The Hillary Clinton campaign did everything right, and still lost. The story that has emerged from the Clinton campaign team is that they were too slow to respond to Donald Trump’s whirlwind of insults, and all the while they were out-hustled and out-organized. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we would have won,” explained Clinton senior adviser Mark Penn, who helped write her closing argument. “I can't tell you how much we would have won if she had been president.” But one of the most important things about losing is accepting responsibility for any failure. And that’s where the campaign seems to have run into trouble: They seem to be trying to blame everyone but themselves.
