proposal becomes law. This would bring the armed forces, which are now voluntary, in line with most civilian state employees, who are either temporarily disqualified from benefits or receive reduced amounts of benefits."

Really?
deliberate - adjective
1 : characterized by or resulting from careful and thorough consideration
2 : characterized by awareness of the consequences
3 : slow, unhurried, and steady as though allowing time for decision on each individual action involved

Then she and gullible idiots supporting her blamed everybody, The Russians, Bernie Bros, The Deplorables, everybody but herself...
I'm only seeing this from the other side of the water but a quick Google turns up:
Clinton admits election mistakes in new book
Hillary Clinton admits to making several mistakes in her quest to become US president in a new memoir.
Hillary Clinton has admitted to making more than one mistake in her losing presidential campaign, and she's also passed around plenty of blame on others as she revisits the defeat in a new book.
Clinton calls her use of a private email server while at the State Department 'dumb.'
She also says her comment about putting coal miners out of business is the mistake she regrets the most, and called her paid speeches to Wall Street banks bad 'optics.'
Hillary Clinton admitted in her new book that it "was a mistake" for her to rake in six-figure fees for corporate speeches on Wall Street just before running for president, which both Republicans and Democrats criticized during the campaign.
And plenty more from across the media world.
Paul
She also said that none of her mistakes was the one that cost her the election. She put the blame on someone else rather than add up all her mistakes and see they account for a ten point margin.
quoting polls that were admitadly fudged by the pollsters is hilarious.

A vague attempt to make a point when you got nothing of substance. Bernie teach you that? [I'm digging into you Filiam, but don't take it to mean that we're not friends ever, please. I just debate hard.]

Bernie wrote: Benghazi was deliberate.Do you mean the way the Republicans deliberately voted to cut the funding for embassy security?
Or do you mean the way the Republicans deliberately tried to turn misguided statements into felony offenses?
Or do you mean the way the Republicans deliberately misrepresented what happened in an effort to fuel their base's preexisting hatred for Clinton?
Or do you mean the way the Republicans deliberately wasted over two years and over six million dollars trying to "get" Clinton for it and totally failed because it was all BS from the git-go?
